Got mine as well :D
BTW guys do we need to download the game from Steam in one single go or we can pause it and continue some time later as well?
Because downloading 7GB at one continuous stretch is not possible with my slow 1Mbps network connection :(
Thanks!

@Terabyte pause resume whenever you want.

Got my game too although I owned it on Steam already. Guess I will not wait for this to cool down and give it away somewhere :)

1. Login
2. Go to freemetrogame.com or first go to the page called "Metro(THQ)" like it then try the app via link in page.
3. Grant the app access and retrieve code.

and use the code on steam right ? But the app seems to have different instructions

Jripper #25
Dec 12, 2012 at 7:01 PM
^ There is an option in the top menu bar. something like "redeem game code" or something(don't remember). Post the code there. It will detect the game automatically and add it to your library.

You can either go with the App in the instructions, or save the key and activate the game in Steam.

I just got a key an hour earlier.

That link was redirecting me to my fb home page.
However I searched THQ demo on FB and found a key for myself on their official page.

Btw, the only reason I can think of this free give away is yo promote Metro 2033, and when 2034 cones out next year, more people would buy it because they would gave played 2033, and honestly, its a nice game.

Metro 2033 is a hard to run game, to max out you need GTX580+

A doubt here - If I obtain a key now, will I still be able to use it after a month or say even a year (without adding the game to my steam library for the same period) ?

There's an expiry date, so I'd suggest you to just activate the game in steam, start the download and pause it, and continue downloading whenever you can ;)

So even if it is in my library, if i donot download it now, it will dissapear?

Its a sham, its running 10-20FPS at best, and to me at least that's completely unplayable, I need 30FPS atleast if the game smooths the frames like crysis, else 50FPS+, when you hit outside FPS will drop another 40% for sure and that means you'll end up dead, this game requires lightning fast reflexes as half the time you'll be ambushed.

You have absolutely no idea what Metro 2033 is all about, at the time of its release no GPU, yes, NO GPU could max it out @ 1080p and maintain even 10FPS, only after GTX480 came we saw some results(30FPS) and as you can see below, still today, no single GPU could max it out @ 1080p, and the below results are with PhysX OFF, you turn it on and it will even crush a 680 SLI.

I am having a 7870 CF and I am not sure if would be able to max out this game entirely. I need to make some optimizations with Radeon Pro for maxing out and thats also a chance not sure shot at all.

You can, FPS will hover around 50s, and may drop to 40s occasionally outside.

I used to get 11-23 fps on my 6850 @1080p :p
Then lowered "depth of field" and "shadows" to medium. Got a comfortable 40 fps after that :p
Skud
Skud #61
Dec 13, 2012 at 9:21 PM
I got more or less 30 fps with these settings:-

Options: Resolution: 1920 x 1080; DirectX: DirectX 11; Quality: Very High; Antialiasing: AAA; Texture filtering: AF 16X; Advanced PhysX: Disabled; Tesselation: Enabled; DOF: Enabled

Of course, min fps dropped to single digit some times. But, gameplay remained more or less smooth throughout, so you should have a blast with the 7870CF with PhysX off. And you can turn off DOF to get clearer visuals and boost in the frame rates.

Running Metro 2033 with my rig @ 1024x768, DX9, Quality : High; Antialiasing: No; Texture filtering: AF 4X; Advanced PhysX: Enables; Tesselation: Disabled; DOF: Disabled

And i am getting good playable experience.

During fast paced playing time, you can't really see the difference between low and high in metro :D
Nerevarine
Dec 14, 2012 at 12:32 AM
IMO going even for 2x antialiasing at 1920x1080 is a waste of fps.. but thats just me ;)

Hey guys - another query - whats the difference between beta and non beta version of the same game ?
Like I am about to buy a game say XYZ. But there are two choices -
1) XYZ
2) XYZ beta
Whats the difference and which one to go for ?

XYZ is supposed to be stable and the other is for testing new features

I disagree, at times I just stood there and watched the scenario, for example there is a overly extreme high res texture in game at a pile of rubble.

Thank you TDF! Activated just in the nick of time! By the way, does this remove my steam account's limitations? Like friend requests and stuff? Also, will I be able to max this game at 1366x768 with a hd 7770?

1. What limitations ?? I don't have any limitations.
2. No you won't be max out this game with that card.

@tkin. Agreed. Thats most noticeable when you surface though. I was talking about the times when you are underground(dark areas). And ofcourse there has to be a difference between the graphics settings otherwise there won't be any point in having "low" and "high" :p

steam restricts community features for accounts with no paid game. prolly he is asking about it.

Thank you TDF! Activated just in the nick of time! By the way, does this remove my steam account's limitations? Like friend requests and stuff?

why don't you just check yourself if the limitations are lifted? just check your profile if it still says community features are limited. ;)

What about 6870 then?
Nerevarine
Dec 20, 2012 at 11:25 AM
yes, you will be able to max it out as long as your processor wont bottleneck it.. My friends is running it on ultra with HD 7770 at 1366x768.. fps is around 30-35

Maxing out means Ultra with maximum AA at 1920*1080. :p
