good one

SaberZ · Jul 10, 2004, 04:23 AM

very nice indeed.

Im thinking about getting teh game tommorow but im not sure how its going to run.

Think with my system specs below i'd be able to play fine at 1280 x 1024 maybe like? 2xAA 2xAF? and high settings? Or am i just dreaming ?

yeah. it'll run fine.

I got a Radeon 9800SE modded to PRO.

it runs really well. Almost max settings(I say ALMOST)

if you want to test it, you can download the demo. its about 200mb I think.

its an okay game. Visually pleasing but not a huge leap over UT2004. whatever anyone tells you, its more of a resource eatter than anything else. the only game I've seen that eats more is HaloPC. Its just not that great coding.

I've played the game through nearly twice on the system showing in my rig. It plays great and looks fantastic!!!

The only place I had any performance problems was at the volcano/lava level. If you encounter the 'slideshow' effect, just stay away from the heat of the battle and take out opponents from a distance. Once you lower their number, things get back to normal.

Good luck! I hope you get the game and have a blast with it like I have!
