If you ever play in other type of games, you have got to play this one. I
can't see Half-Life or Doom 3 being any better. Graphics will blow you away.

I've been meaning to try it but I'm too busy with Splinter Cell 2 and
waiting for Thief 3. =)

You aint kidding. It takes some decent hardware to open up all the eye
candy, but the effects that are used throughout the game are amazing. My
favs so far are the blur effects when you are getting hurt real bad, and
when you toss grenades indoors too close and get that cool retina burn that
lasts for a short time.
 Not a hitch of a problem either. No bugs, hangs, or lockups, pre or post
patch.

Agree 110%

I loved this game within 10 seconds or so of playing the demo.  I bought
the full version the next day.

I played it on Normal and finished it.  I started a game on Realistic
and played through the first level.  That difficulty would require some
serious strategy later on.  I never tried the MP.

I have since sold it as UT2004 is so much fun but am looking forward to
FC2. :)

I have high hopes for Doom 3 but the graphics in FC are amazing.  I
liked the way the enemies would react to being shot; more or less
realistic reactions depending on where they were shot.  Also the fact
that shooting to the head/neck killed them faster.  All in all a great
game if you have the PC to run it.

WHS. Well worth the money. It's no GPL though.

Yep, it's fun-tastic.  I had a blast with the game.  Definitely the best
graphics I've personally ever seen in a game, and just the thing to show
off my monster rig.  I hear someone is working on a Jurassic Park mod.  
Wow, that would be killer.  I hope it doesn't get shutdown with a cease &
desist though.

One of my favs was shooting a guy riding in a boat and he ended up in the
water, and the *** flowed out naturally around his body.  And the physics
are fun.  I shot a guy who was standing by a railing with the shotgun, and
it sent him over the railing.  Looked very natural.

LOL, but GPL gave you the skills to drive the Jeep well, didn't it? ;-)

You racing sim guys are sure easy to impress :)
The game is good. But not amazing.
There are a lot of issues with the game, go to the main website and read
about it or go to comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action and read alot of threads from
REAL FPS pros :)

There are always issues with any game, some of which bug some people more
than others. But nothing whatsoever has stopped me having the best FPS fun
I've had since RTCWolfenstein. There's a demo anyway. If that doesn't sell
it to people then they probably won't enjoy the full release.

The graphics are by far the best seen on a PC.

And of course nobody in this newsgroup has any problems with PC games
do they.
