Myth: Core Decision's engine is incapable of high-end graphics and physics processing, thus it will not succeed in the modern FPS market.
Fact: Core Decision's engine is more than capable of most any graphics or physics processing you can throw at it. It is capable of full-scene real-time soft shadowing, can handle bump-mapped textures at(and possibly over) 1024x1024, and can use scripts to determine physics for specific objects. However, HighOctane is not planning on making these enhancements necessary, in order to support a wider range of computers. Essentially, HighOctane Software is trying to make this engine as scalable as possible.
Myth:
Fact: Agreed that FPS games are often times not truly about the story and more about the action. However, the rest of this statement is almost 100% inaccurate.Core Decision > Forums > Mobius wrote:Given this is a multi-player-ONLY mod - how CAN there be a story?

Given this is a multi-player-ONLY mod
Not sure how many times this must be stressed but Core Decision is not a mod. Also, I'm once again stunned by a myth that floats around, Multiplayer Only. If people would take the time to read the FAQs and the Interviews they would see that this game is not only Multiplayer but also has a very large compliment of Singleplayer levels as well. Which in addition we will most likely release an expansion pack for later. If it were multiplayer only we would have released it already.
Easy, we hire storyboard artists, writers, researchers, and some very hard boiled critics. They then proceed to write a story and have it ripped to shreads in front of them until they get a small part of it right. That small part goes on to the storyboard artist who make pictures to go with it while the writers continue to find more gold in with the rock.how CAN there be a story?
Rest assured that we do have a story.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may think of in regards to this game.
