I like how they did the early release of take-on, i say something more or less like that not giving away game play but a shell we can get in and play around on.. with the active enviroment and such should be put out well before release, so we can get a handle on it and give any nessesary feedback to BI before the main release. but with that i am pre-ordering asap, with the understanding that it would be acceptable for another 3-9 months after its launch.
also with those of you that say you should have to "login" to an account server to play the game, thats a deal breaker for this game, it will get in the way modding and other external server mod/security, and cause problems with game play. the GUID system thats currently in place works well, i have even placed my own security mods to control hacking/dupe/bugs that "be" does not catch, that if i had to verify a person through a "account server" it would leave gigantic holes. From a modders point of view its a horrible idea.
