      It's been stuck at like 200-300k/s on steam for me. So glad I waited for a sale, though.

      You may want to restart Steam if your Crysis download is slow. I just did and my download speed went from ~150K/s to ~1.5M/s.

      You should try switching to the south American or greenland/Finland steam content server.

        I've played about 10 matches so far.

        Overall it is a beta for sure. There is a lot of potential to this game. The sound effects are nice when they work. I noticed that sometimes there were no sounds for lasers, player movement and other stuff. The enviroments were neat but some times tricky to navigate with a lot of clipping issues. Some trees I could plow down with my tank and other times, a little hill would flip him over. I felt a lot of times that my weapons were not really having that much effect. Getting a joystick to work is like rocket science sometimes. Be prepared to invest serious time to get a configuration that will work for you. The graphics are good, definatly better than previous Mech games but no where close to Crysis itself. I eagerly await future versions of this game and really hope for a single player campaign. Multiplayer is definatly the better ping wins.

      I'm almost half-way through with the Crysis download. I'll ask Steam to give the bandwidth I was using to you when it's done.

      Is there a mirror for MMLL download? they've exceeded their bandwidth and I can't get to their page.

        it helps to ask your teammates where the action is, they'll usually provide a grid location and you can head there. Or just watch the horizon for mushroom clouds - twice tonight I asked where shit was going down only to see a huge mushroom cloud on the horizon seconds after I asked.

      Anyone played Crysis with an older machine (more towards the min reqs)? I love me some Mechwarrior but I don't know if it's worth trying on my rig.
