Well, They released the demo 1 day early, and my first impression wasn't too excited. The setting and graphics were just like Rainbow six and Lockdown. Gameplay is hard, but beatable, as long as you go slow and cautious. You should update your video card drivers, and even though you don't have the new ageia physics card, the drivers for that have to be updated. Reason being, the old drivers will conflict with you graphic card drivers. The icon for the ageia physics card will show in you system tray, just right click, go to help, update drivers. You will be looking for version 2.42. Also, I found out that this demo was the one they were going to release last year, but some changes to the game postponed the release. So, the full release should be a lot better. It will still have to be patched to put in MP options like LMS, TDm, server tools and other tools for the Modders. So, we will be see what happens next week.

Gonna have to be a lot of patches to bring the gameplay up to the level of GR1.
And I really do feel sorry for those who won't be able to afford to play this game because they can't upgrade their rigs.
This is all a conspiracy to get us to buy Xbox 360's.
Btw... I have a mid level card... ATI X800XL... and all I can squeeze out for frame rates are the mid 20's.
I did just update the Ageia stuff... (sorta dumb to have to do that for a recent release albeit a demo)... maybe that will help and I'll update my ATI drivers....

What is it with games recently needing stratospheric system requirements?? I just did a major upgrade on mine a couple of months ago (Athlon 64 3700+, 2gig RAM, GeForce 7800GT) and it's pretty sweet... but you shouldn't have to do that just to get playable framerates!

Well, my download stopped halfway through, and I didn't feel like waiting another 30 min to start downloading it again. Plus with all your reviews of it...I'm not really that excited to play.

Yeah, I was asked if I was going to try the demo, but any (miniscule) amount of enthusiasm I had has evaporated! Lol I've even seen several reviews not of the game itself, but of the use of physics cards which including GRAW as it's currently the only game that supports it. And even those said it was all very disappointing...

Have any of you picked up the retail? Ive played it a little bit and I think it could be pretty good without the respawns, and team deathmatch (LMS).
Not very many familiar faces playing it yet but i know you'll all get it eventually...

I probably won't get it for awhile until it's patched with better mp gametypes and playability. Some fellas from BSR have it and more are getting it. We are even going to put a server up soon. I will post IP when it goes up, probably soon. I Have only played the demo, and think it has possibilities. But very disappointed with the release of no LMS and other items for the MP community. Beat the demo in 45 minutes and no losses on my team. Keep your eye open for the release of Crysis by Crytek later on this year or early next year. Should be better than this letdown. www.incrysis.com/The mod Obsidian Edge 2 will follow the release of Crysis.

Got it today. My older son ( WSL123 ) gave it to me for my birthday. I will give you a somewhat full report in a few days.

I've bought two copies so my son and I can both play online in the same server if we want. (Otherwise would just use a NoCD thing... in fact I do to save wear and tear on disc and drive...)
I do like the game a lot. Takes some getting used to.
The Enemy AI aren't the crack shots they are in GR1.. but they do think a lot better for themselves...
Plus I love actually blowing up cars and stuff....
