bye bye BF2 ..there is a new generation of games comming ... starting with crysis..and it is a great game ..start to get use to it .

Thing I noticed, my native res is 1680x1050, and some games, like bioshock. I could lower my res to 1440x900, and gain about 15 or more frames. Crysis does not seem to do much, I gained around 2 frames from lowering my res.

Try going through the demo on delta limiting yourself to only fists, throwing, and a laser attached pistol. Now THAT is fun!

The best was picking up a dude inside a toilet while punching the other guy inside the toilet, then whipping around and throwing the first guy you picked up into the guy that was fixing the car, and then mercilessly beating the crap out of the car fixer because he managed to survive it.

If you come up on 2 guys, its also a good idea to have your laser attached pistol equipped. Cloak, sneak up on the guy in the back, pick him up and then pistol the other in the back of the head while holding the first guy. Its nice to finally have a game where a laser attachment is actually very useful.

Ack. I can barely run the demo (all low settings and 800x600). Framerates drop to a nice 5 fps during engagements.

You must have a really old computer or something. I think its time to do an upgrade. If you get 5fps at 800*600 thats just sick, I feel sorry for you as its a great game even on lower graphics settings.

I can run everything at Very high-minus post processing and 4XAA and its smooth as can be, this is at 1280x1024 resolution

**Zoopy** · 10-29-2007, 09:14 AM

I run everything on very high at 1920X1200 at like 20FPS... makes me sad

That's the first thing I did when I played the game, switched to Maximum Strength, leaped over a group of enemies and just pounded them to death. It didn't work so well when the boat was shooting me.

Wow, I didn't see that one coming and I was even standing one mile away.

**Snail88** · 10-29-2007, 05:52 PM

obvious or not, its still great to finally hear it after a long development

**Red** · 10-29-2007, 06:22 PM

Great they will have 2 weeks of prep time, so availability should hopefully be good.

**DirtyLude** · 10-29-2007, 06:34 PM

Like someone else mentioned, the more I play this demo, the more I like it. I've gone through the demo start to finish about 4 times now, and I have a feeling others here have done it more times than that.

The latest nVidia drivers put out specifically for the demo make all the flashlights omnidirectional for some reason. The flashlight on weapons look like little suns rather than beams.

**jmaker** · 10-29-2007, 07:03 PM

Yeah same here Dirty Lude, I think I've played through the demo about 3 times now. Great news to hear that the game has gone gold. It's been a long time coming and now the game is finally on our doorsteps. Two weeks from Friday can not come soon enough.

**UnDeaD** · 10-29-2007, 08:10 PM

Played it through 20 times, editing the config files. Changed the speed multiplier and extra strength.
