If you haven't downloaded this and played it on your 9800, do it. I have
never seen anything as good on my PC. For DirectX 9, the 9800 is the way it
should be played.

Hi,

I made a similar post myself. I was really impressed with the demo. It was
the first bit of proper FPS-first person gaming I done since I built my new
AMD rig using a Sapphire Atlantis 9800, really was impressed!

I get the feeling that this game could be kickass in a LAN set-up if you and
your mates could play co-op vs the computer (Germans).

Anyway I been out the FPS gaming loop for 3 years or so. Maybe I am too
easily impressed but I give my thumbs up for the ATI cards, I have been a
long term nVidia user. . .

Except it uses the Quake 3 engine, so it runs smoothly on practically
anything.

It might do, but as it is Q3 running in OpenGL it ain't going to be
Direct 3D.

I tried it. My system is a P4 at 3.4 Mhz with 512 Mb PC3700 and a 9800 Pro
on a 172T LCD monitor. Game play is good, not anything better than MOAA,
but better than BF-1942 for single play. I found it to be a little jerky
with unexplained lags/pauses in some segments. Opponents sometimes seemed
to materialize from nowhere. I enjoyed it but it gave me a headache after
about 30 minutes. Ghost Recon is still the best single player FPS out
there, and CS is the undisputed champion if you want to test your skill on
line.

Gameplay is good, much improved over MOHAA. No jerkyness or lag at any time.
Opponents AI very good. Demo not that long though. Done in about 30 minutes.
