No... because i used to do that playing CounterStrike. Smoke grenades were affectionately called...

ATI GUYS... DON'T LOSE HEART!!! READ BELOW!!!! If you feel the game textures and quality is crap, follow these instructions. Go to the: "Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter DemoDatasettings" folder and edit "renderer_settings.xml" using notepad. (make a backup of this file first though) Scroll down and ...

I have 5mins left before GRAW demo finishes downloading... which means this could be my last post for days. :lol: It's no wonder developers have so much trouble with ATI cards... their drivers are hopeless.

For example, if i buy a Physix PPU, in 2yrs time will I have to u...

Also, I've noticed that when using the tactical overhead map (while running in widescreen) the circles representing the player locations sometimes get WAY off course. Here is a screenshot:
