I've heard rumblings these past 6 months, after the beta went live, that this game has some serious issues. Can any Shackers explain what the issues are so far?

Is there a chance that they've fixed these issues (tightened up the graphics on level 3, so to speak, LOL) by now?

Thanks for anyone who can share some insight on this. I wasn't interested in the game at first (way back when) and then I became more intrigued about a year ago but now I'm worried that it's not going to be so hot.

I was amazed when I saw the first video of this game and almost pre ordered it on the spot. But after more time i've grown skeptical of how good it might be. This demo is just the thing i've looked for. Let's hope it can draw me in.

    what map are you talking about? the public beta had 2 versions with 2 different maps. : tangles

I wonder if the demo will include the ingame ads and tracking software or just the retail version?

If so, it would seem strange that a free demo wouldn't have it, but when you pay for the game, then it's in there.

But then again, I'm not buying the game because of it so it doesn't matter. I don't like being a game company's cash cow on my dime.

This is what it all comes down to. We will finally know if it truly sucks or not. I have been on the it sucks bandwagon for some time now, but I'm willing to give the demo one final shot.

Godspeed splashdamage, I defended you so strongly for so long. Best of luck.

For those who've played the BETA and are complaining about the game: I wonder how many posted their issues on the BETA mssg boards? I loved it and really can't wait for this game. I wasn't a fan of the original ET:W but this one's a blast IMO.
