Playing on my 2.6 DuoCore on a SLI but only 1x8600GT and have everthying turned up pretty high. No refresh issues in even the big fights. Pripyat looks like a rip off from STALKER though, but pretty. My conenctivity at home is shot thanks to a lightning bolt (lvl30).
Have not unlocked any weaps or skill upgrades so far which is mildly sucky and the lack of progress like in Hitman does diminish long term allure of the game.
Weapon modelling is not so excellent, particualrly WRT to the M4s. They are mirrored on either side and there is no ejection port etc. on the RHS. Barrels are too long, probabaly because they took it off a civvie spec 16" and the M68/Aimpoint M2 has been replaced by a cheapo made in china kock off of a Tasco from the early 90s. Dude, where's my FSB? (actually useful when doing 'hip' shooting)
EOthing gives ludicrous amounts of magnification for a 1x and you lose situational awareness big time, when it should really have been the same as an Aimpoint.
No ACOG is a bit disappointing as is a dire lack of no-shoots.....just hose down all movement.
NVG mode is pretty decent.....
Sniping sukz.... no dope, no hold over, no real benefit from going prone etc. No variable power......
No lights....it's so much cooler and moodier with weapon lights like in STALKER.....
Multiple shots from a Javelin.....(suck) and no M136 LAWS (yet)
No slow down when loaded to the gills.......RPD and RPG!
Durkas too military looking. No man dresses.
No moving cars and bongo vans to light up....cars blow up too easily when shot.
I think it would be great modded up.....
