Anyone else played this? It's really good. I bought the game today for no apparent reason and while I've only played it one-player so far, it's really good. It's up there with HL story-wise.

Anyone else got anything to add?

I just downloaded the demo 2 days ago... it froze instantly. My crappy ass video card isn't compatible with a damn thing. But it looked cool though...

As I did play the demo, I like the gameplay smooth and nice. Maybe I am just a stickler for pretty pictures but it made me smile

I've almost beaten the PS2 version months ago... but I stopped for some reason playing it. However, very nice game. The only things that drove me nuts were that it was TV resolution, and I was using a gamepad in a first person shooter. Both of which should be solved if this download works.

oh look we can blow chunks out of the walls but we forgot to include any other form of gameplay!

i didnt really like this game one player. the multiplayer rocks but they fucked up so many possibilites in the single player

simultaneity is not absolute. So just because you think i'm wrong, from my frame of reference i'm right!

In what way?

I've been playing RF single-played a lot, and it's quite involved and theres lots of depth in there (going undercover, flying in a fighter craft, piloting a sub), and as far as i've got the story is very interesting.

What don't you like about it single-player? Or haven't you really played it much and are talking out of your ass?

What kind of morons release a game in this day and age that doesn't run on Win2K? Or, at least, WinXP. It crashes like a mofo on my computer.

I'll get the PC demo sometime ... see if it's better than the PS2 version. It better be - the PS2 one runs at a shitty 30 fps max, and much less if you're blowing chunks out of the wall.

Mind you, Inf-Rocket DMs in the mines are always fun. You can blast holes so deep you can't see out of them.

played the game on both pc and psx didnt really like it. some bits in it are blatantly ripped from half life. vehicles were crap sub was fun for about five minutes until i realised oh look this is exactly the same as the rocket launcher which i've already used to blow holes in polygons yet set underwater. they could have done some madass thing with that total recall drilling truck but that was a wasted effort. they based everything around the geo mod thing which could have been good in one way but ended up being bad in another. good if they used it as a subtle addition and tried to implemnent other ideas with it. but in the end it was "oh look we done this really cool idea but we cant think of how to implement it to its full or think of any other good ideas. we'll just go nick some ideas from half life again".

i'll stick with UT and Operation Flashpoint some examples of probably the greatest games ever devised.

i'm not saying RF is a horrendesly rubbish game but its not a very good one either.

dont dis the ps2 RF chugs along on pretty much every pc that isnt above a gforce2 pro
without some relativly high graphics dumbing down
