Ouch thats some harsh min specs there, looking like this AMD 3200 rig with Rad9800 pro is going to struggle.

S'pose the best way to find out is to download the 500MB demo and try it out. It must be getting harder and harder for publishers to target machine specs at the point of design these days. One review I was reading suggested this game was in development before Gun. (another one I haven't managed to play yet)

In general, or it is perceived as such anyway, the spec of peoples home PC's are rampaging - people for the most part keeping up with kit as it is released. Real for some, perceived for others.

I'll download it tonight and have a look-see...

I dl'd the sp demo a while ago. interesting concept but not much as for teh game content. the shader 3.0 is amazing but the load times are insane. it took about 5mins to load the first level*.... tbh, u'd have more fun playing ut2k4 or CS: S. just a pretty game that played pretty lame

amd64 3200+ oc 2.2ghz
(2) 7900gt oc'd sli
2 gig corsair xms ram
(2) 80 gig 7.2k rpm HDs in raid 0
sick loading times....grab some food or a smoke when you try it...
