First person shooter.
Some of my friends at Red-Eye Lan have downloaded it and say it's very interesting.

bah i can't get it to play. Game loads almost all the way and locks. Anyone else have any problems. That and while its loading it takes forever and a day i swear. I thought maps on BF1942 loaded slow. Oh well i'll mess with it tomorrow. For now i'm gonna go catch some shut eye.

It's definately worth downloading the demo and playing all the way thru, I was pretty impressed by it for such a "low hype" game...

Getting initial loading times of about 30 seconds. The game does seems to be a pig though. I get the "rubber band" effect a lot. Moving along very smoothly and then hesitates for a fraction of a sec and then snaps up to the current frame.
Maybe I need more memory as DC in the chopper does that too. Not sure what causes that. anyone? Also I hate check point saves as it discourages exploring expirimenting which I like to do. But not bad at all for for a low hype game as Tunis said. This game might turn out to be a big hit.
Without getting to far into it, ya I say its worth checking out fur shur. Im up to where the tilt-rotor comes in above..

by whatever
well, I have a gig of memory and it ran fairly choppy for me no matter what I put the settings on. I thought it was pretty lame. AI wasnt anything to get wet over, graphics are pretty good but nothing revolutionary.
dont see what the big deal is personally.

There's a beta leaked for this game with functioning multiplayer (only 2 maps)...

Looks AWESOME. A little sluggish at 1024x768 medium settings on my AMD 2400 w/Radeon 9800, but playable.
HOWEVER, I don't like the save point bullshit. If you can't save anywhere in the game, I ain't buying it.

I love this demo. Especially when combined with the new modifications that allow you to explore the entire island.
I don't see how anyone could not like this game and the potential it brings. I was getting pretty bored with FPS in general, but this one, along with its engine, has me anticipating its release just as much as Half-Life 2.
