Gah - more achievement issues:
Last night I got the "passive aggressive" achievement (3 kills with one sentry bot; dead easy) - appeared in the steam list etc. A couple of hours later I noticed that I couldn't get any other achievements, so I restarted Steam. I could get other achievements, but "passive aggressive" was gone from the list, and would not re-activate
I took a sentry bot down into the sewers near Wellspring and cleared out almost 20 with it (no shots from me), but it won't activate.
Anyone else had anything similar to this?!

PC users seem to be having by far the more issues with it than with compared to the console versions.
A lot of the time, the textures look great. But other times, often indoors or close up, the textures are extremely low quality. I don't think that is a PC-specific issue, but it's more noticeable to PC users who generally expect higher-quality visuals. The texture-popping and other graphics-related issues seems to be PC-specific, but not the texture quality.

Put aside the ati and dual core problems and i think people are just demanding too much from this game.
It seems to be designed quite differently from other games and actually needs a bit of overhead buffer to stop these problems like stuttering and texture popping.
Personally thats why i think this cap of 60fps is there.
Well, pretty much finished with this game, it had flashes of pure brilliance in places, then other places just a horrid mess. The textures from afar looked amazing and seamless – the tech is there but boy did this game look ugly in places… and get ugly real fast when you were upclose in tunnels etc.. Races were for one part the best looking graphics..
It ran surprisingly well on even modest hardware, my ATI laptop GPU didn’t seem to struggle too much with it in the end, was a chore to get it up and running however was it worth it..?? I think it was to actually see what the fuss was about, the gunfire in the game was spot on, guns felt heavy had good action to them and the game overall was enjoyable if somewhat predicable in places. It was without doubt the lamest story ever, but that’s id software for you… Quake – Strogg?? Need I say more?
It was if anything typical id, and apart from the low res textures and ugly graphics up close and rather lame story and boring parts to the game, it is classic FPS and its enjoyable but sadly unlike Quake – easily forgettable other then you’ll remember it for having excellent looking sky – that never moves lol and great open spaces but ugly up close..
Rather like a super model. Looks fantastic in glossy, strip away the makeup and airbrushes and you’re left with a rather thin and blotchy girl which is rather bland and nothing special..

Textures look absolutely fine if your playing on a console 6+foot away from the TV but on the PC people tend to be a good bit closer and have higher resolution/better quality panels.
Problem is the idea with the engine is you can go upto any point as you develop a level and just start drawing onto the surface of the level anywhere with any kinda image but it quickly eats up a lot of memory and hence the texture lump gets crunched down to a more manageable size for release - as it is theres well over 10gigs of textures in there.

Just got to subway city, 7 and a half hours in. Clearing out Blue Line Station(?) and using the shotgun which is probably one of my favourite weapons ever tbh. Playing through this bit and the shotgun in particular reminds me of one of my favourite games ever- Timesplitters 2, the shotgun in that was immense as well!
How long would you say i have left? as i feel the game should just be starting tbh. It is ok but it should be so much better.

If it locks at the start (after clicking on the icon to boot it) then the solution may be the same as mine was, as a helpfull soul on here (sorry forgot who it was) pointed out to disable tripple buffering in CCC. worked for me and the game now loads, although it's still practically unplayable. My system (see sig) seems to handle every other game fine (even witcher 2) but this one gives me massive frame rate drops (not sure how low but i compare it to a slideshow) in any combat situation, indoors or out. so the game is sat collecting dust for me till they fix it.
But try taking off tripple buffering and if its same problem as mine was it should load up.

just played this with a friend on coop. its a real laugh. hope they bring out more dlc for coop.
Because this game just keeps giving.
Mmmkay, restarted steam twice, working again.
Why is the sniper rifle so crap?
On heavier targets and even not so heavy targets you often need to hit them TWICE in the head.
No wonder I prefer to use a scoped pistol with explosive Fat Momma bullets. The number of enemies that can survive a headshot from that are extremely small even semi-bosses.
