Just read the review on GameSpot on this game. Doesn't say much. But I'm really looking forward to the AI and how much slower it'll be compared to Jedi Knight 2

Yeah read that review too, shame, sounds like it'll have a lack of finish like Jedi Outcast does, ahh well.

Sure the ending was really bad in MOHAA but the game itself was pretty good IMO.

Yeah the ending was terrible, don't think it should be classified as an ending, it just finished more like
Still probably preferred it to JK2 I think, sure it had problems but JK2 felt more unfinished with all the annoyances in it.

SoF2 is a very good game...and very hard. The EAX is amazin. I love the positional audio.

It is very hard, I die alot. I was gettin only 20-45 fps so I had to back off on the eye candy a tad. I can run 1024 x 768 x 32 at about 45-100 fps. The AI is the best I've seen in a FPS game.

Alot of people are having trouble running the game. If ya plan to buy it, check Raven forums first.

I don't care for the multiplayer....so so IMO.

SOF2 IS the STUFF MAN!

Its amazing

I think Im half way through, but Im not sure. It is VERY hard, but the story is amazing and so is the AI. The game is just hands down the best FPS single player mission Ive ever played! I really like MOH2, but I never reached the ending@! (I got as far as the bridge scene which I think is near the end, when it blows up and all the tanks are there).. I reformatted and lost my spot so I said screw it.

Anyhow, SOF2 is amazing

When you said eye candy, what eye candy are those?

BTW, are there bots in the game?

I somewhat agree. The game is very graphic intensive. Folks over at the Raven forum are bitchin up a blue streak.

IMO, even backed off on those items, the visuals still satisfy me. With my computer setup, I was hopeing I could run almost any game "full eye candy" but I can't on this one. JK2 I can.
My Audigy and 4.1 sound give these games even more enjoyment.

Good luck !

Gosh.. I just noticed that you have a GF3. It's high time I get at *least* a GF3Ti200 for both GTA3 and SoF2

I'd like to say I'm working on a guide, but still awaiting to buy the retail version now so can only work off the demo at the moment, heh.
BTW - Alias Shader On is faster than Off.

My Geforce 3 handles SOF easy, with everything enabled.
The 2.3GHZ processor doesn't hurt.

The Geforce 4 does an even better job, but I really dont notice a difference in game feel between the 2

Hmm, I have to disagree on the graphics ... I run them at full detail too, but I can't say they blew me away like Jedi Outcast. The game itself is solid though, it has a nice story and it's also plenty tough.

Runs fine on my system (see link in signature) at 1024.
Only played a little of it but I can't say I am all that impressed.
Maybe once I get a bit more into it...

Runs well, and looks nice even on older machines. (Athlon 1Ghz + Voodoo 3 @800x600 low/medium settings). The multiplayer is quite good, makes a bit of a change from CS (especially with weapons like RPG launchers and the like). Have been playing it in my local Cybercafe, plays fine at 1024x768 with all detail on AthlonXP 1.7/Geforce3Ti200/256DDR.
