it is nice to see some companies who care enough about their product and try to fix it, rather than just leaving it, I will take a look at the changes this weekendd

Had a quick blast the other night. It's really looking good. Need to get some multiplayer of this on the go!

I also loaded it up last night. Loading times have slightly improved, textures look nicer and even on my low-spec PC it is running pretty smoothly.
At this rate, by 2017 it will be an amazing title.

If you do let me and Betty know, we'd be well up for it.
