That's exactly the basis for most of Anti-Steam criticism: Hearsay.

Can't say I have ever had a problem with Steam, certainly no lag issues, a lot of people need something to blame for any issues they have and of course it couldn't be their PC, as sim ant runs smoothly on it so therefore all other games before and since should as well.

To be honest, I've been using steam for many years. It does work well, although I do find it has very slow download speeds, Well for me anyway, Normally takes 8 - 9 Hrs to download a game, so tend to leave it on overnight. Apart from that it updates without hassle, and is very easy to use. I just prefere a real copy in my hands, than a digital version, but Thats just me.

As to CoD going gold, I think we still have a few more weeks to go before we all start worry. Homefront is coming out on the 18th and only went gold a few days ago. So still plenty of time yet.

Ive not got any problem with steam, i would always prefer a hard copy, but steam as always worked fine for me too.

Steam is very stable and reliable these days.

My receipt from Ubishop UK for my CE version says ' pre-order shipping date Monday 21st March' - if that's to be believed (and I'm seriously doubting it now) shouldn't the game have gone gold by now, its normally about 2 weeks prior to release for a gold deadline, admittedly if Ubi are limiting the disc versions to only them then they don't have to get it out to loads of independent suppliers (Game, Amazon, Play, etc) beforehand ready for a release date, so I guess perhaps you could reduce that lead in time to about a week at absolute minimum - anybody have any thoughts on that?
