I have bought his for 50euros but it came with Metro 2033 so i think its worth it.
If you want to view some more info about the game look on steam and click watch all videos there are quite a few.

My game on max settings. I checked the .ini file and it had D3D10 enabled, but I don't know if that is to enable Directx 11. I heard the game only runs in DX 9 and 11. But anywho's here are my pics...The game is well worth it, the multiplayer is insane. (COD + BFC2 = EPIC WIN)

I am really happy with the developers. They did a great job...My crossfire 5850 handles this game with out any problems at all. Everything was an ease to install and play. My avg FPS is 60-120

This game has better graphics than Modern Warfare

5/5

59% :p


Sending this from IE9: it reminded my TPU password without IE8 doing so and without having to write it once! ?! LOL

Ontopic: people with 5770 and other garbage are complaining bout performance... this game (PC) IS grafix intensive! (some say, IS unoptimized also hehe)

Maybe there will be a sync with Unreal 3 DX11 stuff?

Those PC screens look better than the 360 version. I hope the update for the PC versions improves things also (like the problems within MP). but I doubt it will change the fact that the SP campaign is only 4-4.5 hrs long :(

Tempted to pick it up, but probably will wait for some reviews and maybe a sale in a few months, it does look promising though.

Don't play it in 'amateur' mode then! ;) (just poking)
that is easy to fix.
Many say they love MP, so again, you give an opinion not really based on an argumentation.

Recoil: I don't know, but the mouse-gods that dominate in most MP will not die and disapear forever suddenly (would be nice!), with or without recoil.

Then we have absolutly stupid game abortions like Counterstrike (kill while bunnyhopping at 500 meter distance) that have a huge following. I play Darkest Hour, it has 5 servers worldwide and maybe 60 regulars. Enough for me to have great evenings. So popularity means less than a dogs shit to me. 8)

My opinion is that the MP sucks as it stands. I could go into detail, but I think I will let you find out for yourself :D

Homefront is a good game that could have been great :( Some will lap it up anyway, of course.

For the high price tag, short SP and poor MP (compared to CoD, Battlefield etc), I give it a 6.5/10

It won't take me long to pick it up, I'm a quick learner :)

I don't know if I would be getting this game for MP that much either way. It looks ok, but after being able to destroy buildings, it's hard to play other things.

Same here man i want my own opinion :cool:

Best to, you may love it. The SP was enjoyable, but VERY short. FFS, 4 and a half hours from start to end! Thats pathetic!!!

THQ and Kaos are obviously hoping that this game is a success and leads to numerous sequels. Hence it feeling like you are only playing half of a game............but paying a full price :mad:

Some early reviews are up, but i can't view them at work. What do they say?
