Yep, have to agree that the atmosphere is spot on and what keeps me coming back and probably will for some time. Sounds are also extremely well done in places.
However, wrinkles are wrinkles and the game is far from perfect…. As others have said an 8.5 for the game itself (sans technical difficulties) and a 7 or 7.5 for the game (if you can't ignore the technical difficulties).
For myself, I haven't had as much fun in multi-player since Borderlands, a game I played in multi-player for many months.
