I just picked the game up today, and all I can say is WOW. I also picked up an ATI Radeon 9800 pro, but I’ll get to that in a minute. The game is simply spectacular. The sound effects (mainly the weapon sounds) are very well done. The Graphics are SPECTACUALR, and the physics are second to none. The AI is also pretty decent, and the view distance is quite amazing (no “fog” or distance “hazing”). I have yet to venture online to test out he Multiplayer, but that’s not why I really purchased the game. Now to the Radeon 9800 pro. I have an AMD Athlon 2500+ with 1gb of RAM. I also had a NVIDIA gForce 4 Ti 4200 8x 128. I’ve been wanting to upgrade for a while now and decided that today was the day. However, I did a little test before I installed the 9800. I played for a bit with my Ti, and everything ran smoothly and I did not notice any framing. The only things that were noticeably different were the water and the reflections/intense lighting, but it was still VERY playable. How different is it? With a non-DX9 hardware supported Graphics card, the water is a little too “milky”. It’s also not nearly as crisp or clear. I would not suggest trying to play this game with anything below a GF4 Ti4200 or R9000pro. Check the following article on Tom’s Hardware to see where you graphics card rates: http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20031229/index.html. If you are worried about how your system will perform, here is a decent benchmark. If you AquaMark3 benchmark is around 15758 (CPU: 6154, GFX: 1818) or higher, then you will be just fine. If your 3DMark03 score is around 1500, then you should be ok too. If you are still worried that your card will not perform well, simply download and play the demo. Now….. When I say “OK”, I mean that the game will run with everything around medium. Just let the game query you system and set everything for you. Once you do that, then start tweaking. Bottom line…. This is one of the best FPS out there as far a single player action goes, and that’s what I enjoy. This score is based on the SINGLE player side of the game. I have tested the MP maps and they are quite impressive. Plenty of cover, water and rolling terrain. Can’t wait to give MP a whirl….
