    Game fell completely off my radar. I really used to enjoy LP2, what do you guys think of this one any takers? Didnt see a thread on the game yet so I figured...

    strange thing happens though. even with v-sync off the game maintains 61.3 FPS all the time, and utilization adjusts accordingly, so indoors it will be something like 60% and outside in a firefight its 99%, always maintaining the 61.3 fps, it never drops so amazing. Reminds me of enduro but here it works XD Its awesome for temps too never above 75° ( I usually get 86 max)

    Also what bugs me is the hold to aim as opposed to toggle the aim, any workaround for that yet?

    Sounds like aside from v-sync there is a frame limiter built into the engine. Similar to the Batman Arkham games.
