anybody bought it yet?

played the first demo and thought it was tosh, played the second demo last night and liked it


picked up a copy today and just got around to trying it, only played the multi player part so far, seams quite good, but already seen a few glitches

not sure if this is down to lag yet, but have been unable to pick up weapons a few times and had my current weapon disappear completely (just walking around with an invisible gun that will not fire )

ps. not allowed to play COD4 until xmas day which is why i bought this

I have it and I actually like it, reminds me of Far cry as you have to drive vehicles as the game gets further on

now on the 3rd level i think?

just past the canals, walk into somebodys garage and its missing the textures on the walls

walk down the street and one of the cars parked at the end has no textures either, like its a "cell shaded" car

i still like the game to be honest, it could have been soooooo good if it had a bit more time spent on it IMO

Which is a shame as Deus Ex was good Harvey Smith must have been doing something right.
