I'm going to (somehow) wait until next year to build my new gaming rig, to play this - and whatever other next gen games are about. By then, there should be a greater range of DX10 hardware, plus a few patches for it, along with the obligatory tweak guide to get the best performance.
But of course as soon as it comes out, I'll see a mate shoot a tree in half, or throw a really shiny pebble into some amazing loooking water then rush out and buy lots of bits to play it with
But trying not to hype it up in my mind incase I get disappointed - but there has been a distinct lack of FPS games out hasnt there...
