I play as Sniper mainly, and while it's still fun (and so easy to snipe, compared to other games) I like how this update sounds. I didn't read all of the posts, but I want to say this: maybe classes are "designed" to be played one way or the other, but how you play them effectively depends...
Well, transformation is going to be quite powerful, so lvl 20 seems somewhat reasonable to me.
I'm just curious if they will introduce tricycles as mounts, or if they go for rocking horses.
Which class will you level first?
I'll play sniper and get me a level 7 backplate and a level 3 third eye vs. the spies. Autotracking level 9 later, as I assume it won't be cheap and can only be bought at that engineer shop. And - of course - lvl 5 corner-shooting. You'll all have a hard time :D

I have played Freelancer 5 times min. and it still has such an entertaining story, as well as Jade Empire, Fable, Mass Effect and HL2...
I got 4GB under Vista and TF2 runs on Ultra high, as well as everything else.
So yes, get yourself some more ram, it doesn't cost anything these days compared to what I had to pay for my old DDR1 ram :D
I wasn't excited about it first, but because I've become a Valve Fanboy over the years, I'll try it out. What gets me about this game is Coop! Long time has passed since my last SvenCoop session with friends, and I'm eager to kill some zombies with them now :D
Dumb:
WTF is up with them, that internet-released titles won't be released world-wide at the same time? There are no borders on the internet, maybe some developers need to get that hammered in their heads again?

News post from today.
Seems they have been working on _something_, though I won't get my hopes up too high before I see some material.
Absinthe, to the "ubermensch" thing:
In German it's spelled "?bermensch" with a "?", in google this gives me more hits with nazi than with nietzsche. As you said, it originates from Nietzsche, but the Nazis took his term and used it for their ideology while shifting from its original meaning...
