First, the demo looks and plays incredible, for the most part anyway.
I'm on the fence about buying, could go either way.

First, the driving physics of that jeep are, umm, I can't describe it, but when i hit reverse it's got like nitro and for some reason you can't brake?? heh, this needs major tweaking.

When I downloaded it, I had to install it twice, for some reason the first install was bad.

If I change the aa settings the game just locks up. Seems like most of the other settings are fine, but I know how this goes, drivers, so forth, I won't hold that aginst the game, since this is a demo. The driving physics for that vehicle though needs some explainign to me though http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Another thing, near the end, the boat with just one man gunning a mortar only boat can't be driven? And when I get on that boat and man the mortar gun, it has side to side motion, but not up and down. You can hold the mouse button, and it gives you the aiming info... like.... trj-11.50, ply- 00.00 or something of that nature.

I'm guessing this boat was just added at the last minute for the demo and didn't get full attention?

Also, while I consider the graphics the best out on anything I've played, I did notice some weird clipping problems when in the really thick stuff.

Lastly, the AI acts cool and shows signs of promise, then it just seems to falter.
