    idk, but ultra gfx are awesome if you computer can handle them in multiplayer. but the engine scales quite well without losing too much of its galmor.
    high still looks great, even medium isnt all that bad given that you dont just stand around and adore the pretteh in multiplayer ...

    i have mixed settings with the most weight on AA and AF. motion blur f.e. is quite demanding and not very useful in multiplayer anyway. though it adds a lot to the wow effect ;)

    the only thing i need to turn down in the graphics is texture size, because i get texture streaming lags when turning around to quickly or leaving a house

    Sounds like a typical console port issue, just like in all GTA titles since GTA3.
    Can't a modern game swap all textures of a zone/map to RAM and load them to graphic RAM when needed, instead of streaming from disk to graphic RAM all the time? It obviously can't or I just don't understand why that wouldn't work.

    no
    its just from what i understood from their explanation to the tech of the engine, they use multiple pretty huge texture layers
    and to not use too much memory, they stream them
    i think its not necessarily my HDD, could also be the CPU or GPU thats a tad too slow if it needs to load half of a maps textures at once on the fly

    here is a pretty interesting presentation on the engine:
    Part 1
    Part 2
    Part 3
    Part 4
    Part 5

    L85 confirmed for OP.

    I played a few rounds last night.
    I was doing pretty well, topping my teams scoreboard (they weren't amazing)
    I only died to grenade launchers/smaws and the L85, the guy using it went like, 70 for 10. (he was pretty good, but still that's ridiculous)

    I can't wait to unlock mine before dice nerf the shiiiit out of it.

    L85 is so much fun to use with foregrip and heavy barrel.

    Long range barrel stats:
    +50% accuracy on first shot
    +50% recoil
    +50% accuracy lost for each shot.

    IE, 1st shot it's more accurate, 2nd shot it's identical, 3rd shot it's worse.

    Suppressor/no attachment erryday

    That's interesting you say that because my stats did actually go down after long range barrel.. I'm like 3 kills from silencer tho
