Well I am kind of glad I missed out on the first couple weeks of open beta testing phase of Heat Online. From reading through their forums it seems like they are having many server problems with the server crashing, not being restarted right away, and people losing levels and accounts.
I'm already pretty disappointed that I will have to start all over anyways and if I had been playing I might have lost some of my progress from their bugs.
I also learned that they removed solo capture the flag and replaced it with team capture the flag. I'm not sure if I will like this change. I really liked the old style capture the flag with driving away from everyone and planning your course of action. Although I can see how team capture the flag could be fun with teammates blocking the flag carrier and I'm sure really organized teams that are communicating well would be tough to beat. Maybe they are putting in team capture the flag to try and bring the racing crews together and give it a better sense of community.
Since this game is pretty much a solo-adventure it is called an MMO. But the sense of community isn't really there yet.
