Looks pretty sweet actually. I'm not really into the Marines (although I truly support all of our U.S. military), and I'd rather see that engine with a game based on the U.S. Navy SEALs, Special Forces, or Delta. But I must say, it looks pretty sweet.........

Wow if the graphics are really that good that would be great, eventhough I would have to buy a new machine prob. :-)
Well, isnt it fall yet , huh are we there yet dad ?:-)

What's wrong with the front of the handguards on their M16A4's? Or are those A2's?

Damn, the resolution on those BDU's looks incredible! Real damn good! I'd really like to see a game on less-super 1337 detla farce mega force groups, such as 3rd ID, 4th ID, 1st Cav and others in Iraq. That would be interesting. They could even have the Deathtra... uh, I mean the Stryker... yeah.. (POS)

Very nice textures and nice normal-mapping on the player models. The weapon models look like they could use a bit of work, but oh well. I've been looking forward to this game for awhile now, so I can't wait for it to come out.

They're holding the M16A2, says it on the preview article.

I can't wait for this one. The weapons models seem to have improved quite a bit since the very early sceens but could still use a little work like Rat said.
I also think it's cool that the combat interface is like R6:3 and SWAT 3 sorta.

Damn that vid clip looked good. You're going to need a pretty sweet computer to make the game run that smooth with that detail. Time to request a new workstation!!

Strange thing is another preview on it said M16A4. So I really dont know what weapon is, looks like an A2 to me though. Hopefully modding tools will be released so some top notch modded weapons can come out. Should be good multiplayer !

that is a couple of quick ties for the PEQ2. Most Marines have the A2 so they are SOL for a rail to mount them. The Corps needs to put more money into their troops and not a failing aircraft IMO. Granted if they could get the bird in working order they would have one mean fast mover err...its also a helo...o well. but I digress. They are quick ties.

they don't look like zap straps, more of a texture problem, and plus, they don't even have the PEQ2(or4s) on their weapons.

Also, in one of the screenshots(from the first person perspective) theres a M16A4.

Oh yeah. now that I look at it closely it does seam to be a texture prob cause there is more the a few lines. And, I know there is a A4 there, im just saying that most have the A2.
