It doesn't have a setting to max out detail, that's my only problem with it.

Frame lag like a mofo. Could use some minor fixing up in a few graphic departments. There was a small white line, appairently a gap, in the skin of the handgun.

Plus sides. Forest are EXTREAMLY dense, with great ground cover. Water is stunning and when swiming underwater you can still see above water, and AI can see below. Ai is smart and will call for backup, using cover properly and coving eachothers movment. They seem to have super vision though as 90% of the time sneaking low through the forrest i would hear them yell out that they had spotted me and i couldnt see shit. Enemys dont show up on radar until you acctually see them, and added plus.

Killing ai can take as little as 1 well placed chest shot, and you wont be making any one man army runs at them. The open ended objectives leave you roaming around with no real preset path. Ai dosnt spawn after being killed, and there is a set number on the map. They have asigned patrol paths but can be distracted by happenings elsewhere. Therefore they are rarly in the same place twice once into the game a few minutes.

Should be an interesting game when released. I only wish that it ran a little smoother.

Alright i just ran throught the thing again. I updated my vid card drviers just to be sure i was current. I maxed out settings that are important to me, ie environment, models, so forth, leaving the rest at medium to high. Running at 1024x768x32 with medium antialiasing, my vid card forces 2x on all programs, which is probably what medium would have been. Also i heard from a beta tester that if your not using the "Very High" setting on lighting than you may acctually degrade proformance because it will not be using the DX9 renderer.

The biggest tweak i did was something i hadnt thought about until i rememberd playing VC for the first time. I upped the mouse sensetivity to about 3/4. That tends to fix the "sluggish" response people complained about in the controls. Worked in VC, worked in FarCry as well. This made for a great game, and i have a totally differant view of the game after doing these small things.

Also finding out that the binoculars can pick out enemy's at great range made the map far easier. Also hiding under the docks and making noise so they would look for you made it easy to kill that entire group.

The scenry is incredible

Thanks for the SSs, I guess I'll download this tongiht and give it a shot. I so hate SP but it will give me somthing to try before they release the MP part or the game itself. Hell I have not even touched the sp part of COD
