Anyone played Serious Sam yet? Really, really fun, and the kamikaze bombers are the funniest FPS enemies I've seen in years. (aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh *boom*)

<div style='font: 9pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Not sure, but I've been reading that alot. Powerful PC's are having trouble running Tribes 2. My advice wait for some patches.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 8% 0% 8%; '>I have a brand-new out-of-several-boxes "custom"-assembled (read: I chose the components) 1.1Ghz 128MbDDR system with a 32MB Radeon. Tribes 2 runs like a dream in 1024x768 (probably around 45 or 50 fps). But I have a 56K dialup connection. However, I played about three hours last night, and I can only remember seeing one flickery lag-jump teleport. Generally, a bad connection will kill a fast computer just as well as a slow one, so I'd say my fast computer had nothing to do with the good connection. 56K is probably fine...just pick a server with a fast ping.</div>
