What a SLICK graphics engine -- this game runs VERY VERY nicely at 1280 x 1024 with everything whacked right up on my Radeon 9600(Pro++)!!
Ok the visuals dont quite match the heavy weight graphical trickery of Halo or Far Cry, but the're still a pleasure to look especially when everything is moving around so smoothly.
Now I saw this game in a shop and impulsively bought it - remembering that for a couple of years PC format and people have gone to ECT and E3 and come back praising this game - and yet its crept silently onto the game shelves with very little hype around its launch -> not a mention in any of the big PC mags over the last 2 months (as far as Im aware)... dammit not even IGN and their rushed reviews have reviewed it (yet).
Is it because CDV and Brat Designs are little known developers and publishers??
Dammit its such a good game....

My God, that demo was quite possibly the most vile thing to ever be on my PC.

The demo's where terrible, naff graphics, abysmal AI, deeply repetitive mission structure and voice overs that go so annoying they made me want to go out and hurt people, preferably the developers. I think I'll stick with Battlefield Vietnam and UT 2004.
