Ouch.

It's baby butt smooth currently. I think I'll be able to run AA/AF easily. It does just fine with AA/AF in CS:S.

I'm just running no AA/AF 'cause I only have 512 MB RAM right now and no AA/AF helps with the load lag a little.

I'm In! So far so good! Made it to the ****** level, where are you?

Aww man.... now I've to get the game myself

There is now a rather solid reason for me to upgrade my graphics card, of course (=

My only major complaint so far is the crosshair. So hard to aim for headshot when there's too much light behind the target

Anyways, I think a 9800 Pro/XT will be able to handle it with some AA and AF, as long as it has a good CPU and lots of RAM to back it up. My P4 @ 2.3GHz really struggles when there's a lot of physics calculations, like when something explodes and debris goes flying eveywhere.

Just like CSS...

A lot of opinion and no one's testing it ? I'm a bit disappointed actually.. I saw the earlier screenshots from the code which was stolen from their servers.. those were amazing.

None for me. Self-righteous self-trumpeting vainglorious insufferable I-pretend-I-know-it-all's have no advantage in online FP gaming.
