    The game should ship with a letter inside with an apology from every person that previously worked on it.

    DON'T BELIEVE THIS MAN! 
    He is part of a conspiracy that is going on at the moment and will take off in the next few days. It's all one big scam! The game doesn't exist.
    Or do you know anybody that played it? Yeah, that's what I thought.

    Started up the game, which began with the same sequence that the demo did. Right after I got beyond that sequence, about 10 minutes into the game, I seem to have experienced a bug which does not let me advance further. So I'm still not convinced that the game is real.

    so whats the word on the game? Gaf is saying its quite a bit better than the demo, "proving" the demo was a old ass build. Any confirmation to this?

    Tried it over live which wasn't without its difficulties given it technically doesn't come out here in the UK until today, but yep. It (just about) worked. And that's all I have to say about the multiplayer....

    @Rhaknar: The beginning section of the game (the stadium section in the demo) felt to be exactly the same. I played a few rounds of deathmatch over live before heading back on BC2. If I had to put money on it, I would say that this where the oldest tech in the game sits. 
     
    In case anyone is actually interested, as multiplayer is the only part of the game I've spent any real time on, here are my initial impressions.  
     
    First off and most notably , the networking code isn't exactly modern... Quick match matching worked about 50% of the time (but again, the game wasn't widely available yesterday). There's an old skool server browser that straight up shows people's pings over live - no traffic light system or anything. So unless people know what these numbers mean, its all a bit pointless. Speaking of the server browser, I could not get into a game through it at all - all games just came up with a version mismatch error, but again, I'll put this down to the game not being available fully at the time. There was a 3MB day 1 patch so maybe this was messing stuff up... Once you're in a game, multiplayer feels like a late 90's PC shooter - its stupid fast, guns and items have spawn points and given how much of an advantage certain guns have over others, I'm going to guess that people will be setting up tents and spending significant portions of time around specific points on the maps. At the moment, people are clearly experimenting, but from even my brief experience of the game, I can tell you now, the shotgun is the one to roll with.  
     
    In fairness to it, there appears to be a persistent levelling system there - not sure what this actually unlocks. There are a bunch of hair styles, tops and sunglasses that are initially locked (some of which are tied to the single player), so my guess is these will be the fruits of your labour.  
     
    But the load times..... Geez.

    Played the game for about 2 hours yesterday. Its not the best game out there but neither is it the worst game. Getting a strong sense of nostalgia while playing it.

    I hope it's a game that CANNOT be finished. Like the last part of the game didn't compile right and it bricks everything that plays it.

    @solh0und: That's probably a reasonable guess.... I never intended to keep it long. Going to bash through it this weekend as a matter of drawing a line under the whole DNF fiasco then trade it in towards Dirt 3 or something while it's still got some value

    The more I play this game, the more I realise the last delay was merely to release it while the majority of the world's game press was too preoccupied with E3 to get reviews out....

    If you feel the need to see this thing through to the end like I do - rent DNF.
