Will the FULL game be finished by then? Something tells me that the MP might not be done, or it will still contain a bunch of bugs (remember the MP for Half-Life wasn't complete until a bit later). I'm thinking they will release it first without the MP only SP, and it will still be a bit buggy. But then the good part is, they can prolly send us new content via Steam, so when the MP DOES come out, you can get it there, along with anything else that might not be "finished". I'm hoping that at least, the SP portion will be out on the 30th! :D

Christmas! Don't you there would be a demo/benchmark already out if it was 30th, doh!
