!!! Battlefield 2 Demo Review on Skybuck's Dream PC (2006)
Hello,
Originally I intended to post in the audio newsgroup only but I might as well treat all three items in one go, audio, graphics and performance Let me start with: !!! I am truely impressed with the X-Fi Elite Pro and Surround Sound System... !!! While my computer is downloading some more game demos I might as well write a review about my experience with Skybuck's Dream PC (2006) and Battlefield 2 Demo version 1.0.2446.12. I am truely impressed with the sound... and ofcourse the graphics as well... and the performance etc. It's truely awesome and impressive. Now back to the sound... The sound is simply amazing ! It's totally different compared to two speakers sets, Literally ! Some voice messages are different... I don't know why yet.. maybe one gets different voice messages as soon as you go ultra high sound quality... Everything sounds 10x times better and a bit different too. Just higher quality in general... deeper, cooler, fricking awesome... I PROMISE !!! I am not sure if this is because of the soundcard or because of the higher sound settings or because of a different demo version... Whatever the case may be... the sound is truely and utterly awesome and worth every penny I spent on this card and the surround sound system... Ofcourse I have a lot more testing to do... for example comparing the onboard audio to the x-fi elite pro... But so far I am pretty much almost literally blown away with the sound and the graphics. Even the graphics are far better than I ever expected. For example I watched this funny video of bf2... but on my pc it looks even better. I can set everything on ultra high and anti 4x etc... and resolution 1600x1200 (highest possible) and the two graphics cards (7900 512 mb) simply cut through it like a knife through the butter. The frame rate is most of the time 90 or even higher. The cards aren't even breaking a sweat. And the graphics look superb... the sand is almost glowing... the shadows are great... everything just looks supeeeeerr... You gotta see it to really understand how good it looks and to believe it... I swear to god it's 10x times better then I ever expected. Everything is better the explosions... the sound of the explosions just pretty much everything !!! So far I played on a 32 player server only... I also tried playing on a 64 player server which was a bit laggy... but my game crashed twice within two seconds... Don't know exactly what causes that... but others have reported about this and their might be a fix for it... so I ll check that out if it crashes again etc. The first time I played it didn't crash and I could just play and play and play... but then some players left and it got a bit boring and me left. Though I could hit everything perfect. from the chopper and on the ground as soldier etc... I haven't really flow choppers only a bit... and only a little bit with planes... we couldnt even lift off we got spawned killed the whole time. To be honest shooters are starting to bore me a bit... add the stupid cheater factor and I could predict the death of the shooter in 5 years... however who cares Bye, Skybuck. |
