dunno, only had chance to play for 40 mins or so maj. seems alright so far, but havent got into any of the story ar decisions effecting future missions bit of it yet.
that is screesies with everything maxed, except 4xaa not 8xaa @1680x1050
did it in dx9 with hdr and bloom turned on.
i thought you couldn't even choose the max settings in dx9 :/
something to do with dx9 not supporting occlusion/parralax mapping like dx10 does. difference would be minimal ingame, but very very noticable in screenies. (rock textures at mid range, "godrays", etc.)
oops, my mistake, there are some options that can go from "very high" to "ultra high" though not all of them.
I put everything up to ultra that could, and then put it back into dx10 with 8xAA and i get an average of 31 fps in the benchmarking tool it comes with.
Of course I entered... Below are the Terms & Conditions:
"Any user of GameShadow is eligible for entry to the competition. All correct entries will be eligible for the draw on 3rd November. Winners will be notified via email by 7th October. The winners will need to claim their prize by the 12th October"
Am I mistaken or are the dates wrong? I got that newsletter about 2 hrs ago...

You guys should check out secuROM DRM that comes with it
didn't come with mine. *artful dodge*
don't get me wrong here. i buy as many games as i can, but i simply refuse to buy games with securom. securom protection basically means that you can only install the game a few times, and with the amount of upgrades and formats that i do, that'd mean i'd have to rebuy the game every month or crack it, voiding any warranty the game had.
I'm the 3rd guy, with the grey hair and moustache n stuff. Started on normal, thought it was too easy, tried Infamous, was a lil bit too tough on certain bits. Doing it Hardcore style now
As far as the graphics go on my pc (everything on medium, too bad) it still even looks quite nice. The thing though I'm very surprised of is the ridiculously low hard drive space it takes. Less then 4 gigs! while on the box it says you need 12 gig free
Now, here comes a big wall of text, talking about the game play. These are my opinions, and perhaps not all of them are entirely correct since I haven't finished the game yet, but this is what I've encountered so far. (50% on Hardcore)
First impression: Awesome! although when u play it a little bit longer imo there are some crappy things about it.
First of all, from the information I gathered from previews n movies n such, you would be able to really choose a side of the UFLL or APR. How it is? you start with the UFLL, can do missions from both sides, and still are treated indifferently. Then you murder the boss from the UFLL in the northern district (at least in my game), and still are welcomed warmly by the UFLL in the south, after u killed the APR northern boss.... Like, WTF? Then in the southern district, it goes the exact same way! As if nothing has happened in the north!
2nd, the guard posts. You can murder the entire guard post, or oasis, or whatever part or area as many times as you want, can burn it completely, shoot it into a million pieces or blow it up with a thousand explosives, if you return 10 minutes later, you will find everything in the original state.... Again, WTF?
3rd, the missions themself, and here are multiple parts. The missions from the UFLL and APR are allright, mostly different, nice objectives. However, they ALLWAYS say you are on you're own, the ppl from the faction you are doing the mission for will be hostile to you aswell as the one from the opposing faction. There is not a single mission where you have allies except from your buddies. WHY!? Again this is the problem of a side. From what i've heard before the game, i'd suggested you'd pick a side, and become an ally for that faction. Instead of that, you just are a freelancer, hostile to everybody except those in the city and you're buddies. They don't even talk to you about all the ppl you've murdered from their factions. And thats imo one of the biggest flaws in the game. Never you encounter ppl who are friendly to you, everybody shoots at you. And next to that, where are the frikkin civilians of the entire area!?!?!? Every person you encounter is either from the UFLL or APR, and if its not in the city, you will be shot (except from the underground ppl, which leads me to the next thing)
Then there are the underground missions for medicine. Any variation please? Every single underground mission is exactly the same, even the various huts have the exact same ppl in it who say the exact same thing, require the exact same thing, and give you the exact same thing to do. Go there, give the passports to them, kill the APR / UFLL peeps around their house, and ull get ur medicine. WTF? they became lazy with the thinking of missions? did they make the underground missions last? And the same is with the missions from the weapon shops. Every time its to blow up a truck from a convoy, which is said to carry a large amount of weapons which need to be destroyed. Some variation here wouldn't be harmful. Next to that, have you ever seen only a single box on those trucks? Like, what the heck are they moving anyway? Then the missions from the telephone poles. Ok, its just an assassination mission, i accept that, but some variation in how they are given. As if you are talking to a [censored] robot....
Then the last thing, and they say it to be the best part of Far Cry 2. Fire. The fire is nice, it burns, true. But why the [censored] does it go out so [censored] fast!?!?!?! Take a piece of grassland, burn it, and in no time it'll go out! You end up with a circle of charred grass. WHERE THE [censored] ARE THE SQUARE KILOMETERS OF FOREST ENGULFED IN FLAMES!? I just don't take the trouble of burning a camp to the ground to kill the ppl, just because it won't work anyway. As i just said, the fire goes out way too fast, it hardly gets to the camp and its gone already, and second, you can't see where the wind is coming from! You have to put something on fire for that in the first place. Grass always points in a direction, based on YOUR view point. It always goes to the right. So, are you looking north, the wind comes from the west. Are you looking south, the wind comes from the east. WTF?
Then there's the weapon jamming system. I like it. It's simply genius. But. The weapons you pick off from dead guys are mostly the ones that jam or go boom in your face, right? Now, have you EVER seen any of THOSE weapons jam or go boom in the hands of those guys? BIG FLAW! (imo)
Don't get me wrong, its a cool game, i like it, i keep playing it, but it could have been sooooo much more.

Welcome!
Imagine This: Going to a massive game server, where everyone knows everyone else, its all taken in a good manner and there to be enjoyed. The way Gaming should be. Thats what we do every day!
Like None Other Team MX is like no other 'clan' ever conceived, we are a team, Team MX. We're probably the largest UK clan ever, we have over 170 team members with well over 130 of them actively playing. Team MX is over a year old now, celabrating its first birthday in November last year. Headed up by the worlds biggest n00b, MoggieX and backed up by some outstanding n00blets, known as the core admins.
We don't recruit twats! Quite frankly we ain't interested in matches, or 'twats' (mainly gobby teanagers, you know the ones), if this is something you're looking for, or are, you're not in the right place at all. However, IF you are a utter n00b (like I am, MoggieX) and enjoy the 'whole' online gaming expereince, where you can make friends from all over the world, then you have found yourself a new home.
A Little More About Team MX Also quite interestingly, every Team MX member gets a limited amount of admin privilages, its been the norm for people to pay for such rights, here you get them free and you can also feel at ease that there is only small group of admins, the core admins that have the access to any player abuse commands. So you can play in realtive safety, knowing that the server you're on is patrolled by an army of admins. We have members from the ages of 9 to well past retirement, probably with an average age twice that of other clans, a prime example that this is no ordinary clan.
Joining Team MX We don't let just any old person join, you have to prove yourself over a long period of time. If you're turning up here thinking you're going to join us in a few days, you're sorely mistaken. In most cases it takes over a month to be recruited and thats just the lucky ones! People (not players) rarely leave Team MX, if they do, we never really seem to get rid of them, lol.
