I love the older ones. Sunk a lot of time into playing Rogue Spear. But screw you guys! Rainbow Six: Vegas is some of the most fun I've had playing a game since the xbox 360 came out.

Reminds me of my time playing Call of Duty: World At War So many servers that kicked me for swearing now and then out of frustration, on a game with gratuitous violence, limbs being BLOWN OFF, etc. It's a-okay to see that sort of thing but a few letter strewn together in a certain fashion are too much? I think people need to take a step back and realise that they're JUST WORDs. The F-bomb is 4 letters put together that ended up meaning a certain thing to certain, and it spread. When I say "Fuck" I usually use it in place of something like "Damn." Does anyone have a problem with the word "damn?" Didn't think so. If you see "Fuck" to mean something worse than that, then there's something wrong with your own perception. And yeah, the violence is fake and the swearing is real, but violence is violence whatever way you want to spin it. You're still taking part in the action of taking aim at something and shooting with an intent to kill. Yeah of course there's a line between fantasy and reality but it doesn't change the intention. You're aiming and shooting at something to kill them, to take something else's life. What's a swear word or two amongs bullets? I mean come on..

It seems that the lower you set that value, the less mouse lag you get but the higher you set it, the better performance you'll get.

Dual Core? Uh.. No ;) But considering the fact that people with identical rigs are getting far better performance, I am convinced I can squeeze a lot more juice out of this game yet.

Alright, cheers for the confirmation. I'll download SP3 and report back in a little while!

It WAS SP3 that there was a lot of complaints about when it realised, right? Have those problems since been adressed?

Which setting? Also I was thinking of upgrading to a 9800GTX that I could have bought from my friend early this year, but after looking at benchmarks for it, I noticed it usually only got a 4-6fps boost, so I decided to save my money. EDIT: Wait, sorry, missed your point there. I'll download the SLI patch and see what happens.

1) My performance on high: I can't entirely remember, I shall report back shortly with a benchmark. 2) My 8800GT is 512mb. And as for the bottlenecking thing, I'm skeptical that this is the case. I hate to just strike down advice, but that makes very, very little sense. 3) Failengine? What's that? 4) On the service packs, I remember there was some outrage with one of the service packs completely screwing up certain people's PC's, and working wonders with others. That was service pack 3, right? Just to double check before I install SP2. 5) Raver, I tried the game on my bud's PC last week. Dual core, about 2.6ghz or so, not entirely sure. GTX 285 I think it may have been and 2GB of ram. We put the settings on very high and it ran about 25fps on the trial by fire mission. Considering you have very similar specs, that's very odd. 6) Grunks, I'm only running a single 8800GT, not two, would the SLI patch really help? I updated my drivers shortly after the game was released in the UK, so thats the uh.. 186.sometingorother patch, correct? I also defragged both hard drives and was met with very little performance boost.

Windows XP 32 bit. Service pack 1.

Hi all I've noticed a lot of people (specifically on gamefaqs) running nigh on the same rig as me who are running at far higher settings with about the same FPS. Right now I'm running this on some weird custom config (made using the tweak topic) and I'm getting 25fps. To give you an idea of how it looks, it probably looks a little worse than "normal" settings, but not by too much. My rig is: Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz Geforce 8800GT 4GB 800mhz RAM I've seen many people posting that they have this running on high settings at 25fps no problems, and I am getting about 25fps during city combat with my rig. Considering my computer meets the recommended requirements, this seems odd. Would a reformat solve this? Because I have nothing I mind loosing except my itunes, which I can swap onto my second hard drive. Cheers.
