Are there alot of hand to hand takedown and stealth animations or is their alot of repetition? 
Cheers!!

I've come across one animation for the hand-to-hand, when you unlock more attacks it adds to it.. one silent kill animation and two silent takedowns are all i've come across

Ah awesome thanks for th reply m8!! I hope levelling up those skills adds more animations otherwise its gonna start looking really repetitive!!

How did you get it already?

Yeah, I'm kinda curious as to how you got it as well. I was unaware that it was out but it looks pretty cool. Matt Rorie's comments kinda worry me though.

I'm going to say Torrent | Broken Street Date | Works for a Retailer that allows employees early access to stock.

Oh cool you can do pistol/other weapon takedowns?? Thats sick!! If th pistol is silenced can they can be used to maintain stealth?? Thanks for any replies!! :D

Got it legaly.. it was released in Australia on the 27th 
 
But all stores started selling it a day or 2 early, and i picked it up yesterday

So how is the game? I want it to be good but from the trailrs the game like it had good ideas with not so good gameplay.

Obsidian has made some very good games, and this one feels kinda unpolished and a little unfinished.. the shooting mechanics ive come across are really bad so far (but i've only used pistols mainly).. the concept and everything about this game are kinda cool.. spy culture, the crazy characters the dialogue trees and the choice (with story and character development).. but it just isn't as fun as it should be.. it just doesn't play that well.. though thats just me (and I still am playing through it, coz i kinda like everything else about it that i can handle the mad shooting and dumb A.I.) 

yeah agree with Genkkaku, if you want decent firepower try rifles, i switched to rifles and i have a better result, shotguns are ok aswell but only for close encounters, I use CQC mostly to do silent takedowns, martial arts ftw ;-)
