I'm very happy about the fact that they're putting something back together. I did get quite a few chuckles out of the Riff Trax samples though, I'll have to grab a few of those. Yep.

I'd suggest bumping things down to medium and seeing if that helps. I know my X850 will necessitate mostly low settings. Graphics are still nice even at the low settings and having seen the game on super high settings at GenCon, you only miss out on some small stuff by bumping things down. Game play wise, I've enjoyed it. It's fairly basic as shooters go with the added twists of moddable weapons, which isn't that big a deal, and the suit powers, which make the game pretty fun. AI is definitely a mixed bag. They do some smart things like flush you out with grenades or fire at the places where the plants are moving if you try to go cloaked in plain sight. Then they turn around and do things that are just plain stupid like your aforementioned case. My personal dunce cap award goes to the trooper who threw his grenade behind some logs on a hill only to have them set loose and roll down on top of him.
