Nobody knows yet because :

1. R1 and R3 are not out yet
2. Apparently it's on a Global Server, so if R2 lags then R1 and R3 will lag as well.
3. Rumours going around that MP is based on P2P technology so don't expect every Malaysian to be able to connect with each other if this is the case.
In short, just wait for everyone to get the game first before there's a definite answer.

R1 won't get the full guide book. They only get the mini guide book and it's digital also. R3 should be the same. Bookdepository has the full guidebook for around Rm55 if you really want it. Mine is going to ship tomorrow hopefully.
