    Yep, but it had a Geforce 4 MX460 in it so yeah. Haha. Nope, no Macs. I don't really like the Apple product line. Too flashy! (and expensive...)

    My fave game of all time was Deus Ex if anyone really cares so I do prefer PC FPSs.

    Ok, Now I've completed it I think I can throw down my two cents:
    • The graphics are really nice, It's obvious that some high-level detail has been traded for gigantic levels and draw distances. This game has many of those 'wow' moments that I haven't experienced since the original 'Jedi Knight' on PC. Sometimes I just can't believe the scale!
    • The (single-player) game is quite short, as the reviews say - it needs to be played on the two highest difficulty settings. The bad guys don't even use all their tactics or equipment if it's set too easy.
    • I've heard a few people complaining about the penultimate level and how bad it is. I was expecting something but there was nothing of note. Anyone know what reviewers mean by this?
    • The friendly AI is really dumb sometimes. If you let the AI drive the warthog around a battlefield, while you sit as a passenger (or gunner). Don't be surprised if the driver just stops the car and gets you all blown up when things get too hot. I can't fault the navigation, getting stuck, and flipping the car, because some of my good mates do this regularly despite being weaned on Halo 1 and 2.
    • I need to say it again - The levels are Gigantic. With a capital G.
    To me this game feels like the original half-life. It doesn't bring anything really new to the table, but everything it does, it does well. If you have a 360 and don't hate shooters, get this game... If you do hate shooters... W hy did you buy a 360??
