finally beat the darn game. it is actually a very nice game but it is insanely hard. the graphics are amazing it really does look like a real beach. it did lag on me a few times it it ran smoothing after buffering for a few seconds. seems this is going to be the halo for PCs. get everybody to upgrade and buy the game. my only problem with this game. the planes freaking suck! it can't maneuver for jack even though it is just suppose to be a troop lander. other than that it is an amazing game. if only more computers could handle it.
