yea the lag is very bad, i just fool around in it by creating my own server, its nice, the maps are awsome, and the guns are pretty cool to. i like how the mg can be deplyed anywhere you want.
btu anyways, the lag kills it, hoepfully it will be playable come the weekend.
I found a server with open spots with low (enough... 50ish) ping and lots of players finally . The game is REALLY fun! Working great here, 1680x1050, HDR full, 4x FSAA Transparency MSAA with gamma correction, 16x AF filtering, high quality in drivers, maxed ingame options, etc. etc. The graphics (mainly because of the lighting) are just plain incredible. I've been playing for over an hour so far and love it!
I'm already getting hl2.exe errors and crashes just running around in an empty server of my own to check stuff out. Yay Source engine! You piece of buggy ass shit.
