Homefront vs G73

Good morning all, a typical "How's it run" thread from me.



So as we all know, Homefront was just released. While single player FPS bores me to hell, the multiplayer is what really catches my eye.



This is why I ask: Has anyone had a chance to run through the game since its been released? Specifically on the G73.



The system req's are pretty shallow, so I have no doubt it will run. Apparently it's a dated engine and doesn't seem to demand too much from the system.



Homefront Minimum system requirements

Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7

Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 2.8GHz

2 GB RAM

Shader Model 3.0 graphics card with 256MB of memory

NVIDIA GeForce 7900GS or ATI Radeon 1900XT

10GB of free hard drive space



Homefront Recommended system requirements

Windows Vista or Windows 7

Intel or AMD Quad Core 2 GHz+ CPU

2 GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 260 or ATI Radeon 4850

10 GB of free hard drive space



Any first impressions are welcome! If they're generally positive I may grab a copy from Steam and would love to hit up some multiplayer with you guys!



Thanks

I'm looking forward to it too, I'm tired of the frustrating COD multiplayer (spawn kills, killstreaks, campers, hackers, ...) and was thinking it could replace that multiplayer in my case. Can't wait for some feedback on how the game is and how it runs on our machines!

It looks like it's using the Unreal 3 engine. Personally I know that Unreal 3 and Bulletstorm both run incredibly well on my G73. I don't think there's going to be a problem.



Also, the PC version of the game was done by Digital Extremes and they're not too far from where I live. Yay Canada.

Unreal engine FTW! But some people say the graphics are dated... I hope not.... And yay for digital extremes! I'm near Montreal so it's not that far

Bulletstorm is , but I love deathmatchs. I win maybe 70-80% of my games on COD since I started playing more and started using better weapons, but I can't enjoy a game where (it happens often) I die and drop nade, respawn and that same nade and die again. The spawns are ridiculous is COD (I don't own Black Ops, only MW2 because I had it free with my g73) and the matchmaking keeps getting me into 100+ ping games
