Yeah I should be happy that it's a free game, since it DOESN'T WORK!

I'm sorry, THE ALPHA doesnt work. wait until it actually comes out and it will hopefully support more video stuff.

This is not the alpha.

This is the release version.

Please hand over the crack.

You think that maybe the reason they're releasing the game is to get kids to join the Army?

This is essentailly the beta, thei arent many servers, not may game options have been released, and their are 2 of many training missions.

Sounds like a beta to me. Their even calling it AA:Recon. Like a probe, or beta

Read the last couple lines of the post you link to, it says that recon is to "tied you over" until the full version comes out. The are doing everything but call it a beta, it still acts like one and plays like one

Well the whole AA game is the government's shot at recruiting in their prime target audience (18-24 year olds). They decided to blow money on a fun recruitment plan instead of advertising and such :P

I'm personally glad they spend money on this form of recruitment, Those commericals are just lame, this may at least get someones attention. And the game is really fun.

What a fuckin' joke. If my card can run UT, it should theoretically be able to run this.

No, not really.

Because they don't support your card.

Unreal Warfare engine DOES NOT EQUAL Unreal engine.

It's a next-gen engine, which means better, bigger, prettier graphics than before.

And it also means if you have some shitty ancient video card, you're SOL. THANK YOU, COME AGAIN!

That's like saying that because my old voodoo 1 card could run Quake 1 just fine, it should have been able to run Quake 2.

WRONG.

I doubt your card even has more than 8 megs of VRAM.

What a cockous engine. I can run any other game, including Morrowind, which came out, what, a month and a half ago.

The generosity of game developers in handicapping their engines to run on ancient hardware had to stop sometime.

I was looking for numbers that would prove a GF2 MX200 is superior to your card, but I got lazy and gave up.
