Pathetic FPS & Accuracy
581440
The Crossman R71 has an extremely limited range (10-15 Feet!) and pathetic FPS, even with .12 G BB's. It's highly inaccurate as the BB drops sharply as it leaves the muzzle. The Silencer is poorly constructed and falls apart frequently; however the rest of the R71 feels fairly robust. The hopper holds an ample supply of BB's and the battery has sufficient life, but again the issue is it's stopping power, or rather the lack of it. I wouldn't recommend this product for anyone as you will likely be out gunned by your buddies!

Why it should be getting 1 star:
Sync speed is nowhere near the 1/250 stated.  If I use a sync cable to connect the camera and strobe, I can shoot f8 1/200, no problem. With this receiver/transmitter, the best I can get at f8 is 1/80! That's a big difference, and it affects my work. So it's useless to me.

Why I gave it two stars:
Most of the other functions work. Channel selection, firing multiple receivers from one trigger, etc. So it is functional if you don't care that it is sloooowwwww.

I gave this item a chance based on the specs and reviews. I got burned. I don't recommend buying this.

Unless you have huge processor this game is unplayable on the large map. Plus the 10 minute load times and frequent crashes are maddining. If the game actually functioned quickly I would love it but no such luck. Save your money unless they speed it up.

Honestly you need a really good computer to play this on fair settings. I have 2-3 FPS on the game, everything on low. Unplayable for me. Get the console version instead.

Ignore the system requirements at your own risk, because this thing runs like a fat sow on any machine more than a few months old. On my iMac G5 bought just a year ago, it's effectively unplayable at even the lowest graphics settings -- and that's at only 2000 BC! I won't even attempt to see what it's like with a full, modern world. Very disappointing.

UPDATE: Performance is massively improved by the 1.61 patch (released on 31 July 2006), but it still slows down quite a bit after a few thousand years. As before, ignore the system requirements at your own risk.

I have friends at work that have been talking about how great this game is for some time now (x-box version), so I have been eagerly awaiting it's arrival on PC.  If the last first person shooter you played is the original Doom, then Halo will seem like a big improvement.  All I can say is save your money and download the Unreal Tournament 2003 demo instead.  In my opinion, every aspect of UT2003 is better than Halo (graphics, excitement, sound etc.).  In addition, I am running this game on a fairly maxed out system with an AMD 2500+ overclocked to 3200+ stats and a Radeon 9700 Pro graphics card and the game chugs when there is too much action on the screen.  This should not be the case on a game that is pretty much 2 years old.

I am an experienced and well known on line first person shooter gamer.  I have just read over 30 forums and over 200 entries..about the complete incompetence of Epic and Microsoft to release this game without resolving the computer crash problems.  I will ask for a complete refund.  Clearly if you take the time to read about this situation, this game release may go down as one of the most embarrassing products upon which Microsoft placed its name. Microsoft reps in the forums admit the problem.  For example, the computer freezes, including a complete closedown of video cards, after a "checkpoint" has been reached; in other words, when you complete a level. I have a powerful gaming computer, but i read gamers with high end (+$5,000) units freezing up.  You have been warned, which these comments only vaguely did for me when I asked for this game as a gift from a good friend.

Accuracy is very poor.  With the rifle cinched down at approx 30 yards, it shoots all over the place.  My 20$ cheapo pellet rifle from walmart shoots better than this gun.  Literally useless.

Complete garbage.  Takes 300 shots to kills someone.  The movement/controls are clunky and ghetto and not optimized for fun gameplay.

This game is going to be forgotten in 6 months.

I can't believe I paid $60 for this trash.

This has got to be one of the worst PC games I've ever had the misfortune to play.  The game interface is almost impossible to use, the help is virtually meaningless, the controls are virtually nonexistent.  It this case, I purchased the Download version - thinking I was getting a download of the CD.

Not so!  I got a stupid UPlay version.  It is possible that the game itself if much better off of a CD, but this UPlay version is a mess.  The mouse lags behind by at least 1 second, sometimes more (if it doesn't disappear completely), and since the download version doesn't (I don't know if the CD version does or not) come with a printed manual, you're completely dependent on the F1 help - which is worthless.

