The developers were put under a ton of stress to get the game finished in such a short timespan, and they were underpaid. And a day after release, they were all fired. Also, it's the fault of the Army (the ones pressuring the developers) for not putting the game download on multiple locations such as filefront, rapidshare, etc. This game is used as a recruting (or propaganda) tool, so they cut down on the gore to suit teens near recruting age, which is around 15-17. The U.S. Army admitted to this themselves.
And yet more disappointment. Knocked out of the race on lap 5 because people refuse to be PATIENT. PATIENCE IS THE KEY TO SURVIVING THIS RACE. I don't know how myself or anyone else could make this clearer.
