1273989 2012-05-08 16:15:00 So I've just smashed it out for the last two hours. Once I got my head wrapped around the logic of Skiing, followed by the realization I have a secondary weapon (Yeah it was 2AM...) as well a frag grenade and a melee / knife ability, I was lovin it!

The Team Deathmatch was great, kill everybody but if your team has the Flag, then each kill is worth double.

The in-game system for purchasing upgrades is nifty too, you don't just "get it" when you reach a certain level, you pick and choose the items and abilities you wanna unlock which all cost XP. You can also purchase Gold Point with real money if you wanna skip away to the top in a hurry... Potentially an unfair advantage, but a good way for the game author to bring in money.

It certainly takes a bit of getting used to the Skiing, and it didn't help I played a heavy class for the first while which meant my Jetpack wasn't as 'powerful' as that of a Soldier Class (Medium), but overall I reckon I'll be keeping it!

EDIT: BTW - Shameless plug, sign up using this link and I'll get some bonus XP :D You know you wanna help me out! account.hirezstudios.com

1273990 2012-05-08 21:46:00 I gotta figure this game out. I'm playing at my TV's native resolution, and even put down my graphics settings, and turned vertical sync off etc.. But my frame rate is still sorta sucky, and my cross hair is just a tiny dot. I still have to figure out the control's too.

What are the system requirements for the game? as Call of Duty works pretty much flawlessly on my pc.

1273991 2012-05-09 00:12:00 Works fine on my HD6950 at 1920x1080 :D Chilling_Silence (9)
1273992 2012-05-09 00:25:00 Works fine on my HD4850 at 1920x1080.

I started high with the intention of lowering it to suit, Didn't need to.
