The mapping and general design is amazing. I gave it a 7 out of 10 simply because some places are extremely unoptimized and go into single digits even though I have a GTX 550 TI super clocked and a 3.6 ghz processor. The main thing that bothered me was the quality of particle effects. But they bothered me because so much more could have been put into them, though I'm overly picky about them because all I do, every day is make particle effects and other VFX for mods and indies. Other than particles and laggy places at times, This is a must have, and absolutely fantastic.
