Such a piece of shit...
I downloaded the beta from fileplanet eons ago and i was appauled by the graphics (and I'm not a graphics whore in the least bit, as long as gameplay is up to par graphics don't really bother me...to a certain extent)...
Anyways I was willing to play a game that looked like something out of the PC arsenal 6 years ago in hopes that the gameplay would be good.
However I shortly found myself plagued with graphical issues/bugs.
My ATI Card was producing around 30 frames and would completely freeze when looking at certain vectors (I wasn't the only person with this problem, many other ATI users faced this in beta)...
So I quit playing beta and waited a month or two for this demo...wah-lah! The ATI bug's STILL exist, and ID hasn't done anything about it...There have been several acclaimed third party "ATI Hotfixes" that have worked for a small portion of the ATI users facing these problems...
In short,
i think it's sad that, given the graphics, there is a large allotment of users expriencing piss poor framerates due to either a bug or piss poor optimization (There are people with 2x 512mb crossfired cards expriencing 30 FPS, so I'm assuming this is bug related).
I've been following this game and was ready to pre-order it when it was slated for a July release until I played the hideous beta...and now the demo has sealed it's fate.
