Play with your teammates. Move with a group of guys. One camper can kill a guy or two, but he can't kill a larger group. Another strategy I use effectively is to kill one or two guys, then reasses the situation and (camp) until your team helps to move you forward. Overall if you learn the map...

Yes Kalt is my favorite map. I appreciate everyone getting it rocking today.

I bought this case from Tigerdirect.com for 70 bucks ( Ultra Black Aluminus ATX Mid-Tower Case with Clear Side, Front USB, Firewire and Audio Ports). It pretty much rocks. It is kinda big, but watch the video, it is pretty awesome. I put two 8800GTXs with room to spare.

I think the weak point in your system is that graphics card. I am wondering how much you spent on it and how much more a better one would have cost. Great processor (for this game), good RAM, decent Mobo, poor video card. That is my opinion.

Wow that is running cool. What type of cooling you have, just the Zalman stuff listed and case fans?

Once you 'max' out Source on full settings, it is over. I say once you can hold over 80ish FPS at all times, that nothing else really helps. I am well above this FPS on 1 8800GTX. Of course I have never tried to play Crisis. Additionally the longer you wait, the more the price drops.

Yeah start wtih AMD or Intel? I have bought several motherboards and my best advice is buy a mobo that will do everything you need, now and in the future, but nothing more. I mean you have to really think about it. So if the next 'best mobo' is only $20 more, it may be worth it just for the...

Yeah if you do not overclock the CPU, then IMO you should have gone with the dual core 3.0, but since you got good cooling overclock. Upgrade the RAM, but nice.

I would consider buying a 'big box store' computer and adding a better video card. Well in fact my wife bought one at Best buy for $800 and it plays DoD just fine (and she did not update the video card).

I bought an expensive headset from tigerdirect.com (Tritton AX360). A month later I brought the headset on an airplane, jammed them in a bag and they broke (the earpiece broke of the main frame). Since I paid so much for them, I wanted to fix them. I could not figure out where to get parts...

So I pulled the speaker input out of my sound card so I could plug in my headphones and I 'broke' the speaker input pin (not smart). I took the sound card out and removed the pin. It really was not that hard, it was stuck through the input slot. So now when I plug my headphones in, the plug has...

Ah, in the other forum you did not put the link to your desired computer. I do not know much about AMD so I cannot make educated comment. It is fairly inexpensive, so that is a plus.

My psychic powers are a little slow today, WHICH computer do you plan on buying?

Yeah Alienware is a rip off for price. If you are willing to pay for it go ahead, but you can get better equipment elsewhere much cheaper (as stated 10 times in this post). I have not visited their site in a long time, but it would be interesting to compare them versus our new sponsor...
