I am a nerd..it is true! HAHA Anyways, bought this game yesterday and it is freaking amazing. Haven't tried the multi-player yet, but it is supposed to be awesome. Just wondering if anyone else has had a chance to see this game in action.

You also better have a beast of a maching to run it...requires 1 gb RAM for XP and 2gb RAM for vista...I have 4gb, so I made it....also needs 12gb of your harddrive. Also, a mean graphics card is a must.

Rhawn, it will blow you away....it is a 100% new engine developed just for this game. I have a gforce 8800 GT and have all the settings turned up and runs so smooth. More RAM the better imo.

my name is dpierce37 on the game if you ever find me...duh! HAHA

Dp, did you ever get 2142? Still a damn good game. I might have to check out this as well. I wish you could rent PC games, because playing a demo rarely ever gives you the full experience of a game.

Is it the Crysis engine? Same company if I remember right.

I played 2142 for a while, it was aight. I played BF2 for ages, what a game. I hear BF3 is in the works.

wakeboarderdave1, no, did not get it. I think I will wait to see if this BF 3 comes out.


Rhawn, no crysis is a different company and engine. The developer for crysis is Crytek and the FC2 developer is Ubisoft . However, crytek was the developer for the original FC.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_cry_2


Quote:
The engine takes advantage of multi-core processors as well as multiple processors and supports DirectX 9 as well as DirectX 10.[25] Only 2 or 3 percent of the original CryEngine code is re-used, according to Michiel Verheijdt, Senior Product Manager for Ubisoft Netherlands. Additionally, the engine is less hardware-demanding than CryEngine 2, the engine used in Crysis.[26]

Yeah I'm ready to see what the new BF 3 is going to look like. Hopefully it comes out sometime this year! Sure as hell isn't a whole lot of info out about it, but there is this website.

I got my vid card into today. Freaking thing is a BRICK. I quickly realized that I didn't have the 500W power supply that's required. BOOOO. NewEgg has a deal on a 700W that I ordered. Building gaming rigs is a PITA.
