I have been a PC gamer for a long time and over the 3-4 years it's the same BS from so many of you so called 'hardcore' PC gamers. Hope that clears up some of our 'QQing' about the game. It was more of a sight seeing tour than a shooter game, but I enjoyed it more than I've enjoyed many other shooter games since. A lot of the time when I was younger I would notice little details and say to myself 'How do they do that?' Stuff like POM where it makes textures look three dimensional or the lighting godrays, or the the slight spectrum of colors visible around objects when viewing them through water. What many gamers enjoyed about the first game is that it was actually a really immersible experience. It's definitely better than what passes for a game nowadays(think CoD and DNF) but it's certainly not as good of an experience as the first game. I thought it was a fun game to play the campaign in. Objects have less polygons, the shadows and foliage are substantially worse, the lighting is worse and the game employs an over the top amount of bloom. The textures are half as large in both height and width.
