Hello, Really enjoying the game and have managed to get around 20fps out of it- hopefully with patching it will improve. I've recently tried sniping but found it slows the system dramatically when looking through the scope. I also was wondering why grass etc isn't rendering through the scope. Sure, it makes it easier to spot targets, but looks ugly. Intel Extreme Q6850 3ghz 4gb 866mhz gtx295 vista 32 all up to date drivers. In game settings are pretty much maxed, on 2560x1600 resolution. (30inch lcd) Thanks for any tips or advice. Fin

Another example is hearing birds while in a helicopter.

Hello all, If I am in the wrong section or am repeating existing threads please forgive me. I find myself relying more on listening to the surrounds with this game, due to the realism of the combat system. Yet I feel a little let down but some of the ambient sound features, even gunfire ie; 1. The sound of a creaking opening door, when in the middle of a field, 2. The constant buzzing of a mosquito in my ear, etc It's like areas have audio themes dragged into them, for example swampy areas always have the same frog noises. Also, gunfire can be misleading for me as sometimes i've been shot at from a distance but it sounds like it's next to me (usually heavy machine gun fire). Other times I get 'deathcracks' and some nice distant semi-auto small arms noise. Another issue is the sound of motorised units in the distance, their volume seems to be far too high for the range. Audio events just seems to have inconsistent volume levels. More localised noises would be nice, (things you hear as you walk past them). I use a Creative XFi gamer, with up to date drivers.
