1. Considering that I myself have seen the actual game in Gamestops and EB's up here, the first point is kinda bogus. Not just some display boxes, but I saw the actual games, in their Ubi-shipped boxes, with the nice little DNR stickers all over them.
2. EGM, Gamespot and a lot of the other mags/sites out there are so bloody biased and/or inaccurate, they're almost funny...almost...
3. As for the whole "rushed" idea...RS:BA was only a mod of the first Rainbow on Xbox. They made no major changes to gameplay. Patch to some of the online glitches, mod in a few new guns...okay, a COUPLE new guns...and make a few maps. This type of thing requires very little man-hours.
Besides, what would make you think that Lockdown was only in the creation stages for only as long as we've known about it...Despite popular belief, a lot of the bigger-named companies are starting to keep tighter and tighter wraps on their ID games, that way A) hype doesn't get too big for the reality (seeing the many disappointments that brought to Halo2), and B) it saves the dev team a LOT of pressure, forcing them to rush it out, skip certain aspects that would make it amazing, and forego the in-depth testing such new games require.
