Downloaded it. Played it. Finished it….. Seriously… WHAT THE HELL? The demo weights 1,6gb and it’s like… 10minutes of gameplay -.- Ok, I admit - the game is somewhere between PRETTY GOOD and DAMN AWESOME. But again, seriously the demo should be longer! I would be satisfied with just one hour… but not 10min. Another thing that’s just plain silly are the bugs. The demo has lots (and I MEAN LOTS) of them. Physics errors, graphic bugs (or should I say “a whole nest of bugs”) and even scripting/event bugs. There this weird one: You enter a building and go upstairs and some enemy soldier’s voice is yelling “BEHIND THE STRUCTURE BEHIND THE BUILDING” all the time. First thing: I’M IN THE BUILDING, NOT BEHIND IT. Second: After hearing “Behind the building!” for over 6 minutes non-stop it gets really annoying. Another weird glitch/bug I’ve found is that sometimes the graphics miscalculate the distance between me and certain parts of the terrain/structures (for example: I stand still about 50meters from a building and sometimes part off the building’s mesh ‘rips out’ and rapidly zoom 20meters towards me. In 2-3 seconds everything is back to normal. I’ve tested it on 3 machines (all are new machines with updated drivers so I don’t suppose it’s a driver/hardware issue) and it happens on every one.
Overall, the demo is great but definitely TOO SHORT. The gameplay is fast-paced yet at the beginning it’s a bit TOO FAST (when you hit START GAME you have about 30seconds to get used to the controls before you get blown away by a near standing soldier with a RPG). Most importantly - they must debug the full version, cause if the demo represents a part of the final product… well let’s just say that for the time being I’m not convinced into buying the full version.
PS. But the game still kicks ass :)
