Now, let's examine the performance when DirectX 11 enhancements are turned on.:




Indeed, Rebellion's claim of increased performance is verified here, and suddenly CrossFire seems to be working. But on closer inspection, things are a little more complex than that. It looks like the cards with the highest compute performance, such as the Radeon HD 5830 and above, get a performance boost from DirectX 11, while the Radeon HD 5770 holds its ground and the slower cards actually lose some traction.
The good news is that, up to 1680x1050, even the low-end cards get a sizable minimum frame rate boost from DirectX 11, despite the implemented DX11 features. At 1920x1080 and above, performance is similar to DirectX 9, but two Radeon HD 5850s in CrossFire can easily handle 2560x1600. A single Radeon HD 5870 does the job at this resolution, too, though not as smoothly.

i've been thinking about that since the first page. I think it's a good idea to include this beast in crossfireX in the graph, since none of the gpus here can handle this game at the most demanding setting.
single 5970, Crossfire 5870s and Crossfire 5970s are all missing from the graph.
Although I appreciate it takes a long time to bench all these cards, I really don't see the point in wasting time in benching anything less than a 5770 (or 5750 at a stretch) - gamers don't buy these cards - so that's two cards worth of time that could've been dedicated to at least a 5970 or Crossfire 5870s.
Could we hazard a guess and say a 5970 would be about 140-160% that of the 5870?
There are way more people with 5670-class cards then there are those with a 5970. Odds are that if you have a 5970 you'll be able to play the game, it's the people with cheaper cards that live on the border of playability that need these charts the most.

Nr 2 - the slot system for marines is just in the way. Having to choose what weapon to carry is a first for the franchise and kils mutch of the fun of beeing a Marine. Best exsample - if U want to use the smartgun U have to throw away all other weapons. But since bullets are scarse , U suddenly find yourself empty and no backup ( online).
I loved the 2 first games and are shocked they made the Predator so weak, in a marine vs Predator deathmatch i notised the predator died afret 4-6 hits , while I - marine could take 2 hits from the sholder cannon b4 I died. I won the match 15 -6 1 one 1 . In the other games One Predator could take 3 marines due to weponry and armour. This game has taken all fun out of the predator.
