Yeh you is right the sound does stutter now and some combat sounds stop alltogether at times, well they do in FG anyways.... The griff has always been bugged you seem to get the black screen if you stand on platform and select a place to go at the same time as another person does ... well thats what causes it for me....
Also I do realy agree that stuff should be fixed first likes, Its a bit like putting fuel in a car that has a flat tyre
I must say though the guys on this dev team are a lot more friendly and responsive than the other bunch, I guess if it was down to them they would fix this crap.. but there is always company deadlines etc and sombody above you who "thinks" they know better...
Back on topic a bit....
Yes a more interactive world would be better.... As the only things you gotta work out at the moment is what mob to kill to get the one you want to pop... Oh and also where the hell you should be to make that happen lol
