I forgot to mention, that when you've got the binocks up it has a microphone. You can hear the chater of the troops your looking at, motors running in the distance, footsteps, and so forth. There are alot of items to make your sneaking succesful and generally alot of information coming back to you via hud, that is very well done.

I hear you Rude, i cant wait to see what they have in store for MP. Im drooling over the potential. With all that foliage i can see snipers being good for controling sections of map. IE making people not want to travel through sections for fear of being sniped from nowhere, and therefore moving into other sectors where some heavy weapons could be.

Just gotta sit and wait, MP demo is slated for early march, with full version mid to end of march.

I don't think so man, and I think in multiplayer the whole island is in use which is great, Like misguy said I can't wait to see what else Far Cry has in store.

I've played a bit and I really enjoy the physics and AI. The graphics, of course, are excellent. I can imagine a Counter-Strike clone for this engine easily...

I have an Asus A7V133 motherboard using an AMD 1.2ghz Thunderbird,
640 megs of SD (yes, single datarate) RAM and a 128Meg GF4Ti4600.

The game runs VERY WELL at 1024x768 @ 32bit and all original settings.

Hopefully, I hear the developers are actually paying attention to community feedback, let's hope they don't pull an IW on us.

it will be my dream game. it will have customizable skins, bf1942 scale battles. great AI. and too many weapons to name, not to mention your basic classes and other things like ironsights (i think it might not be true, im not sure). ITS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!!! sub par graphics is the only bad things

Its like a flight sim. Its more of a fighting sim. more about gameplay than looks which will hopefully stop some noobs from getting th game.
