Common guys, speedtree isnt new technology, just cus theyre going to be using ST5 doesnt mean its got to have high poly count trees, infact ST uses clever techniques and so a higher detailed tree will probably have a lower poly count a be graphicaly nicer than what is ingame currently.
For an example Dark ages of camelot used Speedtree 3 from their 3rd expansion onwards and that was a seamless openworld and battles were with hundreds of people. Just cus theyre using ST5 doesnt mean they have to use it to make the trees and foliage look as nice as they do in a limited zoned 1 player game, but it should give them the scope to make things better looking and better performing than they are now.
Simply put theres no reason not to use ST5 over current models IMO, just dont expect the trees to look as good as those in 1 player vids, but expect them to look better than whats in now.