Coming from Silent Hunter 4, this is an unexpected disappointment.  From what little I can gather, there are NO keyboard shortcuts to most of the controls - you have to MANUALLY move your "person" to the appropriate location (good luck figuring out where that is), clicking on the appropriate screen location, and blah-blah-blah.

What this means that in battle, especially a surface battle, is that you're dead before you can get to the gunner to tell the idiot to start firing!  Or, the target is long gone and you have to run back to the conning tower to get back to the periscope (or where ever else you need your crew to do something).

Save your $11 bucks.  Get a pizza.

Don't buy a first person shooter. Battlefield has incredible graphics, but mediocre gameplay. DO NOT BUY DO NOT BUY DO NOT BUY

I'm very disappointed with this graphics card. Whenever I try to play Skyrim on a 1440p monitor I have to deal with such high fps and realistic graphics that the characters literally pop out of the monitor and attempt to kill me. When you're a fat teenager it's best to keep hordes of dragons within the monitor. I've suffered multiple amputations and have gone to the emergency room approximately eighty times because the realism is so precise that evil demons keep harassing me IRL. Nvidea did not compensate for any of this, of course. I'm currently trying to take the issue to court. Until then I am forced to grit my teeth and buy 50 80 inch monitors so the level of realism would not pose serious bodily threat.

Bottom line, if you value your safety I would not recommend buying this card. If you do, however, I would recommend also purchasing an m134 minigun and an enchanted demonfire battle halberd, that way you may only get decapitated twice instead of four times.

I don't recommend this dangerous product, but if you do get it, proceed with caution. I cannot stress this enough.

This laptop is complete crap. Advertised with a i7 Processor but it clocks at 2.6 GHz which can play The Division on lowest settings at 20 fps.

Immediately after receiving this in the mail, I tried it out and found that the Instant Gameview feature was incredibly choppy when testing it with a Wii U. A yellow message is present constantly in the top right corner of the Game Capture HD software indicating that the device is receiving fewer frames than it should. Clicking on it brings you to a page with suggestions on how to improve performance.

Only, my computer's hardware far exceeds the recommended specifications listed on Elgato's website. I have tried everything from connecting it to different USB 3.x host controllers, swapping HDMI cables, reinstalling USB 3.x drivers, Elgato software/drivers, graphics card drivers, enabling the iGPU from my BIOS, disabling Flashback Recording, and more. What puzzles me the most is the inconsistency in it's performance; sometimes the frame rate will be 50+ FPS in the preview, other times no more than 20 FPS. Sometimes the preview will be stuck a solid green color, and I'll have to either re-plug the HDMI or USB cable several times.

After several days of troubleshooting, and trying things suggested by Elgato support (to no avail unfortunately), things are looking bleak.

I will alter this review if any major updates happen or if I can somehow get it to work properly.

It did not meet my expectations as you are not able to calibrate the rifle as in the earlier editions. Point of aim vs point of impact is off by at least a foot (and moves around) which makes using the gun a frustrating experience, not fun. Yes I downloaded the patch and yes I am using it at the recommended distance parameters.

There's no tactics or cover system (just lean-left & lean-right); it's basically a generic shooter except you have two teammates to get in the way of your shots. And lots of really clunky dialog to suffer through.

Missteps abound, like needing to step in a certain place to trigger the voice instruction to hit a button to open a door (the button isn't there until the voice tells you to hit it, so if you don't step in the right place, you won't know what to do, because no button will be there to press!)

I got this because I had a great experience with The Saboteur (at a similar sub-$10 price point) and thought maybe I'd get lucky twice. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

Don't waste your time, it is NOT like R6V!

I bought this item, even though there were bad reviews. It was a mistake. The concept of the gun is great. The buttons are layed out well, and it feels great in your hand, but like some others have said. the accuracy is way way off. If you play House of the dead overkill. the gun reloads after every shot for some reason. You cannot even recalibrate the gun in the game like you can with the wii remote it does not work. There is something about the camera being zoomed in too far. If you are seriously considering buying this item wait until after christmas to do so. I contacted Penguin United on 12/15/09. They told me they would be more than willing to exchange my gun for the newer version which would be out in 2 weeks. So save your money for now, and wait for the updated version to come out.

Thanks
Matt
