Now, I regularly defrag my system, and did so only about two weeks ago. Considering that no other programs have been installed since then, it's enough to make me wonder whether this game, or the install process through Steam, plays hell with the file table.
I always defrag after a huge install like a game. I also run CCleaner too incase any leftover junk is still lurking around. Not usually right after install, I'll play for a while, but when I'm done for the day I'll do it. And then it's fresh for next time :).

Exactly, that was the best. Pretty much unstoppable with that bad boy combo. Whoever I couldn't snipe with the Gauss from way off, got it point blank. :)
