I think this game is awesome. I will also add....If you had slowdowns in the demo, you must remember your CPU was running up to 16 bots!!! I ran this game at 1024, 16bit, and it ran fine. I only have a GF2 Ultra, 256mb Pc133, and a 1ghz pentium III. I feel lucky to run this at 1024, no slowdowns, as I hope UT2K3 will too. I will add, I got major slowdowns when I played on a difficulty combination setting that made it common to have 3 or 4 bots really close to me, like when I was in middle front bunker, and I was playing setting where germans had like 12 players. Then there would be 2 or 3 tanks right there, and those AI calculations chugged my comp. Otherwise, no problems at all.
