it is made by Ubisoft, it is going to be either generic or boring.

how long will we have to wait for the first 3 patches which will make it playable?

I heard nothing was tuned down difficulty wise compared ot the PC version for the 360 version. Are those of us with a 360 going to find it hard to get off the first level, or are PC users going to have the game completed within an hour?

Can you ask them if it's going to be a good game or just another tech demo with monotonous gameplay?

Without making this sound like the RE5 argument, I would like to know why they didn't make the main character black? Don't get me wrong, I'm not accusing them of racism; I just think it would have been a great opportunity to have a black protagonist in a big-budget FPS - especially as it's set in Africa.

Is this where I ask questions ?

I would like to know why

1) Prone has been left out ?
2) Assault Multiplayer Mode has been left out ?
3) Is there going to be a UK showcase before official launch date ?

Thank you

well i reckons this is a good place to ask a question, i'll try later in case tho.

what about ze animals??
not a lot has been said about the animal life in the game, i saw on the kenya video that you were scoping out all sorts such as lions and cheetahs etc but i havnt seen many in the videos..

well my question is kinda two but

first:
what will the range of animals be in the game, which breeds, will we see lions?

second:
will the animals be available in the map editor?

Oh great. It starts 15 minute before I have to board a plane.

I'm very interested in this game though so make sure you ask lots and lots of important questions!

Ah, I didn't know that. Let's hope so. Still, I think it would have been a good opportunity to have an entirely black protagonist, though. Can't think of many western games where the main character is anything other than a white male.

Questions for L.P.

1. Multiplayer - tell us something?! You've a month til launch. We can guess from the achievements that you're going to have COD style player ranking in tandem with a more battlefield class-ranking system, so what kind of persistence can we expect? And duh.. Why so limited on the game modes? I quote, "We want our multiplayer to make you feellike you are a mercenary fighting in a bush war in Africa," says Hocking (Creative Director). "We're creating a real experience as opposed to just saying, "Look, we have three modes or six modes or whatever." So far you've announced three modes, Deathmatch, TDM, and CTF.. what does that say?

2. The map editor is incredible, and replayability will be near infinite (assuming good news on the above) - so question - what are your DLC thoughts, more artifacts for us to model with?

3. Tell us about player revives (in SP and MP!)?

Just to sound like a colossal suck-up, I was honestly initially skeptical when I first heard this was being made, I figured it was Ubi trying to get in on the attention going to Crysis. Then the more I've seen about it, the more alluring it gets. The setting looks awesome, as does the free-roaming aspect and the level of detail they've got going on. I'm still holding off on building a new PC, but I know if this delivers, it'll be hard to hold off much longer.

Oh and lol Ubisoft, more like GENERICsoft rite?

I'd like to know what the differences between console and PC versions are, if any.

Hehe - I love how posters just jump on the 'backlash-bandwagon', please go out and work on a game and then I'll come along and crap all over it with spiteful comments too...
