I was one kill away from being awarded my Pave-Low killstreak when my over-eager teammate prematurely fired his weapon. Confused as to what target he was attempting to acquire, I scanned the area towards where his bullets were traveling. Unfortunately, he was shooting at a fellow teammate and giving him benefit of the doubt, I'm assuming it was because he couldn't see the "friendly" tag identifying him as such. Consequently, my original targets shot me.

I'm sure that many, if not most, of the folks that played the demo liked it. I did not. Yes, I only played it for 45 minutes, but after 15 it lost me. By whole package, I mean the game did not grab me and hold me there, I wasn't looking forward to playing the full version, it's just not interesting enough to me. The graphics, are okay. I have no problem with the McFarlane style, but I keep coming back to what you get for how much is charged. If you were to stand The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Premium Edition at 40 bucks, and this game (from what we have seen so far) at 60, Reckoning leaves a bit to be desired. I can't help but compare games side by side, but I try to keep them reasonably within the same genre when I do. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy it, I'm saying if I were to buy it, it would be after it came down in price. Ultimately, the choice will be yours, there are many games out there I like, that others hate to the point of thinking I am crazy for still playing them. If I were to review it, it would certainly score much higher than Blackwater. @ThreeSix I wanted to be clear at the beginning that it was a demo, and that I wanted everyone who may be interested in the game to give it a shot themselves, also acknowledging that my opinion is not necessarily the only one folks should consider.

I also got a double headshot with the torque bow! After that game I was trapped in a corner by my teammates and I got my head popped.
