    Has anyone played this game? I just got it and I haven't tried it out yet. However it looks really good. If anyone plays it let me know and we can play together. :D

    Hey tim. I have heard of it, but haven’t played it. I'm a Day of Defeat Source player. It's my main game, and I'm #2 out of 1000+ on the server I usually play on ;) Let us know how the game is, it's one I'm interested in. Perhaps some screen shots when you get it working.

    Well I am going to try this game out tonight. It was pretty fun for the first couple of minutes that I got to play before work. :p

    Cool.. so how is it? Any screen shots so I can see what the graphics look like? Ctrl + Print Screen should do the trick ;)

    I will try to get some pics up later tonight. School comes first. :p

    I played for about 2-3hrs last night. This game is AWSOME!!! Finally a game about WWII dedicated to realism. At first I had a hard time getting used to the different way of playing but now it is very fun. I will try to get a better review tonight but I am so busy. I will at least get some screenshots. :)

    I am still trying to get some pics up but they are too big. :p

    A couple of thoughts about this game. It is pretty cheap. You can pick up a copy at Target for $30 or download it from stream for $25.

    The graphics are amazing in the game. I can play it at high settings but I do notice a FPS drop in the levels with rain. So I would stick with medium which is still plenty. (I have the ATI x700 with 128MB of ram).

    The physics are sweet. It is pretty funny seeing a guy get shot at the top of a hill and then roll down the hill like a rag doll. :p The game is pretty gorey but it is rated M.

    It is hard to explain but the game isn't fast paced like Call of Duty. Instead you need to take your time getting off shots and taking cover. It is NOT a run and gun game. If you are looking for something like CoD this is not it. In fact this game give me a head ache if I play it too long. o_O

    Oh and one final thing. You need to get really close to your monitor to see movement far away. Trust me. I probably sit 5in away from the screen if I am sitting in one spot with a rifle.
