The fact that there are still performance issues, has to do with the engine of SupCom. The newer hardware only delays these issues. For 1v1 games, the delay is so big that the game is over before the issues become apparent, so they seem to have been taken care of. For games with more players or on larger maps or playing against the AI, this is not the case.

With modern day hardware I don't see many performance issues, actually. In fact, any Intel dual core starting from E8400 is probably enough to play this game in a decent way and that's not a young CPU nowadays.

it wont explode, this would be too cool . it'll most probably just keep rising slowly until... people stop playing it i guess. that might happen when there is some big revplution in gaming like virtual reality.

I think in the event that the overall population explodes, everyone from beforehand should get a badge or something.

Yes, we don't have quitters; we have disconnects... the effect is the same.

Which is really easy to explain actually...

Even to the bitter end, there is always a chance for a win in this game.

There is often a 'if I can last 2 extra seconds... [x] will happen' -be it a nuke or a swarm of mercies.
There are a lot of cheese tactics that can pull off a win in a clutch situation.

Aslong as you're not Australian people will treat you fine.

Some people will get annoyed if you don't understand the meta for certain maps that are over played. But hey you have to learn somehow. Most people are happy to give advice, so just be careful who you listen too.

Also with that Plasma_Wolf, I remember that when GPGNet shut down, as a consolidation to players, if you had owned either Vanilla or FA you received a key automatically for the Gold edition when you registered the game under Steam.

I think there's one correction necessary: for as far as I know, FAF has no way of checking whether you have SupCom+FA or only FA, so if you only have FA, you can actually still play with all four factions in FAF. That would be a great addition to have commented in his video.

Does anyone have a reddit account to tell him? Or should I make one (I don't want to do it just for this).

I used to play a lot of LoL (although way past the level of play with most toxic parts of the community) and I think a lot of FAF players are underestimating just how friendly this community is when compared to casual games. Even with the occassional sekel or mav rage or even setons drama, most people take ragers with humor and as nothing very serious. There's probably going to be a couple of more casual players at lower ratings because of TBs video, but you shouldn't take them too seriously. The difference between FAF and moba communities is extremely large. We really seem like saints compared to them even if I say so myself xD
