If your interested I can post the main stats for the guns (i wont bother with recoil and the like since it would get too messy).

The nice thing about this game is modding it is real easy, the scripts are almost english readable, you don't need any special tools (winrar and notepad for stat editing), the .pak files are actualy zip files which you can either tell winrar to open as pak files, or rename them to zip files
Any idea where I can hack the stats for that Nork AK-47? I want to remove the ability to use silencers, scopes, tactical attachment. This way, i'm forced to rely on the SCAR for those special abilities.

As far as performance goes, I've got a pretty sweet system.cfg going now that gives me 25-40 fps on my AMD dual-core 3800+, 8800GTS and 3 gigs of RAM. Most settings are high, a couple very high, and medium distance viewing details. I've got sunshafts, POM and SSAO going on. I opted to ditch the colorgrading.

The trick, as always, is tweaking. Like Duci, I've spent most of the past month grinding away at Cvars, mostly in frustration, until I got the 8800 last week. It's no Ultra or even GTX, but 96 shader pipes makes a huge difference in Crysis over the 24 in my old 7950GT. HUGE.

A tip for those using 7-series cards: It's the shading that will kill you. If you can live with med/low shading, go that route and with a few other tweaks, you should haul in 30-40 fps.
