That was a waste of bandwidth. It ran like ****. Still needs opimizations for the game's engine. I thought it would be much better.

i thought it was fun but you're right, it ran like hell.
i have really mixed feelings about this one.
is it just me or does it feel... old? like a first person shooter we wouldve played years ago but they dusted it off and added things like hdr to the mix.
it just doesnt reek of quality does it? however all things considered, the big battles rocked.

Yeah, there were some god moments, but there is still work to be done. For crying out loud, Far Cry, HL2, and Doom3 run much better then this and they look better too.

...DID YOU SEE THE SYSTEM requirements?!


3ghz cpu recommended! I gig of ram........and the graphic cards.....

I downloaded it, it ran fine on my system, fun game, cheap looking landscape they could have done better, but its only a few mins of a demo. maybe the finished product will be slightly better

God i hope so.
so much potential.
i think the gameplay is awesome, the carnage and legions of enemies is really great, it just looks cheap and runs terrible.
i also hope they don't release it as unpolished as it was.
for instance, bugs wouldnt chase me to far, after awhile they'd stop and run in circles (particularly in the tunnel), also, my "unlimited supply of plasma grenades" stopped replinishing halfway through.
and i'd really appreciate it if they'd let us use our entire mouse (my side buttons wouldnt register).
if they just tighten it up and improve quality/performance i think it'll be flippen fantastic, i'm just not sure how much they can do given it's due date the end of this month.
i certainly wouldnt dare release the game as is, it's just of poor quality.

Yeah i can not agree more!
Shooting is a pain in the neck.....the grahpics are well.....very yesterday.
Jerky shooting, jerky monsters, because it is difficult to aim it takes a million rounds to take down one critter! So if there are 3-4 of them.....forget it.

I think they need ALOT more time!
