I fail at downloading.

I found this though: http://www.titaniumtorrents.com/viewtopic.php?t=247
Which I am now trying.

Finallys! Rather short demo for such a whopper. More Heretic:Source than Oblivion - the demo at least was 2 or 3 linear levels, with a glimpse of boss monster at the end.

Should be good though, different ways to do stuff, even if there isn't much variation on where to go. The traps kicked arse - more HL2-like swinging interactive things of death than the repetitive ones in Oblivion.

So a bit more to offer than just a new Heretic, and the multiplayer has the potential to be interesting.

All of that

It's a promising looking game and huge fantasy battles could be very cool if they can actually pull it off.

I haven't bothered with the single player demo, but the multiplayer beta really impressed me. It took me a while to figure out what I'm doing with skills and stuff, but once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed it. Especially getting killed by teammates because I was disguised as an enemy

All of this

It's alot of fun and quite original compared to most games these days.

I wasn't that impressed but I did only play as the knight type class. I'll try again.

Also this game proves I need to think about upgrading my PC, 1024x786

Same here, I managed to get it running fairly well at 1280x1024 by turning off bump mapping and specular (mat_bumpmap 0, mat_specular 0). I think I'm going to upgrade my 6600gt to a 7600gt soon.

It looks like DMoM&M is available for prepurchase on Steam. I haven't decided if I want to get it yet or not.
