just bought it myself for reduced price... couldnt resist to see for myself....
took three days fiddling and forum searching to set it up at least somehow usable...

i think it depends much on the hardware you have whether you can already enjoy it..it is a performance hog extraordinaire..... if you have latest 1,5 or more gigabyte Nvidia Vram card, gtx 570 or 580 you might be not too disappointed about its performance.. good and fast CPU of course too... somewhere over 3,5 ghz it should be i guess to have the game run rather fluent with only the occasional hickup... or AMD 2 Gbyte of course... but as usual with Maddox games seems to run better on NV...

Dual gpu and SLI or Crossfire cards seem to still have their problems... it took me a special laucher program (Radeon Pro) with the CF profile of another game (Lost Plante DX10) to even make Clod start using CF (5970 dual gpu here)... with CF on and medium settings (landscape shading, buildings) mostly and without shadows (!!! looks bad) i get good framerates and fluent gameplay... but Multiplayer menues are distorted like that...
soo... no properly working Crossfire...SLI i dont know exactly but what i read here still a problem too...

Radeon card owners of 5xxx HD generation still need to delete ubilogo.wmf in order to have their card running on full speed... so even some basic bugs are not yet eliminated...

But whatever hardware you have,... you will encounter numerous other bugs.. the most annoying and immersion killer nr. 1 for me (apart of CTD) are UFO like rolling bogeys... AI is rolling without influence of gravity or so.. they wiggle from side to side in a second...looks ridiculous, absolutely no no...

But it seems there is some progress... i would wait for the next one or two patches until getting started with BOBII unless you have extremely potent hardware and are willing to invest a lot of time to get it going....
so i have shelved it and wait....
