Having only played through some of the demo for Haze, I'm not even going to comment on the quality of Free Radical's PlayStation 3 first-person shooter. I will say that the four-player cooperative drop-in/drop-out sounds really promising. But here's the problem -- that feature doesn't work.
According to a recent thread at the official Ubisoft forums, when you try to invite a friend to your game, the game prompts you to download and install a patch. This would be fine, but seeing as how a patch doesn't exists, one can easily see the issue. It's unclear why the game would ship with this ridiculous and significant issue, but let's hope that Free Radical and Ubisoft are on the case.
Any Dtoiders have this issue? How are you enjoying Haze otherwise? Anyone just waiting for the Xbox 360 version*?

In this case, I feel justified
some beta testers didn't do their jobs ... or the company didn't listen them
I better not hear anything about Ubisoft complaining now
Think before commenting, it helps.
Maybe they should have payed a little more attention to the forums/blogs/whatnot and made a better game. Now, it's all on them.
The entire game is based of a Fighters guild quest in Oblivion, I think they even call the fighting enhancing substance nectar.
To summarize:
- I am aware that PS3 owners have friends.
- There is no excuse for their QA to have missed this.

@Quest: I bet you any amount that Sony was so desperate for something, ANYTHING to respond to MS exclusives that they bullied them into delivering a late Alpha or early Beta.
you know what ... i think your right about this
i think what hurt it was all the hype surrounding the game people were expecting the best thing ever made in video gaming.
i just rented it and it was well worth the $10 fee for a few hours of fun.
