On my Asus G75 the game set textures to ultra and everything else on high. Tried setting everything to ultra and it wasn't unplayable.

The game itself seems clear upgrade from BF3 after 1-2 hours of playing.

Looks like they removed most of the stupid filters. The game does not seem to look nearly as anaemic as BF3.

Edit: Turns out I have the access to the beta.

Feel no mercy, strike them down with great vengeance and furious anger.

I sense a lot of sexual frustrations on this forum.

That's what I've been saying

Steam Adding Option To Share And Borrow Games

RPS' article on Steam's recent announcement of the friend/family game sharing feature.

Here’s something I never expected to say: Steam has stolen a feature from the Xbox One, and it’s really, really cool. Back before Microsoft cut the cord on that X-est of bones’ online requirement, it touted a family sharing program as one of the (few) perks that constant connectedness would bring. But then there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth about, well, everything else, so Microsoft packed up its whizzbang new toy and went home. The only real winners in that whole scenario? Us! Soon, we’ll be able to share our entire Steam libraries with up to ten people of our choosing.

I just had an insane battle. LEGIO III AVGVSTA and LEGIO VI FERRATA stormed the city of Syracuse. The city was defended by an enemy army and the local garrison.

I deployed both armies in double line around the city and let my heavy ballistae to soften the enemy.

Soon the two enemy fleets arrived, carrying roughly 17 units split between them. The firs fleet landed in the harbour of Syracuse, but the other was heading towards my flank. Because of that I held back the assault order, and after a while the majority of the second fleet landed to reinforce the army in the city. Few missile units stayed behind by the coast, but I decided to attack. My praetorians and veteran legionaries face the hoplites and the the rest of my legions made their way, slowly but surely, into the city. When the last hoplite fell LEGIO III had lost its general, but my army was already in the central plaza of Syracuse.

About 30 minutes later the last remainin enemies were the skirmishers from the ships that landed to harass me after the assault and the few units by the harbour.

The whole strength of the enemy army was almost 7000 units. My army was slightly smaller.



I love these battles with 40 units.

There are no Brewster B-239's in War Thunder.

I don't see how this game doesn't have challenge, twice now I've gotten into fights with multiple countries who have caused me major headaches. Currently fighting Athens and Macedon as Sparta I'm having a hell of a time, and some really great battles. Even lost a few of them. The AI is not as bad as some people make it out to be.

Indeed. Rome 2 seems so far the most challenging Total War game. Same with the AI.

Worth noting that the battles are about 10 times better with the morale and unit speed mods.
