Oh its very true.
, had this confirmed myself. I was already in the "friends and family" beta then THQ screwed something up and all hell broke loose and every man and his dog had the original buggy ass client.

the graphics do look a little dated but its the gameplay im looking forward too. What settings were you playing at cause it looked like you didnt have the AA on all the pics and i bet you got some settings on meduim cause the game cant look that dated.
Cheers for the pics

errr I didn't have anything on medium and they arnt all my shots ( three are ) all of them are maxed out though , as for the AA i have no idea. Many people cant get AA working with HDR in the game. The game is supposed to look like that , as we have said before it is also based on an OLD version. Nobody has said to me yet you must have it on medium it cant look that dated.
But thats the sort of response you get on ocuk

KNOWN ISSUES
Server
• Console does not output to a file: The server outputs to the screen rather than to a file so errors are lost if you are not watching the server window when it happens.
• All the server options such as weather effects, voting, etc. are only configurable on the start line for the server. This is not accessible in a GSP environment for security reasons and hence user configurable options such as this should be held in a server “configuration” file.
• Server options such as weather effects and voting are only configurable on the start line for the server.
• Version number is not currently being displayed in the server.
• 32 player servers are currently less stable than 16.
Client
General
• Using dynamic lighting seriously impacts performance on older hardware: in order to achieve 100+ FPS set to Static Lighting in video options; if you have really powerful PC Intel Core2 Duo/AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2 MB RAM nVidia Geforce 7900/ATI Radeon X1950/256 MB/DirectX 9c - you can set Full Dynamic Lighting.
• Server names are forced into lowercase.
• No option to filter by gametype, server name, map, etc.
• Sort by ping doesn’t work correctly.
• Browser uses a font which only displays up to 24 chars at default resolution.
• Version number is not currently being displayed in the game client.
• The game will crash when selecting a map, then clicking the left arrow, then the right arrow on the map selection screen.
• The game will crash when the user disconnects from a game and then joins/hosts another game from the Main Menu without quitting and re-launching the game first.
• The game will crash when a player is killed within 5 seconds or so of spawning in an internet game (does not occur on LAN).
• The game will crash when a player picks up the dropped backpack or gun of a player that was killed and then whose game crashed (this also happens when shooting a crashed player).
• The game will crash when more people than there are spawn points get killed and try to spawn in at the same time.
• In Artifact Hunt mode, most players on the Mercs team are unable to enter the buy menu on the railroad map and therefore are unable to buy any weapons other than the default pistol.
• When the user clicks the sell back all button on the in-game buy menu, all weapons disappear from the buy menu and the user is unable to leave the buy menu.
• Once a decent amount of people obtained rocket launchers and grenade launchers, crashes became very frequent from all of the explosions.
• When Hosting games on DSL all players except the Host will experience loss of packets and animation when the ping reaches 100ms to 150ms. Thus making the game unplayable.
• When hosting internet games on DSL, the game is unplayable even with just two people on a dedicated server. Weapon switching takes about 2 seconds. It takes about 3-5 seconds for a shot to be fired after the left mouse button is pressed. Players seem to teleport around as they move when watched by another player.
• Players are able to get out of the game world on the Yantar factory map.
CDkey
• Dedicated game servers should not validate its own CDkey.
• When a CDkey is invalid, the player is returned to the main menu without receiving an error message.
• When a CDkey is already in use, the player is returned to the main menu without receiving an error message
• When a CDkey is disabled, the player is returned to the main menu without receiving an error message.
Server Browsing
• The “Check CD-key” value needs to be removed from the “Options” screen.
• “Server list” information is not always correct & the “Server Info” and “Server Properties” values do not correctly reflect changes made by the host.
• Players returned to the main menu after entering an incorrect password & do not receive an error message.
General
• The user is unable to bind the right click/secondary mouse button or the middle mouse for alternate key mappings.
• If the vision distance is set to the Lowest setting the user is unable to see farther than a meter and the rest appears as sky texture.

It looks gritty but i don't think it looks dated in the slightest. Looks fantastic to me. Ok it is not as shiny or detailed as Crysis, but that is still many mon ths away and is on a much newer engine. It looks far more realistic than anything i have seen come out of the UE3. Not as WOW but then it is not meant to be. Unreal engines have always been good for the bulky, sci-fi type setting but never so much suited to gritty, life-like look.
I need my stupid RMA card back so i can play this!! Get a shift on OcUK!

just watched the video i take it back about the graphics being average they look really nice and the gameplay is getting even more interesting, its also got a bit of stealth play in it so now we got a greater choice.
Do you want to talk your way past that group of stalkers, or run and gun or even knife they silently one at a time
