I have to say I agree. The engine is like a hybrid of the old with the new. Frame rate drops occur when smoke and explosions occur (old & new engine), trees cause frame rate problems (old & new) and shadows cause frame rate problems (old & new). These issues effect frame rate greatly and so far in the beta have not been addressed. Nvidia Sli as of now is not working properly and I am starting to get worried that the Edge engine will not deliver. I just saying how i feel with the Beta build, still love the game, will always buy modules and play it, just feel confused with what Edge is actually doing.
