I didnt think much of it at first, but now I've learnt how to play it, I think its fun.
They need to update the graphics or something though. At least update those character models with some high poly love. Maybe I'm just spoilt by GuildWars :/.
So anyway, are we gonna have GCR guild/clan thing? not sure how to join one atm

Just got home from doing some work today, had three packages waiting for me, the Hero dvd I ordered, a wireless card, and a mystery package from a mystery shacker.
Letter, Starbucks gift card, and some random AMD and car stuff:

You will almost definitely get spammed. Make sure that you use an email address that you don't mind getting rendered useless under a mountain of herbal vi@gr@ ads.

But the real thing that sucks is the RCA cables going from my CD Deck to my amp apparently right where it connects to the amp the wires have gotten lose and the bass cuts in/out every once in a while. :(
Looks like I'll have to replace that or splice on some new ends or something.. I'll probably opt to splice on new connectors cause running the cable wasnt fun.

Hey guys I posted this like a week ago. Its a game Im working on and just about finished. Right now Im working on the lighting system and wanted to get feedback from you guys.

What to do: Load up the game, play the tutorial, run around and shoot stuff, blah blah.
-PRESS 8 IN THE GAME TO ENABLE PER-PIXEL-SHADING
-PRESS 9 IN THE GAME TO SHOW FPS
This was my first attempt at writing any kind of pixel/vertex shader. It runs and looks great on my Geforce 6800, but I tried it in a lab today on a Quadro FX1000 and it ran like poop. I played with the shader and it could only run decent with 1 light source (if anyone has experience in shaders and could answer some questions please shack msg me!). I think when I added anymore it had to do multiple passes which killed perfromance, I dunno.
So let me know what video card you have and how it runs in per-pixel mode. Also would like general feedback on how the lighting looks (too dark?). Play around with the different characters too. I particulary like the human and alien's weapon lights. Thanks!

Whats the best way to buy it? As much as I don't like Steam, I'm considering it because of the Silver package (for completeness' sake). I really only plan on playing CS:S and HL2DM and future mods excluding DoD (hate it), so I'm not even sure thats worth the extra $$$ for...
So...whats the consensus?

Ok I know it's a little late, but I'm starting to play this one. The only thing is that when I'm in battle mode, the ground textures are all black (looks like a video issue). You will still see the grass, but the ground is completely black. I tried all kind of graphic settings and nothing helped, even the recommended ones or the lowest ones.
So I went on the official forums but could not find anything pertinent. Anybody else got that issue or can help? I can post screenshots when I get home... and YES, I got the latest Cats. Maybe that's the problem? Hehe

I listened to a couple samples from the Soilwork website - they do have a pretty good sound.
I hope you have also checked out The Haunted ... both singers rule.
Also their name is awesome! Soilwork!? Lol!

I really love having the weather down in the bottom right hand corner, but.. weatherfox has this very irritating habbit of popping up with a little dialog that's always on top informing me of the weather periodically. This really sucks for games, since it makes everything stutter like an epelleptic kid at a disco for a few seconds. How can I get it to stop displaying that popup? I can't figure out which option it is (assuming one exists).
Thanks, love & huggles
