yea the online community is quite large ATM...you should be able to find games within a minute or less...you sometimes may be unlucky and have to wait a few mintues but because your playing against 360 owners and PC players...theres a larger list of players to fight

Theres a rumor that there arn't any games going, but it's total hogwash.  Lots of cool people playing this game.  And yes good enough to buy fo' sho'.  A thinking man's online FPS.

Expect training mode for the first hour. That's not a bad thing cuz the game would have a monstrous learning curve without the training.

The online community is fun and it works out since the game is very team based. Don't be a jerk or self helping and you'll have fun.

OH and if your loading screen takes unusually long DON'T QUIT! Its probably trying to set you up with a vista guy and you get 20 gamer points just for playing someone who's on vista!

the game is REALLY really fun, and the people that play it aren't jackasses like in some gears of war situations.

 

to prove my point: for example, if you join a server with friendly fire on in gears, i can gaurantee that in 1/3 of the games you join people are just tk'ing each other, as opposed to shadowrun, where friendly fire is ALWAYS enabled, and there is barely any purposeful team killing. the fact that you are able to vote kick people helps too in sticky situations

Best community for a game I've played yet.  Gears, GRAW, Rainbow Six.... all filled with jerks.

 

Shadowrun is great, everyone helping each other... reviving each other when downed, formulating strategies... I think it's a major part of the "x factor" which makes people LOVE a game which got mediocre ratings from the big magazine's and websites.
