done that but can't see anything physically happening, no download progress bar type thing.
You won't - it's a background process which bypasses the GUI. It'll only show up as downloading when it's officially released.
Not keen on the look of this - the textures are low-res, the colour palette used in the environment is very similar to Enslaved (which brings back ghastly memories) but the skillshot database may redeem it from being pants.
MP is a free for all where you can invite 3 friends or play with 3 randoms. You have to assist each other in kills to get the required points to progress to the next wave in a strict time limit so creative kills earn more points & you have to be quite skillful to get the required amount. You do not fight each other only the aliens who join the map in waves so for instance you have to kill 32 in a certain time limit & with a certain amount of points. It uses GFWL matchmaking so unless you invite friends it will just find 3 other random players to join the same map takes about 1 min to start up on average then but depending on how many players active online. Quickest it started for me was about 20 secs longest was 2-3 mins its purely down to how many players online at the time. If you fail the wave then it restarts very quickly usually under 20 secs.
That's it pretty basic MP really more like Team Based Co-Op but SP is solid fun.
My UK Retail copy unlocked yesterday & some bought it on Steam but used a US VPN to bypass activation so do not assume everyone on here is "scum pirates" but your right there are plenty of those around unfortunately but they cannot play online at all which is why they usually say GFWL is horrible etc etc

I did it again, just incase, (i was impatiend) will this mean it'll download twice?
No it won't re-download files that it already has. (At least I think not.)

Just need to wait and see. I think it said it would take just short of 2hours.
shortcut icon is showing in start menu but nothing is loading.

Thanks for asnwering every question I had
Hummm Might wait for the price to drop, as it doesn't have competitive MP (killing other players).People say GFWL is horrible because GFWL is horrible. Pirates don't often say it because they don't really encounter it - it's always bypassed. It's legitimate customers who have the biggest problem with GFWL.
Aye, took me most of an evening to get DoWII to run, and that was a Steam purchase - why it needed GFWL authorisation over the top, I just don't know. Took a few hours to get it to run, then I just played the prologue mission & went to bed.
Indeed. Some games completely remove GFWL, some just crack it and it doesn't do anything but use a 'profle' to save. AWPC just likes to believe he's superior to everyone who dislikes it by labeling everyone as pirates.

At first didn't think much of it but now it's got going, I'm very happy. Didn't realise there were so many of these skill shots - 131 of them plus other bits and bobs you can "collect".
Game is very fun, the mouse control is still ****ty though and it's rather short, but it grips you in well and you can't stop playing it once you're into it.
It's not worth £30 imho, around £15-20 would be more the range I'd look at for this game.
