So the open beta is approaching. Obviously I'm rather looking forward to this, but I'm also curious as to how different it will be from the first complete version and I'm hoping team members can shed some light on this. Will there be areas of the mod which haven't been finished yet, or will it all be as polished as possible? How much time do you team members think there will be between releases? And would you advise downloading the open beta or waiting for the first complete release?

As an aside, any plans on magazine cover discs being used? All this is useful for me to know, since my internet connection isn't that great.
