Yes i know we have a perfectly good pc forum but i'm being rebellious as i wish to have fairly speedy replies (on the topic) rather than the amusing two or 3 a day pc gaming recieves on CM related issues.
My basic questions are:
How good is it?
and because the back of the box has as much info on it as a sheet of bog roll, what kind of shooter is it?
Is it actually tacical played from a good stealth to action perspective (project igi), or is it one of one of those amusing yet in the end unfulfilling whilst fun shooters like doom or wolfenstein where as long as you keep your finger on the trigger you'll be ok?
thanks

I ran the demo on a decent 64mb nVidia card without too much trouble.

Actually, having just finished Wolfenstein single player, it does require some thought.

I've got to get hold of some specs. What would the graphics card need to be to run this?
64Mb?

Well, the demo is pretty good.
Stealth is definitely required, alerting the mercs to your presence doesnt just make them come after you guns-totting, they send in a gunship as well...

Looks fantastic, and the novelty features (like shooting holes in sand) are all there - but will it suffer from "XIII" syndrome? i.e. no replay value whatsoever!
From the previews i have seen i would say both.
Looks like a top quality game though!
