This is what Gearbox head said about the demo:

Randy_Pitchford> The demo I saw was released recently is more than eight weeks old. Lots of work on compatibility, performance, AI and elsewhere has been done since then. It's scary how much work is done in the final stages of a project when hardcore testing is going on.

8 weeks old! thank god! by now it must be much better.

Ever notice how there hase never been much in the games from the Connery era, aside from Goldfinger, as it was the only non SPECTRE mission (possibly because of Kevin McClory)? I asked if SPECTRE would be included this time aroud:

[Admin]Cobby> *jim74454* "I know that the game containes influences from all the Bond movies, but I was wondering if, in multiplayer, elements of SPECTRE, such as a Blofeld skin or the Volcano base in You Only Live Twice were used, because in past games, there have been none?
<_007-Nightfire> [Vifian] Classic villains, allies, and locations from your favorite Bond movies were influential, and are present in the multiplayer experience of Nightfire
We've got a Fort Knox map in multiplayers - you can be Jaws, Oddjob - he even has a unique attack in multiplayer with the hat throw :)
It would take several pages to list the 007 homage type content found in the multiplayer game...
You get the idea...
done

There is hope yet - if it doesn't happen - we can make it!

Hmmm....they practically gave away the ending!

<[Admin]Cobby> *TSC_Q* I understand there will be some cool zero-gravity stages in Nightfire.. can you elaborate on this?
<_007-Nightfire> Low gravity, jet pack environments are indeed part of the game. There are several levels with low gravity elements, including a unique jetpack battle in a low orbit space station.
<_007-Nightfire>
I don't want to blow the ending, but the story is about a megalomaniac with a space program...

Wow - congrats Jim!

I wish they'd either confirm or just say the Volcano level won't be there.

Are they doing this for the following reason:

(a) - it's not included - they don't want to make us mad :)
(:) - it is included - they're just teasing us like mad :)
