The folks at EA Mythic were kind enough to share these eleven new screenshots with those of us who took the recent trip to visit their studio in Fairfax, Virginia.

Check out all eleven here.

Its just you!  Graphics will never define if a game will be great or bad!

Just to let everyone know that this beta is restricted to a combination of low and medium graphics setting so that all testers have the same setup. If you are in beta, you cannot modify graphics quality. This allows Mythic to ensure the beta problems are attributed to the game-play systems and are not the player's PC's fault.

The lighting system isn't even in beta yet!

EDIT: Removed fanboy attitude. Added, WAR community politeness.

You would think that they should atleast turn the shadows on when takeing screenshots to show off their game.

depends on which version of the client the machine they used to snap the shots have.  If its the current Beta version that the testers have it would explain the medium to low res setting.  These are still higher quality than older ones ...and I've seen shots they recently did on the warherald with full shadowing / lighting on and its pretty bad ass looking for an mmo game thats meant to work for dozens of folks instead of an elite few.

Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints. He'll give you the simple explination of..WE"RE ALL DOOMED!

I stared into the smile of death

to me it looks like there trying to go half WoW cartoony and crappy but somehow still endearing graphics and half today nice graphics. I like them, I don't love them but the art of the IP is so good it will look great, you know the whole atmosphere of everything is really detailed.

Wow, some actual screenshots. They look good to me too, kinda like wow but taken up a few notches. The lack of ingame assets released has made me skeptical of this game. This puts my mind at ease a bit. Atleast the female in one of the screenshots looks feminine but still bad ass. AOC's females look like skinny man chicks.

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know that.
