    Sweet. I hope this game will be good although I have my reservations about it.

    It's gonna be Far Cry with better graphics and more Koreans to shoot. So good. Hopefully they learned their lesson from the first game and ditch as much of the indoor shit as they can.

    On the Beta signup, under the graphics card list - it doesn't show the 8800 768mb RAM card, what gives?

    I dont know but i bet if you put the 640mb one they will probably arrest you for falsifying your system specs!

    You mean in regards to those weapons? Because they've always been there. You get the freezing gun if you capture and hold all the alien sites and can buy it in one of the facilities, prototype I believe. It's the same for the nuke launcher, although for that you just need the facility.

    Ouch. Well, this is the first game that I had to turn down the resolution to get a playable framerate on my otherwise beefy machine. I would make judgment calls on the multiplayer except that it crashes continuously on me so I couldn't really play anyway.

    It's pretty, though.

    This game is strange. Very odd graphical glitches I haven't had since Tribes 2. I guess I'll have to wait until everything is ironed out.

    i really want to try this, but.... even the quake wars demo ran and looked like a 1st generation n64 game on my setup. i think crysis would literally force my pc to start turning tricks behind the olive garden.

    I shot some trees and they didn't fall down. I was so disappointed. Other than that, the demo felt overly complicated, motion blur was WAY overdone, and it wasn't even that good looking.

    That only works in the DX10 multiplayer.

    Otherwise it'll still happen in the DX9 singleplayer, it's just that it'd just be a massive strain on most peoples systems in multiplayer.

    Also, you're under NDA so you really shouldn't be posting feedback

    wait this beta actually runs well for people? When I go to load anything it takes ten minutes to load all the textures (it has the compile icon) and then it plays at 5 fps no matter what my settings.

    7950
    2 gigs of ram
    3800 AMD

    I didnt think i would have problems like this, figured it was everyone, but now that everyone can get in the beta it makes me question that maybe im having issues....

    Wow, just wow. If the system specs are that high, I don't care if it's game of the decade, I can't see them selling many copies. O_o

    Reckon it's just because it's still in Beta and it'll improve before release?

    Undoubtedly. The Quake Wars demo was a massive improvement over the beta in terms of graphics and performance, as was World in Conflict.

    I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I used the auto detect to see my settings and it set everything to medium. I have an 8800GTS E6600, with 2G Ram. I have no idea what it looks like, but in most games "medium" textures look like mud, but we'll see. It's a little disheartening to see my new card already thrashed by new software, but I guess we'll see how it looks in comparison to TF2.

    But it looks like Duke Nukem 3D on low.

    On my 7900 GT it plays like ass. On medium settings on widescreen res it was deeeecent. At first I was getting artifacts all over the god damned place.

    Undoubtedly. The Quake Wars demo was a massive improvement over the beta in terms of graphics and performance, as was World in Conflict.

    I recall playing the WiC beta and I got a 20-25 average on medium on a lowly P4 3.4 / X800 256, and I was happy with that. But when the demo came out and I had upgraded to a 8800 GTS 640MB, the new benchmark was something of a slideshow no matter which settings. Of course, that might simply have been that the new benchmark demo was a lot more demanding of the CPU than the beta one.

    EDIT: Oh Fileplanet. Why do you say you have keys left when I get a "now closed" after going through all the steps and clicking the "Get the key here!" button?
