Yup this games is a real power hog!

Why?  Voxels!  What the hell are Voxels?  They are multi-dimensional
polygons rendered in software mode.  They give you those really pretty
lanscapes that run forever but man do they eat up the power.

We are running it on a P3-733 and it's kinda slow.

How to speed it up?

Step one: Go to the otions screen and run it at 16 bit color depth
Step two: Run in software mode not hardware mode
Step three:  Reduce resolution to 640x 480 NO MORE!
Step four: Turn off special effects rain snow etc.

When all else fails reduce resolution again below 640.

By doing this I was able to get it to play pretty well.  If I did'nt
like the game so much I'd probably say piss on it, but ya gotta love
those online sniper kills!!!!


Happy Sniping!
