As there's a 1990 in your name, I'm guessing that's when you were born.

As I grew up, shooters like Wolfenstien, Doom, Goldeneye, Half life and Quake revolutionized the FPS. Halo did at a time too, then it stagnated, which is evident in H3. Now they all stagnate, so it's hard to look at any modern day example as "the best".

It must be hard for new gamers growing up on Halo and COD, their standards as they see them would be incredibly high, yet in reality in comparison to everything else, are amazingly low. That's why COD sells so well I guess.

No no, I love reading. I just dont want to apply Submita 'fix' that doesnt directly relate to the problem im having with one specific game.

I bought World in Conflict today for my laptop. I meet the specs, Vista + 4gb ram + GF 7950 etc. It runs fine with everything on high. After about 30 mins though it says I dont have enough memory.

4GB isnt enough? Do you know why this might be happening?
