I'm going to have to educate you on some of the terminology which you might hear in the game:

The Veld - The bush
A Koppie - A small hill

Can't think of any others...but its late.

Wow, this looks nice. The environmental interactivity is way up there, although I'll be interested to see how close they can get to Crysis on that front.

Also, Ubisoft really know how to put together trailers these days.

Wow - that trailer is fantastic. I love the Ubisoft logo implying the setting sun.

FPS fans don't get turned on by watching animations of reloading though - it makes us worry that we'll spend more time running backwards waiting for our gun to shoot, than actually shooting.

I really hate my self for even thinking about this; but a white (I'm aware you can choose from a number of different characters in-game, to play with... but still) merc dwelling in the depths of black Africa, shooting and blowing up mainly natives?

I hope I'm just sooo WAY off with this one, and no one will pick it up as a "white supremacist imperialism whatnot" issue. But do you guys think there's even a slightest chance it migh happen?

Personally, I was not overly enthusiastic about this game till seeing the Shack trailer and this footage. I'm getting a pretty strong STALKER vibe from this game, which has me a bit giddy :)

Looks nice and all, but I still have a nasty feeling that it'll get ruined by StarForce, SecuROM activation, or something more sinister. We won't know until after Ubisoft corporate gets their dirty hands on the released product.
