I'm going to be taking a fairly serious amount of time to do a review of this, but I wanted to lob some preliminary impressions up here in the meantime.

That screenie looks a bit poop. Flashpoint 2 looks better polished. Still, I'll try both and we can see which one we can all get on with more (or get less rage from).
I'm going for the steam version. That also gives them another 10 day's to get any further patching done (UK release is already 'pre-patched' from the German version).
It seems porting is fairly easy, so expect a host of useful mods, utils and 3rd party fixes - probably the best news site is here
