    CryEngine, the engine from Crysis designed for first person shooters? I know the physics are good, but surely they must have realised that it’s not really designed for this type of thing.

    Ahh yes the server meshing, it’s been forever since I’ve heard about that. I’m going to guess that it’s still not up to scratch.

      Chris(t) Roberts wanted it, he got it, and like his contemporary my-hero he fires people that disagree with his bad ideas.

      It’s actually pretty impressive what they’ve been able to do with the engine from a purely technical perspective but yeah it’s pretty baffling that’s what they chose to go with, I can’t imagine the development was much faster than just making a new engine from scratch considering the amount of refactoring they must have done.
