A lot of the release day bugs on this game seem like things that Devs could have caught simply by playing the game for 30mins. I don't get it.

eg:
-Fixed malfunction with mouse/keyboard uses in menus
-Fixed HUD problems when using all of the Rainbow's grenades
-Fixed issue of the crosshairs that disapear when taking cover and aiming
simultaneously.

I've come to expect nothing less from UBI. I tried the "demo" for about 30 min and found it to be just as bad, if not worse than, Vegas 1. Definately not getting my $$. It's no wonder they don't release demos before release anymore. Because they know they will lose sells.
