Does anyone have this game? I am embarrassed to admit this game slipped under my radar until it was released recently. Some are touting it as beating HL2 and Doom3 to the punch in starting the next generation of FPS games. It's not been hyped at all, but the reviews seem very flattering.

it's supposed to be a really killer fps game in single player. multiplayer seems more of a mixed bag but it's rumored to have superb modding tools.

Sounds familiar...

I have the full game, and it looks promising... great graphics, large maps... I've only got to second level though...

First level is some very large beach level, which ends when you're going into a ship. In the ship you have to fight your way to the top, which is where I'm now. On the top of the boat there's tons of soldiers, plus an annoying hilicopter... I've only once managed to kill all soldiers, but then I got killed as I tried to get the escape boat into the water... the boat killed me


It's interesting that in level 2 you can quickly go back to level 1, by jumping of the ship (into the water), then swim ashore

ADG if you used the same method to get this as you described in the UT2004 thread I am amazed at your prowess.

I've got the full version. Graphically, it is the best looking game released to date and it manages to run a a good framerate on my pretty average system (Gforce 4 TI 4200, 1 gig RAM, Athlon 1800+) with all settings on either medium or high. I can't put enough emphasis on how amazing this game looks.

Graphics is about all the game is good for, however. The gameplay is adequate. The story is basically non-existant. And the voice acting... oh god! Only resident evil 1 has worse voice acting than this game. Overall I'd probably give it a 7 or 7.5 of 10.

Maybe you drank enough to forget drinking?

Anyway what's your opinion of the FC gameplay?

So far the gameplay looks ok... nothing special for this type of game... and for now there haven't really been any story
The AI can be very stupid sometimes:
You've got the ability to throw small rocks (lots of them), and where I am now, I can keep throwing rocks into the air, and the enemy keep shooting at those small rocks... even after throwing 50 rocks into the air, they shoot at the rock as soon as they see it

But the level design is awsome (for what I've seen until now)... very large and very georgeous maps...




But I'm stuck at the moment... not in the game itself, but I wont be able to play any new games at the moment, since I've only got some very old computer that barely works... just because my computer got 'wasted'

In my case, yes.
I had a bad short-term memory even before I started drinking.

I'm pretty far into the game now, and I'd definately recommend it if you're looking for a good SP FPS. The levels are generally large and lavish, and there is no real "set" path for getting through most situations. The AI gets progressively tougher, and for those that haven't run into the more beastly enemies yet, just wait and see...

I had some good fun in the first level of the demo... To bad I'm so terrible at these story-line FPS'es.

Fair warning - if you're on the realistic difficulty setting, parts of this game are a huge pain in the ass toward the end.
