Why did it drop 10$? i thought it was going to be 49.99$ for PC at launch? did something happen =X?

complaining?

its all good that the price went down but it makes it feel like im buying a budget pc title =X so should i expect alot from this? im still going to pick it up but it doesnt come in till tommorow

sometimes the cheapest games are the best.

So, I need some reviews about the game. How did you guys like it? I wanna know before I buy it, and I might possibly rent it tomorrow if it comes in.

Zimmer, thoughts on the game?

Got my russian version working managed to change the language to English (the menu's and in game text all a bit weird though with extra code and stuff written out). But I just wanted to make sure it ran ok, which it seems to got it on 1650x1080 with x4 AA (x8 times did cause some frame rate issues), as far as I can tell though the only graphic options are really the res, AA and vsync.
Like I say though seems to run well on mine after a quick go, gonna give it a bit more of test than prolly try and buy it at the weekend.

My specs btw:

E8400 @ stock
2gig ddr2 ram
ATI 4850 which is factory overclocked.

yeah i saw that one and i didnt even bother grabbing it.......ill wait for a proper

How is the actual gameplay?

You can change the advanced settings from the graphics menu before launching a game.

Yeah I got that far, but as I say is there like an uber setting or something 'cus the high settings I'm getting don't seem all that amazing...

Um.... I played it in the end, and my thoughts?

Hm.... Trying to think of how to describe first impressions.

For a first, the fact that your instructions and tutorial stopped the game with a stupid text box in the middle telling you what to do is just down right stupid. Keep me in the game and I'll look at the tutorial when I need to.

Movement was cool, and the movement of the other soldiers looked fine. One problem. The sprinting just fails. Big time. I think I basically went at the same speed as when walking, it just looked as if I was sprinting.

Guns? The SCAR (I think) I was using was quite nice, decent model and nice reload actions, but it sounded a bit weak at times, and at others sounded way too powerful. I don't know why, but when I was shooting only about 100 yards or so, the gun sounded awful, but then when I was shooting over stupidly long distances (I was trying to snipe some retards in a base below me) then it sounded hellishly powerful.

AI? Well... Friendly AI is pretty damn smart, and helps you out along the way. With suppressing fire and the sort always laid down when you're approaching an enemy, as well as them noticing if an enemy pops up from behind a wall or something and then they start shooting. Enemy AI wasn't so impressive. It was slow at times, in the wrong position at others and did some weird stuff - I was sniping this guy who was at the entrance of a barn below me (was on a hill) and when he noticed the shots around him (the effects of the bullets hitting the targets and stuff is pretty sweet) he, instead of running or getting backup or something..... Went in the fucking prone position. I was like "wtf".

Now, I haven't tried it enough to give a proper verdict, all I am stating here is what I saw in the few minutes I played. Grenades are awesomely powerful and sweet to use - although the throwing action is a bit retarded.

The detail of enemy soldiers is poor (as in, the graphical detail. It's blurred and not very nice - Simple comparison would be to use MGS4 as a base on what detail should be seen).

The game is slow. Maybe a bit too slow. It's tense, definitely, and feels like a real shooter, but at times you're just like "where the fuck is my next target/enemy". And when you do come across the enemy, the firefight isn't impressive and usually gets finished in a couple of seconds. Then again, this is only after about 1/2 of a mission. So I could be entirely wrong.

One thing that seriously seriously pissed me off though, was the fact that your guy comes to a complete halt if you want to switch weapon. So basically, when you use your mouse wheel whilst running to quickly switch or something, he goes to a complete halt and then lets you switch it. It's neither realistic or practical. Big mistake there.
