It runs decent frames on my computer.. at least the demo does... I picked mine up up at BB just now.. now I get to stare at it while at work for another 3.5 hours...

I run 1024x768 everything on med, with some highs and 2x AA (I think)

Well its a good thing I didnt run home and install it REAL quick... I would have totally ditched work

I totally hear you Thin_J. I just got through it using maximum speed and hiding. It was boring as hell. I think you're supposed to have saved some rockets for it, or maybe use the machine gun.

I think the suit is one of the few things spicing up this game. It's pretty fun to mess around with the AI. Only the suit energy is drained too fast I think. I will be messing with some values to see if it gets more fun when you have more energy. I think it will.

There is a hut with missile launchers near by if I remember right. I have played up to the point you get into the ship and I have never been without a trusty rocket Launcher. 2 Shot and the choppers eat dirt!

Played a bit of DM on Crysis this morning and it was fun, started to be able to do combo's with powers, the trick is to swap back to armor mode. Like Max Strength,jump while flying through the air switch to armor mode, when you hit the ground, switch to max speed run up to a person then switch to max strength.. You got about 1 shot worth of energy. But I normally leave it in armor mode and close in firing then swap to max strength before I give them a taste of the rifle butt.

Hey anyone want to get a Crysis multiplayer night going this saturday night? Goodjer Pub raid?

I had a nice moment when I was being chased by a helicoptor, and was also getting shot at by a soldier in a watch tower. I managed to hit the heli with my rocket launcher while it was just above the tower...and then on the second hit (got it on it wing), instead of blowing up right away, it dropped out of the sky, landing right on the tower, taking out the soldier. I wish I had fraps or something on at the time....

What difficulty lvl are you playing on Par? I'm playing on Delta and the AI is amazing. Patrols will sweep and clear suspicious activity, the AI will call in support, etc.

I'm surprised this game isn't getting more GWJ love, it is extremely well done.

I think I am almost near to the end now, I was worried that it would all go a bit pete tong and turn into farcry's terrible finale but I am glad to report it hasnt done that yet. Its the sort of game I can see myself coming back and playing again once I have the ability to run it on completely maxed out settings. At the moment I am running everything on medium and despite one or two irritating slowdowns at certain points , its mainly been completely playable and visually impressive. In terms of emergent war stories(tm) I have had soo many amazing moments that I am actually struggling to pick out one in particular... saying that, there was this one section where I was on a rooftop with my high precision rifle (god I love that gun) slowly tracking the movement of a kpa patrol as it moved between some buildings. I decided to take out the guy at the back of the patrol who had an assault rifle as he seemed to pose the biggest threat once everything "went hot" (the other two were carrying shotguns) I lined up the shot and fired, but missed... "crap" was my first thought, but then after the absolute perfect dramatic millisecond pause, a huge gas station that was behind the assault rifle guy (which I hadn't realised was there, it was obscured by trees) erupted into a huge firey explosion of death sauce, taking out the whole patrol... I had just enough time to admire the explosion smile as the nearby palm trees slowly fell, before from behind me I hear the crack of a flare going up as a signal for reinforcements.... On with the mission!... I can't give this game enough praise, the audio is also well worth a mention, from the general chatter from the enemy grunts, to the overaching thematic score... It really does feel like you are playing through some sort of twisted version of Predator

While its starting to get a little Xen on me right now, i love this game.

I think a lot of the non-love/hate for it is because of the whole DX10 showcase thing. A lot of people, myself included, thought it was gonna be a pretty poor game that looked fantastic, but in fact its actually an awesome game that looks fantastic.

Well, actually, on my machine it looks like crap... but if I had money for a real rig, it would probably look great.

Also, I didn't even know there was a multiplayer mode when I bought the game, and I tried it out yesterday and ended up playing for about 3 hours. I was amazed to find every weapon, all the customizations and suit powers and a ton of sweet vehicles made the transition to MP. It's kinda like a fun version of the battlefield games.

You can also fire at the side rockets on the heli's wings if you don't have rockets. It will make the heli retreat (for a while) if you at least explode one.

I also didn't find out until today that the rockets are laser-guided, and watching the missile spin around crazily trying to hit a chopper brings back all the HL2 memories...

I didn't have one. In fact I've still only found rocket launchers twice. And I never had extra ammo after use. Tanks take three shots, empty. AA vehicles take three shots, empty. And there aren't any more in the immediate area unless they were in one specific building that a tank actually drove through and destroyed.

A GWJ get together might be interesting. I haven't tried Power Struggle, because it sounds really cool, but also sounds like something that attracts jackassery to an insane degree.

Anyways, while I agree with Elysium's assessment because I thought the game did improve towards the end, although I do understand the complaints. While I had a blast, the lack of the open-ended gameplay at the endgame essentially means that the first half of the game has infinite replayability while the second half would probably be tedious a second time through. Mind you, once the modding community makes some great expansive jungle maps and sticks a bunch of Koreans there, that kind of stuff will never get old.

Well just finished it.

Loved it...

But other than that I absolutely loved it! By far my GOTY atm...

PAR

So far, the demo level seems to be the biggest I've encountered, but I'm not too far in yet.

Still, that's pretty huge.

I'm kind of hot and cold on this game. There were points where it seemed like my only option was to stealth/cloak past enemies which I really hated, and other areas where I was really feeling the "emergent" thing happening, jumping from speed to cloak to strength. I really think it's most fun when there's only about a half dozen sort of spaced out enemies to deal with, so you can really use your powers in a diverse and interesting way without facing overwhelming odds.
