Load times and a new difficulty level are a good start, sure, but holy crap: They fixed the devastator takedown challenges! Finally. This launches Thursday, supposedly:

A few months too late.

I'm glad that they finally fixed the game but really it shouldn't have shipped like it did. 
 
I did have fun with the game but I would have had twice as much fun if the game wasn't loading half the time.

The devastator challenges were easy in comparison to a lot of the other ones =S

Yeah this is great news. It's almost going to feel like a new game. I'm looking forward to diving back in.

Getting the game very soon. I hope the update fixes problems with load times.

oh god now playing it wont take an hour for one race!

According to Stephen Totilo, this actually increased load times for him.
