    is there any place that is carryign this game today? i know the "shipping date" on gamestop is today so i was wondering if any stores are carrying it yet. im just curious because i heard someone i know already got the game today and is playing it ;\ also are there any deals going on this game? as far as i know circuit city isn't doing the reduced price of 39.99 (even though xbox owners get this game with cod3 free)...

    i cannot wait to play this game!!

    Hopefully you'll take your time though, I wouldn't want rushed out reviews from people who didn't take the time to actually have fun while playing the game, like IGN :p. But I expect more cuz your a good reviewer!

    and regaurdless, I'm buying this game asap tomorrow ;)

    So, is it true single player is only 5-6 hours? That's a bummer.

    I like multiplayer, but love a quality single player campaign. Guess I'll have to wait until it's $30 or less if it is truly a short single player game.

    I'll respond to the second part in my review. :) Don't want to spoil it.

    Nope the people who have beaten it are playing on regular which is rather easy. On regulay you can run and gun.

    On hardened the game is a toughie (especially on the later levels). It requires more patience and strategy and skill. Its more realistic because enemies are smarter and fire better and in general much harder. Its still rather easy in the earlier levels and some parts of the latter levels but some parts were very very frustrating, because they were very hard and honestly some of it was crap your pants scary at how many soldiers were coming at you or what you have to deal with. 2 guys vs 30-40 enemies and dogs with little cover for example (oh yeah it happens). Can't wait to try the game on veteran. It took me about a bit over 8 hours to beat.

    bah you distracted me from my review lol. Back to work!!

    Picked my copy earlier from Circuit City. I couldn't get the free CoD3 because they ran out early in the morning. So far the game is impressive. Exactly what I had expected. :)

    in my game, the grass appears REALLY black, and so do the trees. sometimes, the character models appear to be shaded completely black as well. (see screenshot below - look at the grass in the background)

    ive played through some of the Russian levels, and im pretty sure the grass isn't supposed to be pitch black.

    ive tried the 163.71 drivers and the 163.75 drivers, neither seemed to fix it.
    any ideas?

    my gfx card is NOT overclocked btw.
