So can you choose sides?, can you go and be a friend of this "jackal", or do you have to stick to a side from the start to the end?, or is it going to be like GTA IV, constantly getting asked to do some stuff from diferent sides en people?, thanks.

(i.e. when you go over it, the whole bush just acts on a hinge and goes under the car). -How simple is the map editor really? Can you make a lake setting with a beach side resort with relative ease? -Can you turn off auto-aim in the options?

Question - if the enemy sees you, can you go and hide in foliage or whatever, and they start searching for you á la Metal Gear Solid/Splinter Cell (and eventually give up)? If they do, is it convincing when they give up? Or do they just constantly know where you are and keep firing? I hate accidentally being and seen losing the option for a stealthy approach again.

As with Fallout 3, this game is gonna offer up a really deep, rich, and satisfying campaign experience and package overall, with anywhere between 50-100 hours of gameplay on your first playthrough, and developed by first-rate, established developers. Along with very promising mulitplayer with a virtually infinite supply of new maps to play in, and an extremely robust map editor to play with, this game will give you your money's worth unlike any other game before. At the very least, it's a HELL of a lot better than your typical average linear shooter, like COD4, where you move on rails from level to level, and ends up lasting only around 4-8 hours total. @Blerk: This is EXACTLY the type of game that I would buy “blind,” and I’m getting it on day one.

Can we limit the number of authors aloud to edit our maps to say 2 or 3 or down to just the original author? After all they will be ranked...

And one of the videos suggests that it is possible to play in a more careful and stealthy way rather than balls-out shooting. It's a shame there won't be a demo, though. This is the sort of thing I would be curious to try but would never buy 'blind'. Just been watching a few videos of this over at GameTrailers and it certainly looks very impressive, graphically.

How is the AI? What is the difficulty level? It seemed in some videos the player could waltz through the game without ever dying, but maybe that was due to being played by a very good player rather than difficulty. Finally what is driving vehicles like, in terms of controls and handling? Anyway the game sounds amazing, really looking forward to it. :) Hi all, I too would like to know what the “slight visual differences” are exactly, and also could you ask what is the native resolution of the game?
