I can't wait for the 10th when they raise the level restriction so we can get to those other weapons and character parts and upgrades. I cannot wait.

Cool! Good to know.

I did not know they planned on raising the level restriction on the 10th. Where does this info come from.
On a side note, for my scientist, I started out with the heal ability then switched to the sentry gun. I switched back to the heal ability but now that my scientist 2 has been unlocked, I am unable to select the sentry for either of them.
I'm on the fence about them resetting the stats when the game releases. Part of me wants what I've unlocked already. The other part of me wants to earn it from the full game.
Sorry to hear that some have been disappointed about the game.
I, for one LOVE the demo and cant wait for the full game.
Maybe somewhere down the road, they will have a dlc that allows for co-op campaign that allows for multiple character selection.

I'm only into Multiplayer but I played through the Vortex level; it was fine, although I got tired of this:

"Hey Blast-Off!"
"Yes, Vortex?"
"Where are we going, Blast-Off?"
"This way, Vortex!"

As for the Multiplayer: Even with all of the enhancement, character customization is kinda weak. I understand why they limit body types by class, but there should be like 100 selectable heads, all available in each class. You could re-mold for eternity. The gameplay was fun but didn't feel far removed from the previous game. I prefer double-jumps & weapon drops, both removed from FoC. The weapons for the Destroyer class are worthless, & Conquest mode is OK, but it'd be better with a smaller map or more characters. Here it's just drive, capture, drive, capture, & so on. 6/10.

Just downloaded the PS3 demo.

Not impressed by the low res of the graphics or that the game crashed as bumblebee left the bridge.

The graphics have clearly had a lot of work put into them but I don't think it's rendering at 720p which is the mode my screen jseems to be in. Think its a much lower res that is being up scaled to fit.

Sound was excellent though.

I'm not sure If I want to keep my pre order now. Shame.

Update: no crashes on my 2nd play. I enjoyed the single player levels. The graphics issues still stand but once you get into it they don't matter so much.

Does anyone know how to use the abilities in the MP demo? I press R2 and nothing happens. Am I suppose to wait till a certain bar is at full? Which bar should I be looking at? The bar around R2 is at full. There is so much new sh*t to look at now on the screen, What am I not doing or seeing?

Okay I loved the Demo. Cannot wait until the game's release. but here are the things that bugged me

Campaign
-Vortex level was really nice and open but I had no idea where to go most of the time. It took me awhile to figure out where the objective was at.
-You can only have a primary weapon and a heavy weapon. I really wanted to run around with the Neutron assualt rifle and Path blaster but was only given one choice...

Multiplayer
-Destroyer and Titan's vehicle speed is SLOOOW.
-The removal of vehicle abilities. The car's flip,the truck's ram,jets's barrel roll,and tank's 180 turn.
-Wished the destoyer had some-sort of automatic weapon and not just power weapons.
-the Color customization was WEAK!!! I would like to use the old WFC color palate more then the new FoC version. Hopefully they change that in the next few weeks.

Other then that,What an AWESOME game. Cannot wait til 8/21.

I played it on my PS3 and I'm in love already. Bumblebee may be a tutorial level but there is some good stuff in there. I love the ability to change which hand you hold your gun in to use cover better. Why shouldn't a robot be ambidextrous? Vortex had a nice open level though it was mainly "follow Blast Off's vapor trail" for a while.

I haven't had a chance to test Multiplayer as it kept crashing but I did look at the customisation options. I really hope they let us choose our own colours and not the preselected ones they created. I like the multiple combinations you can have but I hope they will have more either on release or DLC. Also, you can make Galvatron and Emperor Starscream, gotta love that.

Bring it on High Moon, I'm waiting.

It's on the news ticker in MP.
You can sort of see it on the end before I change screens on here:

It's not *supposed* to be available for the demo - apparently there was a glitch where you could use it and several did, but HMS modified the demo a little bit (I've since seen only one person using the sentry since then) so it's better now (again, see above video). And retaliating against some people who obviously unlocked several unlockable things (entire skins, abilities, etc. on one character). Back to my previous post, the fact that HMS is doing anything at all in MP (banning cheaters, fixing some exploitables) is more than we got in WfC. Balance-wise they tweaked it early on and had the exp weekends and such, but, that's about it. I hope the support continues. Activision sure seems to be helping HMS this time around and I cn only guess that's why, and I'm grateful for it. Keep pushing, Activision! Get your published product out there!

Same dilemma and love here.

Seeing Fort Max on the big screen was definitely worth it.

I'm frankly quite sure we'll get our color palette in the full game. Silly for them to add all of the colors in the demo.

God I hope you're right Blurrz

Fort Max on the big screen? What do you mean?
