I played a little DM and TDM both off- and online last night and did okay I think but it did feel pretty frantic. Is it just me that is getting old or is the default gamespeed pretty high compared to UT? As for graphics I found them pretty good but with the pace of the game it is pretty much a waste since it's not like there is time to take in the view:-) My machine struggles in the first couple of seconds after loading a new map and I'm guessing it's some sort of memorycache that needs to be filled or something and that is whit the default level of detail but with the resolution raised to 1920x1200. (P4HT 3Ghz, 2 GB ram, Radeon 1900XTX). Is there a way to do a timedemo so we could compare performance and find out how important CPU, memory and so on is? The GUI I don't like. It may be more user friendly with it's limited amount of options but I much prefer the drop down menues of old. It was faster and gave a better overview of all things. Also while gaming it seems there are some problems where the scoreboard is not displayed when you're fragged and at end game it's does not always show and if it does one can't see the typed messages from players. I will most likely buy the game for my PC when released but I'm still thinking the odds is really that it will just rekindle my UT appetite so in effect it will just make me play UT againg :-) Kind regards Bruno aka Cool.DK
