    Well icemanchilled, it's an alpha, not a teaser or a demo, and there's not much you can do to impress people with only one map that has ONE vehicle. Anyways impressing potential buyers of the game isn't the point, myself I find it awesome but like someone mentioned, there's only so much you can do with one map.

    personally, i think a lot of people are going to be quite disappointed with this one when it is released. just a hunch.

    isn't the game just three months away?

    shouldn't it be in beta or finish touch stages? 3 months away and still in alpha for a multi-platform release....

    almost feels like an excuse for problems or not being far a long?

    Or I could be completely wrong on my thoughts and this is normal progress for a major title

    You're assuming that this Alpha release is the latest they have. AFAIK this is the same content that was played on E3.

    As for the game, if people are disappointed in it, its down to their own expectations of it.

    it moves fast at the end. alpha ends today afaik. whatever they gather from this will be applied refined until open beta starts... release that build for a limited time... refined and it goes gold.
