Capcom is launching a special preorder program. When you reserve the game at participating retailers you will receive a code that lets them download a special version of the demo that also includes the "Dilapidation" map, giving fans plenty to do while waiting for the game to release in January.

played a few games online. the controls are ughh and it takes forever to aim. also the radar needs to be improved. cool weapon selections (love the disc grenades) and you stomp thru a bunch of guys when aboard a MECH.
was fun overall tho. no lag in a 4 person deathmatch (all from US)

I downloaded it wednesday early morning if i remember correctly lol on the UK live . I've been playing it for a long time ever since! lol It's such great fun!!! I love it!. I got 2 maps because i was one of the firsts to download it:D:D:D So Pirate fortress is the map that is included in all downloads now but not the other map i have called Dillipidation i think here is my review of the MP demo: Interface: 7.5/10 The menu was simple and easy to use , some submenus were restriced obviously since it's a demo. Finding a server wasn't hard at all , since many people are playing it now, one thing that I found disturbing was the fact that, when u look at server info it doesn't tell you how many people are in that server which was a bugger because if u wanted to leave because only 1 dude was on the server with u it'd take u back to the first menu where u have to search for servers all over again!. Graphics: 8.5/10 The environments are a bit too snowy at the moment lol , but still beautiful since the levels are full of snow u can't really see the graphics engine real potential but it's till very beautiful on my SD tv. The explosions are pure eye candy! U'll love blowing up towers (especially with the physics engine, it's marvelous) , throwing a disc grenade (attaches to walls, and mechas) ; bravo the the dev team . Gameplay: 9/10 The levels consisted of 2 teams killing each other, over a "data post" which acted like a radar and "food" to fill your T-energy. T-energy is shown at the top left of ur screen, if it reaches zero u cant use mecha's (yes mecha's , there AWESOME) or power weapons that use energy. If u get killed or loose a data post , u loose ur team T-energy , once that reaches zero ur team looses. Everything felt well balanced , mechas are powerfull but slow , making them sitting ducks if the opponent has disc grenades (i love em!) ; watch out for their cannons thought makes one hell of a show. Some environements are destructible , like walls, towers. The only thing i regret is that there aren't enough different vehicles ! There's mecha's point finale! I hope that in the final version there will be more vehicles , with even more power that would be just awesome There are mechas and weapons all around the map, some are under snow, so ur going to have to dig for them, and being careful not to get shot in the process lol. The controls are well done after u play the game for 10mins ; u have fully control of ur character. Some people think that aiming is slow, but what they dont noe is that u can change that ny pressing the "back" button on ur 360 controlled which enables u to accelerate or decrease the aiming acceleration. Audio: 9/10 The weapons felt very different from each other and boy are there many! From rifles,to machine guns , to super canons they all felt different in the way they sounded. Your man walking on snow , is really well done , explosions are all unique! I loved just hearing people shooting lol Overall: 9/10 Just a brilliant demo , just like the single player demo ; ill definitly buy it once it comes out if it's this good. I experienced no lag watsoever (i have broadband 512kbps, mtnl) , no connection probs of any sort. The radar like vinittwins said might need a little upgrade but after playing a while u understand it.
