I do not think that the nuke in World in Conflict was the best I've seen. It's graphically impressive, but there are too little dust blowing on the ground, the shockwave looks weak, etc.
Why not? My mother is still an alien and my entire family used to be. We even have a government identification card to prove it!
Anyways I think life beyond Earth is very much probable, but probable does not necessarily mean that it has to be.
Well the engine is cpu demanding, so I don't think extra eye candy will hurt that much, at least for newer rigs.
And if it does, just turn the new feature off :D
I think explosions could look a lot better in LOMAC... :( sure on aircraft going at mach 1 wouldn't notice it from miles away, but from black shark I think it would be noticible.
I agree that it's not a priority though.
I too was looking forward to seeing a huge boom with the bomb, but it was very disappointing. Does anyone know if ED cares about updating the explosion visuals by any chance?
