If it is, you may be in trouble posting this picture in General Discussion.
In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.
Troll much?
Based on the sexy water effects it looks like it could be, but as said above it may not have been wise to post it.
Want it now though!

But this is like ingame?
Sorry, last statement is stating the obvious.
Meant ingame as I'm looking at it now on Live servers.
Here's one from Steel Canyon:

Stretching the forums is bad. Reduce the screenshot size.
Obvious shoop is obvious...
Looks like just normal water effects.
Prunejuice is warriors drink.
Doesn't look like Ultramode to me, at all.
The building in the background in the Steel shot does not look at all like the officially released screenshots in terms of the appearance I would expect.
Additionally, there have been no announcements of even beta testing regarding ultramode, so I would highly doubt a slip release to live.
These just look like screenshots from someone with the current setting maxed out.
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

That isn't ultra mode.

Do you have an ATI video card, by any chance? The ATI video cards can produce those water effects independent of the game or its settings. Ultra Mode will also involve the addition of other things, such as ambient occlusion which will change the look of the game. There are some screenies on this page that illustrate the differences.

lolz those pix arent of ultra mode. If u have an ati card it has like a mirrored effect to the game. Weird but not Ultra Mode
Have you ever noticed that when the water effects are on like the one on the screenshots, the reflection of the characters is completely messed up ?
Reflection appears above your head, upside down, insteed or appearing under the legs.
Most noticeable when you look down.
For those of us with ATI cards...
Yes... At least, it would seem so to us

Going by the lack of shadows and ambient occlusion, I'm gonna have to say "no"

That's just the normal low settings for water effects on more recent ATI cards. The high settings looks a little bit better but has the weird offset mirroring effect.
Not Ultra Mode.

Besides, Ultra Mode is not just about how the water looks on the surface. The video they showed at HeroCon had the camera pan up so that as you looked more directly down into the water, you would see more of what was below the surface. Like the tiling in the pools around Atlas.
It was so cool to watch them manually manipulate the time of day, and watch the shadows move across the plaza. It was so much more defined than it is now.
Or is it?
