You were quite clearly criticizing the gameplay, an aspect of the game which is fine, so I don't know why you try to deny it. It's not that you criticize it's that your defense of that criticism is ignorant, and that's my opinion on your statement.

So you want to victim 4? Ok, I already found something flawed in your statement, so bring it.
Dude, you think you're racking up 'victims', but you're the only one getting repeatedly wounded like the Black Knight. Whats next, bite my ankles will you?
about the 3000 shots, I read loads posts saying that before I played the game, then I bought it and its just not the case. If you shoot in strength mode, your shots wont deviate much at all and a quick burst takes out enemies no problem. If you shoot with maximum armour mode with long-ish bursts most of your shots aren't hitting anything. The enemies aren't really that tough either, maybe we've been molly-coddled by games giving us no-real-threat cannon fodder foot soldiers *cough cough half life 2*.
Personally I'll take America's Army (which is a free game) over Crysis and Half Life. But, that's just me I guess.
We can play it maxed at high resolutions now through various means... My personal favorite is two voltmodded g92 GTS cards. Next best option will be the 9800 GTX... goes up to 860 core without mods. As for crysis as a whole, its not a bad game at all.... but sadly the gameplay is only really balanced properly on easy... and even then koreans take way too many bullets.
I don't think it is a Crysis issue, or lack of computing power... I just think that DX10 on Vista is what is causing all the holdup.
Vista, to me, should have been Windows XP, with all of the current patches and fixes, all rolled into Vista, PLUS all the XP bloat systematically stripped free (including the swears in the code), make some graphical enhancements, stick in a svelte new DX10, and we should be at 60 FPS on current hardware.
So, don't blame the hardware. Cause the stuff on the market is unbelievable.
I just OC'd my Opteron 165 to 2.73 GHz, have 2 GB Ram, and an 8800GTS 640, OC'd as well. How great of a computing experience would I have if I bought Vista this afternoon? Not a very good one, now that is just sad.
My suggestion is build with XP x64 and don't think about Vista at all. Because you won't be getting good results for the next 2 years, and it is not the hardware's fault.
If game publishers made games run on Linux, I'd never use another Windows product again. I got burned on Windows Millenium Edition, and after that I decided to never upgrade an OS until it can deliver the goods, and the way that looks is it is 2 years from now Vista will be worth considering.

because rather then just play the game and realize that its slow paced action doesnt require many FPS theyd rather look at a 2digit number and decide from that fi its good or not.
of course. Get a quad socket server board, put 4 Core Extremes in there, pair with 64 gigs of RAM, and SLI a 9800GX2. It all depends on what you mean. I'm sure scientists are putting their own custom video cards in their super computers with a couple petabytes of RAM, and laughing at us, because they're running Crysis at 2560x1600 and getting a couple hundred FPS.
