Don't no how powerful your PC is or what resolution you'll be playing at but get the fastest GPU you can afford.

Is it worth getting? YES! has it's issues but most works beautifully. Where else can you see a Defiant and Whimpy flying together?

Funny, Creative Assembly have just stated their older Empire Total War is still selling strong, even though when released it had many bugs. It was and still is a great game .. just like Cliffs of Dover. Mods for Empire have improved it immensly, maybe a hint for 1C ?

Why developers keep reducing prices of great game is beyond me, mods and word of mouth will keep people buying.

For online experience check out this channel showing gameplay on ATAG server http://www.youtube.com/user/Semashko27/videos It is better to see for yourself than listen to others ))

Offline experience is limited by not working radio-commands and AI mistakes in some situations (like crash on landing). If you do not care about friendly AI crashing sometimes and not following your orders there are many great user-created campaigns available (see link #1 in my sig).

5850/gtx 460/gtx 470

Any opinions guys?

Also, I have ordered the collectors edition, do i need to wait for it to arrive, or can i/will i get a code to enter into steam for download before recieving?

All these are very old video cards (like mine). They will not allow you to run the game in resolution higher than 1680x1050 with not very pleasant FPS and visual quality.

I would buy one of these second-hand only as a temporary solution till I save for gtx580/670/680/HD6970.

If the patch brings significant FPS increase you can go for ATI HD6950 imho.

Make sure you get 1.5, 2 or even 3 GB version to use high quality textures.

There's so many negatives, and from what I can see, the only positive is that it looks fantastic in most aspects. But i don't want screenshot software.

What's the verdict? How are campaign and online experiences?

Dont get it yet.

Wait see what the patch offers then decide.
