    Yes. And it comes with the editor, too!

    Good torrent:

    being a mapper, I skipped the demo and went straight for the editor while trying it at work. The editor is freaking amazing, i figured out the terrain stuff, but now working on placing roads, and buildings. the drop in and out of the game in the editor is sweet! You can even play the single player level sunny if running it from the editor.

    Its time for a new video card for me! 6800 at home just doesn't cut it anymore.

    Just played it a bit, was actually able to crank it up to High in everything apart from textures and shaders, and it actually runs pretty good (in 1024x768). Looks pretty good too, although the lighting looks absolutely shite at times. Runs at about 20fps though, but its fine

    Anyway, reached the part where the sun has risen and you got these different camps you go through (Or rather, can go through). AI is really awesome, love when you cloak and they start searching the areas for you, poor bastards.

    Suit enhanced throwing of birds = unique selling point btw

    This game really begs to be played on high-detail settings. I didnt enjoy playing it on low-medium at all Looks like Far Cry all over again.

    Edit: Crymod.com - Crytek's modding portal has been re-launched in conjunction with the Demo and Editor release too by the way.

    I feel like the game is too good to play it in medium-low settings. I don't know if I'm going to purchase it just for that reason. I started playing in medium settings, then changed to high and was hard to go back again, looked much better but framerate was crap.

    Combat reminds a lot to Far Cry, yes, but much more realistic now. I hope the rest of the game has other innovative elements than the suit.

    The engine and tools look great for those looking for new modding experiences. That's not my case, my gold age with Source starts now, just when I learned the damned engine and can code, map, model, even animate a bit.

    Awesome demo, the combat felt really intense and I had so much fun ramming jeeps into every house I could find.

    Gonna try the editor now, that's what I've been looking for.

    Am I the only one who thinks that Far Cry still looks fantastic even now?

    Anyway, got no chance of playing this until my graphics card has been replaced...

    Meh, I wasn't really too impressed by the demo. Sure the graphics are nice but bloody hell it runs like a pig on my computer and the gameplay just seems to be cloak, shoot someone, recloak... All the time, same thing.
