Why doesn't anyone USE the terrain features?

Cube is primarily a terrain engine, right? Why are there no maps that are wide open, outdoor affairs? From what I can tell, Cube is capable of very detailed, curvy and perfect terrain. Why doesn't someone churn outa Tribes 2-ish map with rolling hills and a few temples? Think of the sniper potential!

In other words, straight slopes. I figured it might do that but your first reply sounded like it didn't.

Slope command, cut and paste, grouped up/down adjustment ...

it certinally could be useful (the cutoff point would still get annoying)

I know some other game engine, that may do more then Cube can.

I know many such engines. However, none of them gives me 150FPS with the highest-quality settings enabled.

and misconfigured @320x200 i get 900fps ;)

... @1920×1440 i still get 50fps (without FSAA, obviously)... but I think it's truncated @1600x1200 by driver or card, as some parts of the hud/menus are displayed out of screen...

ok we all know that, you can make some whicked hills and junk, but! if you make alot of them over a long span of land it gives you wqd so high, it realy licks the funky polar bears ass hole!if you ask me i think that would suck, also not many pc's can handle a mapsize 20 let aline a mapsize 8! mabe the new cube realese Aard is making will be better for that and you can try and get a nother mod team, and it will be another mod on the list, that will have a 90% chance of failing. so have fun
