The demo came out about 24 hours ago...since then it's been #1 at the game center. Anyone else playing it? The graphics are incredible and I think they've done some nice things with the gameplay.

I tried to download the demo, but at the time the link was way too slow for a 500MB+ file. Any good links to download?

I could get it to you if you have an FTP. I have a subscription to Filefront that serves me well ;)

The game is already gold. I can't say I'm having any issues running the latest omega driver for my X800. My game center has been chosen as one of 30 "Premier" game centers to feature this titile, so I'm quite stoked.

I can say that my skills with the helicopters are getting quite good.

Downloaded the demo and played a bit before work. Pretty fun, although not sure I understand the min requirements of either an FX 5700 or an Ati 8500.... those cards are over a generation apart.

I have a FX 5600 w/ 256MB RAM... the 5600 seems to be a red-headed stepchild as it is not even listed on the NVidia website any longer... While it doesnt meeth the min requirements it seems to perform well with the battelfield demo on the default settings.


I was suprised at the relatively low CPU requirements, considering they suggest a high end vid card @ a minimum, I was surprised the also suggested what I would consider a low end CPU.
