The front page of the Wargamer is bad enough with all those banners and flash ads, please don't do it here as well. Clear their desk, clear their house, clear everything they've got then tell them to clear out.

BTW, for anyone else - the full demo is out now. I'm 23% finished downloading from Gamershell. Can't wait to give it a whirl [ ] I am the Ancien Regime

destraex Global Moderator Posts : 6183 Joined: 8 MAY 2001 Location: AT, 3D Status : Offline	I meant, does it need a Dx10 supported card. How could the demo come with dx10? I thought only Vista had dx10 inbuilt and no other Os was allowed to have it. Medieval Real Time, Mount and Blade style Historical Combat.

I thought only Vista had dx10 inbuilt and no other Os was allowed to have it. It runs in dx9 automatically if you run it in XP. It defaults to dx10 if you start it in Vista, but you can add a parameter to the .exe and it will run in dx9.

Qualm Centurion Posts : 395 Joined: 17 JUL 2005 Status : Offline	My advice would be to play it on at least Medium difficulty, if not Hard. Otherwise the demo is going to feel very, very short. This game will finally push me to upgrade - 7600GT, 1gb ram, and Pentium D 920 can do low settings only, and the higher settings screenshots all over the web now are making me super envious.

Slim Centurion Posts : 284 Joined: 8 AUG 2005 Status : Offline	Geez, I tried to play but I guess my PC isn't up to it. All of the settings had to be on low and I wasn't getting any sound..which made playing a bit difficult. It's too bad b/c I loved Far Cry.

destraex Global Moderator Posts : 6183 Joined: 8 MAY 2001 Location: AT, 3D Status : Offline	played it, it looks pretty but is almost the same as farcry. Very nice but very boring quickly. I like it, its smooth, its got some nifty features like the biosuite, but apart from that, just nothing special. Its farcry2, which was not a bad game. Farcry always seemed to have such a small environment to play in.... unlike Armed Assault which I think is my favorite FPS these days Oh and I should mention the COD4 demo, its a pleasure to play. Lots of fun. I love the feeling of the weapons, unlike most FPS games it feels like you can actually hit things at point blank, without emptying a whole mag.

bogaty Centurion Posts : 425 Joined: 16 MAR 2007 Status : Online	I rather enjoyed it although I wasn't expecting to based upon what I'd seen from the preview videos. I thought it would be a bunch of gimmicky puzzle based mini-levels designed around the suit, but the demo isn't like that at all. I agree that it does seem like FarCry2, but in my opinion, that's no bad thing. I thought Far Cry was one of the top-tier action FPS games out there. Much better than the linear COD4.

destraex Global Moderator Posts : 6183 Joined: 8 MAY 2001 Location: AT, 3D Status : Offline	I am more excited about COD4 because it seems to fit well into a good multiplayer game. The cod1 and 2 were very good fun and the weapons always packed a satisfying punch. Medieval Real Time, Mount and Blade style Historical Combat.

I played the demo yesterday - the only issue I had was with sound, which can probably be tweaked - some of the audio clips got cut short for some weird reason. Plays like an improved Far Cry. Looks like a real winner. I am the Ancien Regime
