Are you on an ATI card?
I am hearing that like 90% of the people with ATI cards have problems with this game.
But my thoughts on this game.. seems to be a mixed bag.
Generally speaking, the game is gorgeous. The water is unbelievably nice, the environment is there, and very lush.
Lots of characters, with some diversity...
But when I look more closely there are tons of problems. One time there was a dead body in front of me, and I backed up while still looking at it, and it instantly turns from a white soldier to a black soldier. Then I walked back forward, and it went back to a white soldier. Some evident problems with the LoD.
The AI, seems nice at times, but other times is downright stupid.
Sometimes I can just walk RIGHT up a soldier when hes looking at me, and not do a thing.
Sometimes when there are groups of soldiers all talking to each other, and I snipe one of them, the others just stand there and do nothing.
Of course there are other times when the AI works, and very nicely, but as a whole it seems to be half-screwed.
Not to mention all the things the enemies yell at you.. I dont think I've ever laughed so much in a game.
I hear some of them yelling something like, "I'm gonna get you mofo"
And other ridiculously stupid things to yell...
Maybe its what the german developers think that americans say all the time.. I have no idea.
I doubt anyone would say such stupid things when under attack...
The physics is very fun though. Best experience so far is when a soldier called in for backup, which came in a helicopter. And there was a soldier shooting at me in the helicopter, so I shot a rocket at it, and the soldier flew out of it, and landed on a banked hill and rolled all the way down.
Lots of fun with those sort of things, but still I think there could be a lot more interactivity.
Like why can you push this box, but you cant push this chair...
Overall, the game is interesting, but lacking in many areas.
And I get probably around 15 FPS at low-medium settings on my 2 ghz, 512 rd-ram, and GF3 64 mb machine...
But then, I like the concept of hardware having to catch up with games... rather than the other way around, which WAS a major problem with games.
