I don't know I've taken all kind of missions. You feel like you are doing the same thing again and again, and then start over from the beginning. Go to A and kill B, then return. And drive to your next mission and there's more NPC driving around trying to kill you. It feels like a chore than fun. That's about the entire game from what it seems like.

The plot is very weak. Very poorly written script. Acting is sub par.

Besides the weapon system there's really nothing going for this game. I don't want to waste my time playing a sub par game. Fallout 3 is next week. I'd rather wait for that or many other titles coming within this month and the next.

GTA4, Call of Duty, Command and Conquer, NFS, Mirror's edge, are all releasing within a month time frame.

Great find man. There is no more stuttering whatsoever!! Capping the framerate to 30 fps resolves the problem. You are a genius! :heart:

Glad it worked. Not a perm fix, but will do for now I suppose. I wonder what's the threshold where stutter is first noticed. If your card can do 30+ avg fps, may be worth bumping the cap up one value at a time to see.

Yeah, I will try it to 40 fps or more. But even at 30 fps, I feel that is just enough.

EDIT: Just tried it at 40 fps and it's a no go. It stutters. Best setting for me is 25 fps. Even at 30, there are some slowdowns in some places.
