I put about 6 hours into it yesterday and activated two of the three nexus things. I'll probably wrap that up today.

Unfortunatly i do have to admit it seems a bit doom 3ish in the later levels. The squad parts and vehicle parts are done well enough. Though i am tired of getting a squad for 5 minutes to clear 2 rooms then they have to "secure this area" while a lone marine fordges on to the next objective.

Took some snaps of some kinda neat stuff, no spoilers, hell in fact i was so busy most of the time i missed taking the screen. Links to some to save the 56kers. Others displayed for coolness.

The lighting in this game continues to astound and confuse. Sometimes you'll get shadows cast by marines and shit, sometimes you wont... when you do, its pretty.

Marine armor and helmets are pretty fucking cool.

Overall a sweet game, that obviously kept me busy for half a day yesterday, and likly atleast 3 or so hours today. We shall see. All in all its not a system hog either. Im running high settings on everything but AA and thats at 2x with a reso of 1280x1024. Thats with a system approaching 2 years old. AMD 64 3200+, 1 gig ddr400 ram, and a nvidia 5950 ultra 256. Its by no means top of the line, but its not bargin basement either. The 5950u is really proving to hold up well with everything i've thrown at it.
