I've been waiting for this one, although the simultaneous release of a demo and its patch doesn't seem that encouraging to me...

they weren't simultaneous, however i'd rather have constant patching than no patching at all. Plenty of games like diablo 2 and a few other have had release day patches.... it is a great demo however and you houls enjoy it if you like fast paced games

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp The full retail version of the game is scheduled to hit stores sometime next week.

lot's of patching is really a good thing. If it hits the stores and 90% of the population can use it, I call that a success. Go look at the patch history for Diablo2. The first patch was all this crazy stuff, like one was if you beat Act 2 with someone in Act 3 the game crashed. Who the hell beta tests THAT?! But also, this is like a Beta Demo sorta so patching is expected and encouraged. Looks nice, I honestly didn't think it was ALL that (even with a Geforce4) but it was NICE.

I remember a time when computer games required only one or two patches in their lifetime. Ah... those were the days.

Whopper. My favourite FPS of all times is definitely ÙT. Tried the demo of UT2003 yesterday and liked it (mostly). Graphics look magnificent, especially the CTF-map in demo (Citadel).

As for patching, there are still games that take only few patches, like No One Lives Forever (great game, btw.). I played the unpatched game and noted only one serious bug (collision detection of the player caused some annoyance on tight spaces).
But otherwise, it played great...

I've played the demo for a few hours and while it's fun, it hasn't gripped me in quite the same way that SoF2 did. I did like the bombing run game, especially with the "low gravity" and "instagib" mods running (you only have one gun, the pulse cannon, and one hit kills an enemy). Quite the fracas.

I may wait until the retail version is at BestBuy for $39.99 before buying (usually takes just a few weeks, I've noticed).
