I do have a minor negative in that whlst my PC is above the Required Specs, and only just falls short of the Recommended Specs there is an unacceptably long lag in the load times for the various sections in the game, but thankfully I have heard that this is not the case when you have a bit more grunt behind you. No because of the need to have an internet connection and register your account online, while I realise this is an attempt by the developers to prevent piracy of their games this can prove to be a major turnaway for those few that either 'A' do not have an internet connection at home (and yes there are some out there), or 'B' their Gaming PC is not connected to the internet, means that this game is an immediate no-go.īut on the plus side this is the only major negative for this game. I'll deal with the no first as I can hear alot of people crying out why. And the question I hear everyone asking is, does it live up to expectation? Well here it is, the long awaited sequel to the original FPS blockbuster.
