Anyone wanna try it, and give us the results and avg fps?

Cheers

 

If you were wise youd get another game... its supposed to be dreadful (Im sure youll still need Skynet to power it though)

I've heard it's good lol, from all the reviews I've read. Just another short story line.

 

it's probably the same as Crysis, but with extra stuff. It's an expansion pack if I'm not mistaken.

 

I've finished it in Delta and played about half and half DX9/10. My DX10 settings are medium/high in 1920x1200 with around average 20FPS. DX9 settings are all high on 1920x1200 with around average 30FPS. I played in 1440x900 for a few levels (train level for example) because it's just so hardcore and drops FPS hard on those levels.

 

To be honest, you know how some websites were saying that Warhead was going to run better than Crysis with ultra smooth frame rates.. well It's not happening. For me anyway. I find performance wise, this game runs worse than Crysis. It sutters a lot, and I'm playing it in DX9. I am using the same settings I had while playing Crysis. So I've decided to leave it for a while. Besides from that performance glitch, gameplay seems ok. The only reason why I bought it was because of this rumor about the improved crytek engine. Maybe they have improved it? But possibly for people who own Sli systems, and possibly not for mobility chips? Who knows..

 

They never actually claimed it would benefit ALL systems. IIRC, they just said it would be easier to achieve high settings. What drivers are you using?

 

yeah, it runs better than old crysis on every machine.... except for crappy alienware.

 

lulz, not the case. I have a so called "crappy" Alienware and am noticing better results. As always, people should give a reason when saying x is y, which you are obliviously disregarding.

 

that guy doesnt even have an AW....running 20 fps on high with a notebook is pretty good already

 

Meh I already have crysis (and had trouble running it above low/medium) and on top of that I suck at it haha so I won't bother with warhead

 

Played Warhead on my M17X with all settings on high but no AA. Played OK with no stuttering or freezing. Played better than original but game itself not as good IMO.

 

I personally thought it was better, just shorter. Crysis Wars is pretty fast paced fun too.

 

I think WARHAD is pretty awesome and have no problems running the game on all high untill hell freezes over ;-). My problem is that after everything turns to ice my framratedrops so much that I need to go down to medium in order to play smoothly. Really annoying cause this game is beautiful on all high.

 

Try just turning down Volumetric and Particle effects. Worked for me!

 

I want to try it in my m17x with 8800GTX Sli... wonder if it will play at 1920x1200...

It does, and pretty dam(n) well too.

 

thx for the tip, I'll look into it and report back.

 

That's good to hear... I'll get it next time i'm in town

Yep he's just some guy coming in and bashing AW for no reason what so ever besides wanting to jump on the "Oh I'm so tech savvy and cool so I jump on the I H8 AW Wagonz!"

I think he owns the gateway gaming laptop. He was going to order the Leveno 61 but canceled, then he was going to buy a Sager NP9XXX (forget the name), then he was going to buy a m1730 off of a guy, and then he ended up with the gateway.

 

Turning those down to mainstream and keeping everything else high makes it playable but not quite as fast as I had hoped, but I decided to stick with it.

Finished to game shortly after. It was extremly good and definitely worth the money though it was way too short. I hope they create a few more expansions off of this engine.

 

Ah, at least it helped a little.
