I have played the Single Player Demo (looks like level one of the game) and it is totally awesome.

Suit powers are easily controlled but killing a Korean takes way too much ammo IMHO. I can see spending all Winter playing the full game and maybe be burned out on it by the time Far Cry 2 comes out.

I am running all maxed out @1920x1200 and am getting framerates in the mid 20s to low 30s but totally playable.

E6750 @ 3.9 GHz (water) 8800 GTX, 2 GB DDR2 800 RAM, Win XP

I watched a friend play the demo. Yeah, wow.
He's got a pretty hot system, and still had to play on medium. Game locked up when he jumped into the water.
Still, a lot going on. I like the fact you can pick up most anything and throw it. No more rocks, just grab a turtle!

I have dabbled a bit in the demo.

I honestly thought I was going to be disappointed but, as it turns out, the game lives up to most the hype. The visuals are amazing and the gameplay is pretty awesome.

All settings at "very high" @ 1680x1050.
8800GTX, E6600, Vista x64

I have played the demo as well and really like the game. I gotta agree with Coops though, it's another that glorifies the almighty headshot a bit too much and even shots to the head from a distance sometimes don't drop the guys.

It's kinda weird that the stun darts, picking up and tossing guys, throwing objects at them, speeding along, cloaking and leaping become more usefull than the assault rifle, especially the one you're issued.

What appears to be a knockoff of an AK, the FY71 the Koreans are using is much more accurate despite AKs being not very much so in real life. However I thoroughly enjoyed sneaking around with the shotgun in cloak mode and scaring the enemy literally into hinding in the outhouse.

Here's a pic of two of them after I found their hiding place. The one who's helmet popped off, well,...I found it laying upside down in the hole like a poo bucket! It was a two for one shot btw, or should I say a "number two." Big Grin


Here's some rather tricky off roading I did with the 4x4's. This is the first ledge heading out on the last trail. I couldn't quite make it up it though I drove up onto the ledge below it from the right and left.


I also have a couple videos I posted here:

The outtakes one has some crazy stunts exploiting the physics.

The guy doing the voice acting for Prophet (team leader) sounds like Lambert (?) from the SC series.

Crytek FTW!! Fantastic game Clap
