Now, for the cheaterstrike rejects who are used to the idea of buying completely new hardware just to drop the resolution to 800x600 and drop all settings to low along with a very high gl_picmip just to get the highest framerate possible as if it matters... well, they don't count. smile

What?

Look, all I'm saying is, it does not take a 2000$+ computer quadruple sli video cards to enjoy today's quality of video games. This machine has lasted for 2 years, and is still going strong, chewing up and spitting out newer game after newer game. People who can only afford a cheap 350$ HP computer system from office depot, really aren't entitled to an opinion when it comes to a game being resource heavy or not and should stick to consoles instead. If you can't keep up, oh well, too bad. Sadly, that's just how it is for pc gaming.
