Ever wondered just how crappy GhR is? And AA also? Here's a way to find out!
1. Note the number of frames per second you get while playing AA and Ghost Recon for 10 minutes as a range between two numbers. (i.e. I get 15-35 frames for GhR depending upon the map) If you do not know how to get your frames per second, the
http://mp.macclans.com website has instructions for showing the framerate in both games.
2. Every time you see something that wouldn't happen in real life... for instance, a character warps, a dead body hangs out over an edge but doesn't fall, or a gun sticking through a wall
3. Now, get the True Combat mod (plays a lot like AA crossed with CounterStrike) for Quake 3 and test the same things:

4. Compare. Honestly, this mod was made by guys during their free time. It plays better and has more realism than Ghost Recon and America's Army combined, and yet gets 3 times the framerate with no bugs. Bow to the quake engine and know that it is the best around (for sooo many reasons). I elaborate more here:

Yes, that is a website of just me venting about things. More content when I have the time, for now its just a homemade editorial column on the world around me. Link will be included wherever I can put it.
