Mine was 167MB. I restarted steam and it started grabbing 5.7GB.

I got a chance to at least play single player today. This thing is outright silly. Pure silly.
Eventually something cool will go in here. It's a matter of time.

I got mine. Got about an hour in. Liking it, and maybe it's just the nostalgia talking, but it feels like there's something missing.

Didn't get to play yet. Damn girlfriend came over right after work. Looks like I'll be able to get some time in tonight and tomorrow night. Glad everyone is liking it though. How are the tunes? I've heard a few of them and they sound great. I know I read somewhere that you can use the classic sounds and music too.

The music has been really good, and the mechanics are really nice. I had a couple bugs with enemy movement, but they made me laugh more than be problematic. I haven't done MP yet, but I guess the servers are over loaded with people trying to make accounts.

So I have put a lot of time into this game so far.  It's pretty good and fun but man it is pretty buggy.  Lot's of collision issues in SP and there are some level leaks (where I can fall through the map).  Also, sometimes the heat seeking style rockets don't react as expected.  In the original it would find it's target 99% of the time even if the target is above the player.  In this version they seem to have a hard time if the target is not on the same floor or level as from where it was fired from. 
 
MP is Fudgeing chaos!  I mean like too much chaos at times.  I am all for frantic twitch shooting but if you get into a crowded server..you are lucky to move 5 ft before being vaporized.  I also think that it has a lot to do with smaller maps that I have played. 

All in all I love the game.  The nostalgia alone is worth the 14 (or 11) bucks you spend on it.  Looking forward for LAN play and dedicated server files should be released soon...hopefully.  I am also going to look into making custom maps too....but we'll see how far I get with that.
That's Mr. Deception to you.

How many does a MP map support? This might be a great grab for the August LAN especially since MP does not require interwebs.

Sounds like beltway driving. Should be fun.

What if bodies just had random errors like computers do?
