Yeah, everyone always compliments LucasArts games on the sound, but i have to say HL2 blows anything out of the water as far as the overall soundscape goes. It really wraps your head in a blanket of immersion (tm).
The little things like the gunning car engine and screeching tires in the...
You can only get away with the, 'What's your problem, i'm only saying..." defense a few times - after that it gets old. I've seen Spartan reply to many, many threads, and never in a constructive, positive, or enlightening manner.

So here's my theory.
ATI got screwed on the September 2003 tie-in and launch. Remember the Alcatraz island rental? D'oh.
So, they hold Gabes feet over the fire and say, "You better do something after launch, or we'll sue your ass for breach of contract!"
So, Gabe and company do up some...
nVidia has released a new 67.02 beta driver. I've installed it and noticed better performance on my 6800, with no adverse affects. You can get it here:
