If it makes any difference, D2D seem to have decent download speeds from the get-go. They've been going from strength to strength of late.

Interesting,. I will definately check D2D before Steam next time I will be buying a game. This is just ridiculous.
Are there any of you that bought it via Steam that has managed to download it, aside from those who pressed Install the minute it got released?
Updated Steam download solution: For us non-us gaffers, I just read the advice to enter your Steam settings and change download region to USA. It worked perfectly! Remember to change your settings back after the download is done, since some games use it for ingame configuration.

Damn, I wonder why it's so much bigger. Maybe the textures are higher res.
Still trying to decide if I should DD. My main gaming buddies already have it on 360, but I would kinda like the extra IQ and to see how it handles with M/KB.

Try verifying game data and restarting steam?
Been playing for a while now (PC). I am really enjoying this. The spawning system keeps snipers on their toes and really changes the game. I was afraid that the guns would feel puny, but the gunplay feels pretty solid so far. Perhaps a bit on the weak side. Also, I would change some gun sounds if I had the chance. 
One more thing, people really seem to care about the side missions so far. Pretty good, and it gives the games a more dynamic feel.

Game downloaded while at work but i've drank some booze and feel a bit light headed, will play in the morning
General feedback on the PC version? being UE3 I expect easy super-sampling at a low cost

NOOOOOOOO! And such.
Can't open installer from D2D downloader, so I have to go into the folder manually.
Once installed, doesn't even load up. Nothing registers in the task manager, have fiddled about with compatibility...nothing. The greatest of expectations met with the saddest realisations. Hopefully the Timegate forums offer up an idea.

I just quickly played the training stage, slid 60fps on my setup which I did think might stutter, I have to say the pistol feels like Halo CE in terms of power per shot lolPein said:

Do you have a headset plugged in? Might also want to check the audio mix in the options menu. Another possibility is that the game thinks you have surround sound and is sending them all to a non-existent center channel.
I grabbed it on Steam and have been playing Multiplayer and I'm LOVING IT TO DEATH. As a huge Tribes fan I have to say that this is the closest I've gotten to the feel of Tribes but it's also the closest I've gotten to the good ol' days of pc gaming. It's a ton of fun and so, so worth the $15. I hope this fantastic game doesn't get compltely overlooked
Also, the PC version definitely looks and runs a lot nicer than the 360 version so if you are on the fence of pc vs console for this game I recommend the pc version.
And in case anyone is curious, I didn't much care for the original Section 8, though perhaps I didn't give it much of a chance.
Between this, Frozen Synapse, and Mount & Blade: Warband I'm in nostalgic pc gaming heaven.

Did the same thing haha, so lost. I did terrible my first game, went 1-6 but my one kill was an orbital drop straight on to an enemy so it was worth it.
Think I'll go through the single-player mode to get a feel for the weapons and stuff before trying online again haha.
I Push Fat Kids said:
At the most basic, each map has capture points which you either have to capture for your team, or hack the enemy point and take it back. Doing so gives you more points and also lets you drop in without getting shot by AA Guns.
You will see these as numbered boxes on the key bases. The colour they are indicates which team has them.Outside of capturing bases, the game dynamically adds objectives for you, which are displayed on the right side, along with a timer and you usually get the announcer saying something. Completing these grants more points, xp etc and helps your team win faster. They range from the simple, Kill all the marked player targets or collecting scrap, then to the harder objectives like Killing/Defending a VIP or Vehicle Convoy. (The Difficulty depends largely on how well the team works together.)
The more you complete the more points you get which help you win. You also get money which allows you to drop in objects like supply depots, radars, mini-guns, AA Turrets and later various vehicles which can turn the tide when it comes to some of the above missions. You don't have to use the money, since there is usually a load of people dropping stuff but it certainly helps out if you find yourself needing a little more firepower to stay alive.
Oh, and shoot stuff in the face.

Anyone else have any issues with the D2D version installer? It continues to haunt me. Maybe an ATI Radeon issue?

Great MP tips guide here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTvR90JqHNs&feature=player_embedded
Does anyone have a guide to leveling up/customizing your loadouts? I have no idea what I'm doing or supposed to be doing.

This is a no brainer. Even if all assets were the same with matching res, the frame rate alone would make it better.taoofjord said:

I like the single player so far, it's simple but keeps you moving. The weapons and gunplay in this game feel solid too which helps a lot, all weapons feel like they are doing some damage.
Anyone changed any settings to allow MSAA or ambient occlusion? being an UE3 title.

Well I found the 360 version to be lower of resolution/more jaggy than it should be for a 360 game. I didn't say that previous comment because I can't stand to play games on the 360 or anything... I just noticed that the disparity between the two is larger than usual. And I also didn't care for the feel of the aiming on the 360 version (the acceleration and dead zone are a bit funky) whereas it feels fine on the mouse.
Anyway, people need to buy this! It really is a fantastic game. Go read the eurogamer review if you don't believe the positive initial impressions:

I love the multi, at first I was being killed and sniped from every angle every moment of the fight but I am learning, becoming crafty and owning people with napalm grenades
Problem, I bought the pc DLC for 240 allards which is napalm airstrike, flaming shotgun shells and some unique looking armour but the download will not work, says access denied :/ i've paid dammit let me have my dlc!

This game is ridiculously good. At first I wasn't a fan of the shooting but its really grown on me.
The choices in the game...its amazing how well-balanced the game is in spite of the choices given. With the shield, you have JUST enough time to use skill in combat--getting the drop on someone doesn't automatically equal a kill. This won't please the greedy whore in you but using your jetpack to fly above an opponent, launch a mini artillery strike, while locking on and firing your rifle is ridiculously satisfying. Every skill and attribute you earn, every unlock has a positive and negative, and there are so many different situations to apply them to, its rare that it feels unbalanced.
It has much more lets-sprint-then-use-our-jetpacks-and-meet-up-with-two-mechs-on-their-way-to-assault-a-base-and-then-all-hell-breaks-loose action than your average game.

The aiming on 360 is very poorly designed, it feels very sloppy. If you just circle your right thumbstick quickly you can see how off the x and y axes are. Ogre Twitch for you Halo fans is what I am talking about. I like the concept and the dedicated servers, but the core mechanics are lacking, it is hard for me to get into it. I assume the PC version is fine because of M+KB, a lot of devs still don't know how to make aiming on console fluid. Too bad, because this game has some cool aspects and originality.
