Combat still isnt doing much for me tbh. AI moves well but looks a bit...eh. It doesnt look like a particularly exciting FPS to me. Visually looks decent tho. Will be a good rental.

Wut? That makes absolutely no sense in regards to my comment..lol
I'm not a graphic whore, but there's no dynamic lighting at all?
And why do enemies disappear two seconds after killing them... in 2011? Also the AI doesn't seem very I, they're more the cannon fodder type. :)

Dynamic Lighting was one of the compromises Carmack had to do in order to mantain 60fps.

- if this is decent, show me great! lol
You could get into major trouble saying that, there is a debbie downer crying about Resistance 3's resolution and Id Soft's RAGE is a locked 60 frames per second like Call of Duty but with dead bodies that disappear and blurry distances/textures for places the game dev believes gamers will not really be able to reach like the tops of certain buildings...
I know this game will probably be much more technologically impressive than the latest CoD tech but then again I cannot dismiss all of that millions of money that Activision has made and every other game dev is trying to also get.
Finally I saw the Quakecon 11 conference on youtube... John Carmack confirmed that he does not believe in "bolt on Dx 11 like 3d features because he prefers to build such things from the ground up if the gaming hardware in question ie consoles had such hardware features and no point of putting that extra work on PC"
Basically what that means is that its an Open GL 2.1 compliant 3d engine (comparable to DirectX 9c) they have their new custom tech but its still going to be limited by that and I will say yet again had Microsoft forced a console gen jump delay for 2007 we would have been looking at a 3d engine based on OpenGL 3.0 which is comparable to DirectX 10.

I see what you did there...
But seriously, can someone elaborate on the lack of full-campaign co-op? How have they decided to do the co-op? Separate?
One person plays through the SP, then another person plays through the SP. You each screenshot a similar area you've both played through, print those out, cut out the bits and pieces and record a stop motion video for YouTube.
