Ok so I logged into ER today to see if the performance has improved since launch. It hasn't (think they licensed VG's engine or something!). Anyway as I was running out of the swamps I saw an oranged flagged player so proceeded to open fire on him. Forgot I was neutral and needed to force fire on him for the first shot to make cross hairs go red and do some damage. Spent the next three minutes shooting at him and not doing any damage and proceeded to get my arse handed to me and give him all my loot!
I'm a dumb assed noob sometimes!
On a side not I'm enjoying my ew blisteringly fast internet connection, 2.7 GB in 8 minutes!
