    No news on bots, but dedicated servers are now available, and a new client patch as well:

    Are there any demos or free Steam weekends? There's no way I'm going to buy an online-only game that only is worth it with a significant time commitment unless I've had a chance to try it out and see if I like it.

    Head over to either our forums or Steam forums as there are guys handing out guest passes for the game! That way you'll get to test it.

    Our forums: http://futuremark.yougamers.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=92
    Steam: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=755

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the offer, but I've just looked at the Steam page and found I have to get round to doing that Win7 upgrade to get DX10/11 before I can play. :oops:

    Sorry to hear about the SH developers being laid off Nick.

    Hope you guys are okay and that the new year brings new opportunities.

    It's definitely a shame that there is no single player mode of any type, even just the multiplayer levels with bots would be cool. Not a fan of online multiplayer, myself.

    It does look nice though, and the gameplay seems pretty cool too.

    I always rate game higher if it has single-player!
    Proper way of doing it was shown numerous times in titles like Q3:TA or UT series.

    Still SH impresses me every time I load it up! I simply love music in the menus - EPIC!
