    Ok, So I thought I'd try the demo out on my m11x-R2.
    Its overclocked in Bios and with Throttlestop.

    Settings are:
    BIOS: 166Mhz
    Multiplier = Turbo
    TPL = 100
    Force TFP/TDC = 8


    Sorry for the poor commentary and playing, I cant hold an iPhone, a mouse and use a keyboard all at once!

    But if this is anything to go by, seem's like it wont be a problem running it!

    runs excellent on m11xr2 @ 1366.

    i bumpbed to 1980x1080 and it wasnt the best.

    the lack of graphical choices is terrible, i was able to do crysis 1 on 1080 with some tweaks.

    Ok, New video with fraps running in the corner now.
    Do remember I cant hold the phone and play so don't take into account the poor play performance :p

    You'll also probably want to skip to around 1:00 in as it takes that long to load the level but I never bothered to crop the video.

    I played a full match with an average of 27-30 FPS - Never went below 24 FPS. It was very smooth and very playable!

    When I try to log in, it says that my email is already in use. So I go to the site and try to reset the password but it says there is no account with that email. I tried making another account with a different email and then it says that email is already in use as well. Trying to reset the password with that email says the same thing, that there is no account with that email. I'm done with this demo. Wasn't going to buy the game anyways.
