I PLAYED Far Cry. Three or four times. Excellent game. I HAVE NOT played Half Life 2 so I CANNOT say that it is better than Far Cry. I'd LIKE it to be, because that means I'm in for a real treat. But I like to remain objective and leave any 'fanboyism' at the door. If I am disappointed with HL2...
I'm apprehensive about AI. Check out the Combine soldiers in one of the Coastline binks. Standing in open taking damage. No hiding or anything just standing shooting. I hope I'm wrong...

The latest series of drivers for Nvidia, narrow the performance gap between ATI and Nvidia considerably. They have a noticeable increase in performance in DX9 operations with no detrimental effects on image quality. I don't think that anyone with an FX5900 need worry.
