What do you guys think so far?
I have been waiting for this for 3 1/2 yrs now...and it has been worth the wait. Yes , I am a Crytek fanboy..loved Far Cry.
The only gripe I have is I have to play on low settings cuz I do not have the system for anything more right now:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (1.8GHZ Barton Core)
ATI 9800 Pro AIW (128mb/256 bit)
1GB DDR Corsair XMS Pro LED Series @400mhz
Windows XP Pro /SP2
500W PSU
7.1 Creative Gigaworks Speakers
Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum
As you can see I barely make the minimum requirements but it does play but because of the 1 gig of memory
it takes a LOOONG time to come back into Windows desktop when exiting the game. Otherwise the game play flawlessly in this setup.
I'm extremely glad and impressed that Crytek made this game to play on such a wide array of systems.
In the official message boards peeps do have issues with Vista and DX10 and some SLI setups....but a patch will probably fix that soon.
It is worth buying and it lives up to the hype but be aware of said issues above. And another plus is you won't have to deal with any DRM nightmares
like in Bioshock....

I still plan on building my next system solely for this game
