My impression is that it's more of a cash-in - after all, the tech was already done, and Microsoft needs [i]something[/i] to bring to Xbox gamers, otherwise their platform would look utterly dead compared to PS3 (which is now oozing exclusive content). And I don't like many of the changes they've made. Red vs. Blue multiplayer is much less appealing than COG's vs Locust. There seems to be a larger emphasis on "dressing your barbie" (ie: stylish body camos). It's apparently easier to kill your opponents now (justification is to "speed up" gameplay). Story seems to be straddling some weird line between a seroius depiction of e-day and dudebro one-liners and antics (which makes sense I guess considering the developer is the same one that made Bulletstorm: Dicktits). Granted, I am still interested in experiencing the single-player. I'll pick the game up in a month or two for $20-30.
