I have been reading the SH4 forum since the day of official release.From what i read,the situation is maybe worse than the launch of SH3 and this is unacceptable,since SH4 is mostly based on SH3 ,so they didn't have to make a game from scratch.

My experience with SH3 was: First enthusiasm.Then frustration waiting for patches.By the time patch 1.4b came out,i was so tired and bored that i wouldn't play the game anymore.The REAL SH3 that would worth been played is the one that can be played now with the GWX and other mods ,so that each can have his own.

I think the same goes for SH4.Only this time,they should have started with a much better release,much more bug free,because after all,it is a modification of SH3.Instead,many bugs and very high hardware requirements.Which is another reason why i don't think i will buy it.My nvidia 6600 would probably come to its kneed trying to play SH4.I don't think i could reach 30 fps judging from what i read from users with much better VGA than mine.

William described very well and from first hand the situation.Especially the absense of weapons officer helping the solution is a game-breaker for me.I use him in SH3 to give me speed.Then i manouver in firing position and find range and AOB on my own (i m bored to mark things on the map).

I think that SH3+GWX will be easily beating SH4 for many months,before a good supermod comes out and all patches are put in place.

And let's not forget that the atlantic theatre,has more "charm" than the pacific one.
