just wanted to add to the missfortune of that still good game that it killed one of my computer.... actually it toasted the cpu... :(
good thing is, it was NOT my main uber computer... and this one was kinda old (1700AMD+)... i changed for a 3000+ and a new board for less than 100$.... and its working again! :)
im pretty sure its not the game fault at 100%... but it DID happen when we were playing, the game crashed the whole computer, had to shut down holding power 5secs... then woudnt come back up... cpu had been toasted... anyway!
just wanted to share with ya all! :)

It's possible that the game is stressing the components more than you systems are used to. When Doom3 came out a lot of people had trouble with their video cards overheating because of the way it used them. Granted most of these people OC'd their stuff. It is possible though for a game to stress a card or chip more than it's used to and overheat it.
