Theres something really fubar with this game:
When in a firefight with some soldiers & some buildings around etc. I get 22fps with the graphics at v-high + 8xAA AND also 25fps with all settings at LOW no AA, whilst all the time my quadcore has 1 core at 40% & the other 3 cores doing virtually nothing + the PC power consumption is the same as Vista idling (using power monitor).
They expect you to pay for something so seriously flawed that it cant be played on a high-end rig at a low resolution 1360x768 with the lowest settings in the game?
Like a patch on release date is going to fix this when they've had years!
All at LOW does not look as good as Farcry either.
Even 2 next gen 9800 cards could not play this game at >30fps.
Would you buy a car that had a top speed of 20mph because the engine was so badly designed?
No doubt someone will say mine runs smooth at 1280 high bla bla, but trying to target an enemy at 20fps is not playable & therefore the game is faulty.
I want to buy this game & play it but because they cant program as well as the guys who made the UT3 engine (which uses 4 cores at 90%) I cant.
Oh but run it in XP I hear you say, duur what? this is 2007 & DirectX10 cards have been released for a year & Bill has blackmailed everyone into buying Vista as its got DX10!
