If IGN is doing a review 4 days before the game is out, I would imagine SEGA has a lot of faith in the game and has nothing or little to fear.

This is what I was thinking. I remember when ACM was coming out I started to get worried when there were no reviews until the day of. Lifting the embargo this early is definitely a good sign!

When IGN played ACM. It was only the first level, which wasn't a BAD level, IMO. And, it was on PC. So, it was kinda misleading. Had they played the whole game, I would have said, "nope".

The fact that the review embargo ends on Friday kind of indicates that Sega and CA have confidence in their product. Maybe it won't get the best reviews, but it sounds like it will be miles better than A:CMs reception.

Where did you see that the embargo is lifted this Friday?

Was Winter not the protagonist of ACM? Were you not, perhaps, a bit invested (at one time) in one of the biggest flop games in years?

No shame in getting your hopes up for a good game like many of us did and being disappointed, but your attitude re: this game seems a bit sour grapes, is all I'm saying.

I partially did it for ACM. Way before we were allowed to see any "proper" ACM footage. It was shortly after the announce I believe and by that time I didn't have 1k posts so I was able to change my username whenever I wanted to. Then I passed 1k posts and I realized I can no longer change my name so I got stuck with this one. I don't mind it really. My nickname is Hicks since I was in the high school. I am Hicks in Steam, Evolve, Xfire, Playfire, Xbox Live (no longer active), etc. But here there was already an established user with that name and I prefer to use a unique name, rather than using *name123412412521* or *name____* and stuff like that. So yeah, you see where I am coming from.

In the end - choose your nickname wisely :D As I said, once you pass 1k posts you can no longer change it. I am not sure if the subscribers can do that after 1k posts though.

That's been his name since before ACM, I believe.

I'm assuming the irony of your screen name is not lost on you.

What irony? It seems you don't know the military therm at all.

I'm confident this game will be a solid 8. Did gearbox ever have the A:CM campaign playable to the public or was it always the multiplayer?

As long as it's a 7 or higher, then I'm good.  I expect lower scores due more to a weak story if it's not good, but I have no idea how the story plays out.  The embargo lifting on Friday fills me with a lot of hope.

You can't compare the little bits of multiplayer CM shared here and there with the hours of campaign and survivor mode Isolation has. It's obvious that Sega is trying to win us over with how open they've been with inviting people to play it.

I expect reviews to be released much earlier than CM as well.

Exactly. Hardly anyone played ACM. It seems like EVERYONE and their chestburster has played AI.  ;)
