I beat it. Talk about anti-climatic and to be perfectly honest, I expected a lot more content.
I'm not sure about limbs falling off but on the heavily armored dudes, you can take armor plates off of their limbs. I've blown many heads off--too many to count. Headshots defintely do the most damage. The problem is, on normal difficulty, the guns capable of getting headshots (namely the pistol) has weak bullets so it takes too hits to kill. That's compared to 4+ everywhere else. Once you have Fat Boy rounds, it will kill most un-armored, un-heavy units with a single headshot. Armored takes two (one to knock off the helmet, another to kill). Heavy units take at least 6 headshots (I think 4 for the armor, 2 at the head).

qUAKE 1 and 2 WILL NEVER COME BACK.... Today I watched Rage being played in a Fnac shop and it was dull, dull, dull. Do ID still make their worlds out of a black cube (those that KNOW will understand)

You done trolling? I think it will be great when the bugs are gone.

What bugs are you still getting? It's been perfect for me now and I'm really liking the game.

I can't get past the Mutant Tv episode and it zone freezes non stop. It works good with the new config file just can't get it to stop freezing. I took a look on the Support forums and it seems alot of people are stuck on that mission.

I had a freeze-up there on the loading screen. I just ctrl+alt+deleted, shut Rage down. Restarted and the save was there. Started right back up and it worked.

Is it when you get on the elevator to leave in "The Re-Run?" I got 3 consecutive crashes there and all I did on the last go was wait extra long to let the "sponsors" message finish before approaching the elevator room. Basically, get 4/4 then go to the bathroom, grab a drink, etc. and when you come back, head for the elevator. Hopefully it will work.

Revenge, you do not understand. I am really monitoring this game and holding my pocket. If I let go, I will purchase. So I am just finding reasons to not buy it.
I have always liked the id engines, and even their games at the beginning were cool. Same goes for Unreal engine. Unconsciously I really wish some of you that play it make me go and get it

It was only about 20 hours on Normal doing everything I could see to do. Most "side quests" involve playing through a previous stage again (e.g. first time you play through it, you're trying to reach a refuse pile with a bunch of goodies; second time you kill 10-20 hostiles to "clean up" the area).
I guess I could sum it up in as little as this: Reason to buy: The mechanics. The combat is fluid and fun. The enemies are challenging. The driving is good when you do it. Reason not to buy: Everything else. If you're not in the market to mostly shoot shit up, look elsewhere. Specifically, the story is blah, the repetition is repetitive, the money in the game is so rare it becomes an annoyance (I never hit $3,000), the world isn't fully explorable--basically just driving between objectives, there's no mini-map in missions, too many ammunition types and too few upgrades to weapons, there's no choices in the game beyond doing and not doing--no major consequences, zero RPG elements, and visually glitchy (requires patching). As for glitches, I've seen many characters rapidly (as in flashing) switch between a combat and normal stance, especially during conversations (very annoying). The game has crashed many times. Alt+tab isn't supported, have to ctrl+alt+del to bring the game out of full-screen. The framerates are low in some spots (especially rapidly turning) which messed up my accuracy. Audio occassionally glitched (probably caused by frame rates). To sum it up in one sentence: they focused too much on graphics and not enough on content.

And the second catalyst Rage drivers. No more crashes, no more flickering, no more texture pop-in. Works like it should have out of the box. Try backing up and renaming the rageconfig file and try using those console commands, see if it makes any difference for you. The +vt_maxPPF 64 seems to have made a huge difference with the megatexture streaming. Your system is better than mine, you should have no problems with the settings I posted. Quote:

My conclusions were based on the single player campaign alone. Knowing ID, it's probably great in multiplayer.

Well the latest ATi drivers and running similar launch parameters as techtard, I don't have any texture pop in or tearing but I do have some slight pausing every so often. It's annoying but it'll do for now.
I'm enjoying the game however, really like it.
