Anyways post your benchmarks, screenshots, cheers, and jeers here please.

Just did a test and I get better performance with 1 gtx570 than I do with 2. Pretty sad right there. I get about 70 average with 1 and around 50-60 with 2.

Run really smooth on my GTX 260 on hardcore settings. The graphics are amazing :o. I didn't think this would run good at all but it does. I think this demo changed my mind and I might get it now.And for some reason I got a feeling of the older Unreal Tournament games :?.

I'm getting about 35fps on advanced settings at 1920x1200 (rig below). Crossfire seems to be working for me, both my gpus are being utilized. Overall the gameplay was fun and will take some getting used to. I buying mostly for the single player and mods from community, MP is justa bonus for me.

COuld of at least given credit to the guy who posted the link in the first place. Instead just lock his thread, create your own, and take the link he found. Nice modding -_-.

Its pretty fun, but honestly it looks like ass. Blurry and fuzzy. Couldn't even tell how good the textures were because of how damn blurry everything is. I tried on all 3 different graphics modes and couldn't tell a difference, performance was exactly the same as well (which was honestly pretty good).

I felt like I was playing the gamea at 1024x768 even though I set it to 1600x900 (my moniters native res).

But other than that it was great, suit powers were loads of fun and the gunplay was super tight/hit detection right on.

My GTS 450 ran it pretty decently(24fps-30 on 1650x1050 and 1920x1080 on hardcore though :cry: )

I didn't find the gameplay particularly that fun or engaging, and it felt like COD with gimmicky suit powers and acrobatics. I've already uninstalled it :|.

I think it's alot of fun, it just needs to be 8 v 8. I noticed in the other thread ppl were complaining about only being able to use preset classes. You know you have to unlock the ability to make cutom classes right? Also you can see stealthed opponents using a visor (forgot what it's called)

I liked it, great graphics and performance, pretty fun to play too.

It's at 45-70FPS(mostly 50-60) on hardcore settings with a Athlon II X4 645, 1GB GTX 460 and DDR2 RAM. Pretty good for someone who has a decent PC.:P

Also, I got most valuable player in my 1st match.

I still looked a little blurry to me on 1080, but that's probably because I was getting like 22fps :P.

The post processing motion blur is tad overbearing, so I can see why it'd look a bit blurry. If only we could, you know, tweak the settings(hint hint Crytek)or something.

Nothing impressed me about the game.

Playing on hardcore at 1920x1080 no vsync i'm getting 50-80 fps. It looks so smooth and beautiful :D Can't wait to see what the game will be like in dx11.

Playing this at 800x600 will be a pain :P, Had to redownload file corrupted on me.

I got MVP on my 2nd match :D 9 kills, 3 deaths. The game runs amazing and i noticed little to no lag.

My original thoughts were right, consolized garbage. MATCH MAKING P2P garbage, and all that crap. I'd rather play MW2 again.JigglyWiggly_

They are dedicated servers. People in the PC forums like to whine about EVERYTHING.

What ever gave you the impression that this is P2P:?

Call me crazy, but I think I'd rather have matchmaking. 12 player limit and short matches aren't exactly fun with a server browser.

i dont know it dosent look that amazing. 40s and up with my 6870 only dipping when recording in fraps. game dosent look as good as i thought it would , but i have to say the guns look much nicer in this one

12 player limit is a downer. hope it isnt like that in the full game

Its just lazyness, sli is becoming more and more popuar. Yet why doesn't every game ship with it. But what do you expect from a demo that only dx9.

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="Elann2008"] Mkay. I think I'm going to sell my other GTX 460 now. Or perhaps both and buy a GTX 570 or 580. I'm really disappointed with the lack of sli support/scaling in games. In new games, it should be implemented.

I guess there is one simple thing in the demo which perfectly sums up the PC-Version of the Game:

"Press Start to Begin"

Good night.

And what's with the stuttering mouse controls? Apparently some people have it and some people don't. Anybody know of a fix?

[QUOTE="James161324"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] I honestly don't understand why games like that don't support SLI, it's just getting out of hands IMO. I'm hoping the full game does, hell, even the original does.

Really i didn't know that. That makes it sader. It seemed that more games were going to use it, battlefield 3 has already been confirmed by the developers and so has homefront. But Crytek a dev that was pc and crysis 1 scaled decently on sli. Just being lazy with this demo is showing the sad state of the gaming industry. Its not really the framerate that bothers me, 40+ fps is more than fine, its the lazyness of the develpers.

But most games scale on sli, not 100 percent as it should be, but a majority usually has around 50 percent scalling.

I don't see your point at all. Especially considering that the menus and gameplay feel just fine.

Its refering to how half assed the demo is. That they pretty much just took the 360 verision and threw it on the pc.

And bc2 is a crap console port, which is the funny part of it. BC2 is around a 50 percent improvement with sli.

So when Dragon Age 2 says "press any key" that means its a 360 port I'm guessing?
