grrr i wish you could sue people for false information/news. funny a guy i know still a beta tester with FC, says 1.2 patch and shader 2.0b did ZERO. quite the reverse statement. i can't wait to see it in it's final release. but i can't stand the MP and there are like 50 servers and everyone lags. the sprinting turns me off as it reminds me of Steve Osten from Six Million Dollar man.. god, if they removed the running and just left it in default run mode, the mp would be better just for that. it's funny how this game is on top seller list yet, servers don't increase. guess peeps are buying it for sp only..
