Grabbed this last night from fileplanet.com and to be honest it's just Pandora improved. I can confirm that Museum is back but the major disappointment is that the map is identical to Pandoro's version, appart from a few different lasers in various places, there is also another map which allows you to smash various walls through using grenades. However I do like the new swing punch which actually works well if someone is behind you. I think I expected too much as the graphics are also the same (yeah I know on it's on the same engine) but I hoped for improvements to the maps not the same ones thrown in.

Also the fact that you can do co-op moves apparently (haven't been on it much) and also exchange items seems quite nice, thing is from the pics I've seen Hospital has been improved, I just hope Museum does before release. The objectives are also slightly different too.

I'm more looking forward to the co-op mode now really, I'm just a little disappointed that it's nothing that much different from Pandora, wait until it's free to download next week unless you subscribe to file planet.

If anyone fancies some good games let me know!

HA!

No, it's Spikecast's new d*ldo, the 6800 represents the number of volts that will be sent up his ass crack. Haven't you seen his picture?

LOL..no it's a graphics card. As for your question and bullets, yes the new gadgets are in, the cloaking device is there, basically you can activate it for around 8 seconds and you cannot do any sudden jumps or run when using it, you can however crouch and run without it wearing off but again once the time is up the blue bar will charge up for you to use it again. Anyway like Ali said it's just way better on live it just plays better using the Xbox pad too. I love the way you can switch items with your team-mate as well as pinning the spy down, I'll be on later if anyone fancies a game!

I quite like the way that the merc now has the option to pick 3 weapons, standard one from Pandora, Uzi and shotgun, they also seem good for different levels and situations. I also like the way that at certain points you can give your buddy a leg up and also the way that you can go back to any sticky cam that you have previously planted. All in all I can see it being quality on the Xbox as it's more suited to that I think rather than the PC. I've also heard it's now April 1st which is fecking annoying.

Yeah, gadgets-wise, are you able to test the effectiveness of the cloaking device? I.e. does it show up on EMV. I hope it does.

Is that a car?

All I ever wanted is Pandorra with the glitches fixed and more levels. Seems to me that it does all this and lots more.

Does the demo have any of the new gadgets in it?

Played a bit of Pandora Tomorrow online on the PC and it just wasn't the same experience as on LIVE. It is the only game I have come across which is far better online on LIVE. I no longer have a PC headset and neither do the majority who play it on the PC.

I will grab the Beta once I have the Internet setup again next Friday.

I've had another bash on it earlier and I'm quite liking it now, the new level seems varied enough and the performance is excellent on my 6800 GT.
