Quickiefied

The absence of full online multiplayer at release throws us into somewhat of a wrench. Modern Combat: Sandstorm was supposed to get online MP, and they’re still working on it, it seems.

The point we’re trying to say is this: don’t buy the game if the only feature you’re looking for is online multiplayer. The game succeeds and stands on its own even without full online multiplayer. The fact that they’re coming out with a FREE online MP update in the future is just icing on the cake.
