Install Menu & Time to install: 10

Ingame Menus:The ingame menu is horrible, plus you cant get back to the controls or settings, but the Main menu is alright.

Graphics: sub-par for these days, but the outdoor-ness is nice and there is a lot of shrubbery..and I think the water looks kinda neat (for what it is). Texture resolution was less than desirable.

Gameplay: SoF2/CStrike ..ish.

This will be the $20 title...

Just played the demo and I must say WOW! VERY impressive indeed. Excellent graphics for starters but what is really impressive is the way it submurses you in the environment. From the thick foliage to the buzzing of flies and the chirping of crickets. Excellent job so far!

my opinion, the only cool thing about this game is in fact the foliage (all this foilage) it allows for some seriously cool stealth tactics.

Ok.. I installed this and played around just single on a lan mode, havent tried MP yet.. To this point, I am actually looking forward to it. Glad I didnt blow it off with all the trolling this topic had at the start. Graphics are pretty good, the engine runs well, but above all, the map design on that one level so far is awesome. This has plenty of potential. The single player campaign may rock too..

Not sure what kind of servers I played on but the pings were pretty bad. The graphics are so-so. Pretty good sound effects. Be careful of throwing grenades from a hill. They can get stuck in the tree limbs. Seems like a low budget game to me. I wish them luck but I think I'll pass.
