So, BulletStorm.
Looks awesome, and I've checked videos about how that multiplayer "Anarchy" mode is, which is basically GoW2's horde mode. Which is fine, because I loved it :D

But there are also a myriad of posts about what an obvious console port it is, and how certain configuration options are locked and so on... which makes me wary about it's performance in my PC.

I have this setup:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 2.80 GHz
4GB RAM DDR2
ATi HD 4670 1GB
250GB SATA2 HDD
Running Windows 7 professional 64 bit.

Anyone with a similar system care to share his/her experiences with the game? Particularly interested in performance in Anarchy mode, since I suppose it's more taxing that single player. I suppose. Please tell me it works fine. :D

Wait for the demo to find out for sure.

I doubt the demo will include Anarchy mode, though, which is my greatest concern.

You will be bored with anarchy after the first play through.

Unlike 'Horde', it's not just killing waves of mobs with friends. You actually have to work with your teammates to get past rounds. While this would be fun with friends, it's terrible playing publicly.

1. No text-chat, so usually no one even communicates.
2. Public players suck, hard.

Campaign was fun, that's it. Echo leaderboards are full of cheaters so don't waste your time.

Re-visit Bulletstorm when it's $5 on the steam sales next Christmas.

EDIT: Oh and, there's a very small population of players on anarchy. It's quickmatch only, so if you enter a match full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ - you'll be re-matched with them over and over, and over.
