I picked this up on Steam. Today's the last day to get it for 10% off its already low price of $15
Anyone care to buddy up and go murdering with me tomorrow?
Either way, my steam ID is Turambar87, as is my GFWL and Xbox Live ID, so feel free to add me as a friend on any/all of those

I got this on the 360 a week ago, finished it in 1 sitting.
Nifty game, have yet to go online with it, due to me having recently bought Reach and Homefront xD
-
Got it on 360 too. Love it, hell of a lot better than most shooters on the console right now, but the 360 version has some kinda bug in the netcode that causes constant freezes at random points when playing online. It's a real shame too, I'd love to be able to actually finish a match.

Got it off steam, waiting for the unlock.

CASUALS!

Good god, not here too.

No preloading, eh? Mildly annoying, and means I won't be playing it tomorrow. Oh well, Thursday will be fine too. I guess. Maybe.

how does it compare to the first game ?
-
Bigger, more content, better AI, graphics, functionality, all that. The first game was essentially a $60 tech demo for this one. The inclusion of an actual campaign helps it out immensely as well. And theres really nothing as awesome as you and your friends literally crushing the enemy with a mass strategic drop onto a single control point. Great Achievement, that one.
-
Eh I'll give it a whirl. :)
-
Just completed the campaign. Essentially the only thing Crysis 1 has on this is better actors. (And about two more hours to unwind their story.)
-
Okay, but how does it compare to good games?

You see the last good FPS was...
****, I don't know?
EDIT: The game is compressed, and it feels compressed, but not so much that destroys it like the first one. (Then again I didn't consider the first one bad.) It executes a workmanlike job of level design, as the first did, offers a good number of weapon customization options and a good number of distinguishable weapons, and you can respec on the fly as you could in the first. Combat is slightly faster-paced than the first game as shields have been weakened, but one still receives the impression that you and your opponents are wearing armor and both sides can absorb some fire.
All and all it has most recent games that claim power armor beat to hell in the look-and-feel department, and it is competently executed in gameplay, so I'm convinced my money was spent well enough.
-
It's $15 for a meat-headed shooter that's fairly competently executed. Swarm mode is fun and I imagine if I had 3 friends who had this game (doubtful), it'd be a blast. It's worth the $15 IMO.

Any idea if it supports large resolutions like 5040x1050 ?

Probably not, but if you're spending that much on computers, you should probably start investing in hookers :p

Resolutions get that high? And here I was being all proud of my 1920x1080. :doubt:

He's got three of them.
'Oi, Davros, Deus Ex: Human Revolution supports insane resolutions like that.

I never understood the point of a multi-monitor setup. Probably why I didn't think of it earlier.

This game makes me miss Tribes2...

For gaming there's rarely any need. For any sort of creative work however (so, 3d, 2d, not doing pie charts and excel all day), I find a multi monitor setup indispensable.

the first game supported eyefinity but the fov was wrong and the view looked zoomed in
found this quote about section 8 prejudice
"You can change the FOV in single player of Section 8: Prejudice with a console command (and piggybacked binds in ini files), but the fov resets when you come out of a lot of modes (overdrive, scopes, ironsights) so it is fairly useless. The FOV is locked to 70 degrees in multiplayer."
