It finally seems to work properly, at least for me as of the new patch this morning.

Anyone else put some time into it? It seems pretty fun in small doses. The free roam between missions is entertaining and the matchmaking is pretty fast. I see a lot of crazies in free roam that just chase eachother down the entire time. I did a few DM/TDM missions and one co-op mission and it was pretty fun, although people don't seem to like the co-op ones and keep leaving.

Avoiding it like the plague

I heard that it doesn't work...

Until today didn't work period for most people or would lock up on the tutorial. This morning I didn't encounter one issue or even lag after the game patched. Hopefully it's all worked out.
