for some reason most of jonah falcon's threads don't show up on my news
server. insert sarcastic comment

the demo is good, but didn't blow me away (nor do i expect demos to.) it
plays almost exactly like far cry, so anyone who didn't like far cry can
save themselves the trouble.

the suit is neat. if you cloak and run it only lasts ~10 seconds, but if
you're crouching or prone it lasts a lot longer. this makes it perhaps
way too easy to sneak around and pick people off without ever being
seen, even against a small group if you're quick enough with the
headshots.

the ai seemed kinda dumb.

it ran a lot better than expected, at least comparable to bioshock. i
think i'm done paying any attention to performance moans at gaming
forums. they rarely reflect my experience these days.
