Enclave had peak graphics. Everything went too rea-lis-hum shit afterwards.

It was the peak era of graphics imo. I often have a hard time seeing things clearly in newer games.

Obviously late '90s PC games were great too, but the era of PC games that begins with Return to Castle Wolfenstein and ends with Crysis was kino.

I've been playing this with an upscaled sourceport and it's a very nice looking game for its time.

Exec think if "consumers" cant see everything in the map at all times, its going to disconenct of "montly game service", Its on their checklist

Who needs anything else when you can have polygons, polygons, and polygons? Pssst, B-team dev, stop working on whatever project you're working on so the next CoD can have 1% more realistic weapons!

I put so many hours into battlefield 2.
Then they decided to go multiplatform and that COD was their rival and the game got watered down so much.
