Any of you guys know if FC2 will support quad cores? I heard a rumor about 8 cores, but I found that hard to believe.

I remember seeing a tech demo and they said it would support SLI/CF and quadcore...
Isn't this game just an overhaul of UW2.5? Like Half-Life 1's revamp of the Quake engine.
Yay thideras, he beat me to it because I was distracted watching TV.

I already use my Quad for gaming, 2 cores for 1 game, 2 cores for another!
I'm often playing a game on my 24" monitor while playing video on my 42" Westy LCD, I love how free I am to multitask with a quadcore.
Sadly I'm going to have all four cores being taken by one game in the near future.

one thing i like about this game is the health system. If you get shot you have to pull the bullet out of you. Much more realistic that running over a medic pack or giant heart lol.

You gotta be kidding.. That's one of the things that bothers me about COD4.. Get shot 8 times, hide and catch your breath, run out, get shot some more, hide for a second, never die, it's pretty lame...

haha, pulling a bullet out of your arm, magically regenerating after taking lead to the chest, instantly healing with a medkit.
Looks counter strike got it right, or BF2 with the damages set correctly.

well i guess if it were realistic you would get hit once and be dead... that is if anyone hit u in the arm or leg, then you would be just easier to take down. Real healing time would be around a month or so and that would totally suck!
They got to draw the line somewhere, but i agree it would be better than cod4. just taking a breath heals you.....

One could always make a remark about how an online game's not real. In reality, get shot in the arm, you're probably useless for at least a while using the other arm to keep the blood in. Get shot in the leg, you may be done for action-wise. There's always going to be some arcade elements to FPS games in the near future. Either way, by getting shot once and die or ten times and die, you still learn your lesson on what not to die and all is still fair. I always thought it a bore to die in CSS and have to wait so long to spawn or in BF2, to die and have to march all the way back into action which may be a good way away. Ok, I get it, I'm dead and need to avoid it. Do I really have to do the same dull waiting game over and over when it's just so redundant and wastes so much time when I just want quick action. That way I can have my quick fun of playing a game and then resume my regularly scheduled program of tending to other important things IRL. Not all of us have a lot of time.

Multicore could mean 2 cores tho, not necessarily 4 cores.
I'm sure they will first optimize for 2 cores, then if they have time, take advantage of 4.
Unless they say exclusively for the 4 cores, you still have to keep your fingers crossed.

Hey finally a game with a decent health system. Never did like those games with health "recharging" over time or your character is the best doctor in the world and can heal any wound no matter how bad instantly with a simple field medkit. Get shot in the head with a rocket? Here, this medkit will put your brain back together instantly. Fall off a bridge? Here, this medkit will fix your back like it was new. All they need now is a decent damage mapping system, no more enemies dropping dead if you shoot them in the hand several times.
/end rant.

I would love a game like that. I suppose disregarding the risk for losing sale from having to maybe rate it adult only, the logistics of the game probably make it too complex for modern PC's. But on second that, it would be like they did in SOF, just online and better graphics, so may be entirely do-able. But with graphics of today, it would create another generation of 'video games are too violent' soccer moms and such.

Or you could take it a step further and make him have to find food and water to stay alive.
