This is a great game and anyone looking for something with a litle more teamwork and strategy should really give this game a try. The full game is more polished than the demo and I think the developers did themselves a disservice by putting a rushed demo up. I like to compare this to Ghost Recon before it was butchered into GRAW. I know its not exactly like GR but it has alot of the same feel with added features that really make it even more strategic and focused on team strategy rather than everyone just running and gunning for the highest kill count. I was in the COD4 Beta and while COD4 is beautiful and fun, it is extremely fast paced which is fun in its own right, I just prefer something that involves a little more tactical team play. In COD4 you really don't have the time to call an enemies position out, the action is just too fast. I only bring up COD4 because it seems that everyone wants a comparison of the two which is impossible because they involve completely different types of gameplay.
I really find it patheic that the reviews for this game are so low and people will base thier decision to buy or not to buy on these unfair and ridiculous reviews. This shows just how much games are being dumbed down for the masses. I guess this is a cycle we will have to endure much like the cycle TV shows go through as in the case with "reality shows." The real shame is that people are passing up on one of the best Tactical shooter to come down the pipe in quite awhile.
Anyone that might be on the fence about this one, do yourselves a favor, at least rent it. Spend some time with bootcamp, wargames and unlock the scopes for the weapons and increase your soldiers attributes. The worst that could happen is that your out 5 bucks and you'll get some gamerpoints at the same time. You may find that its actually quite addictive and you'll meet some great gamers along the way. Make sure you join servers with True Soldiers tuned on (should have been defaulted ON) and you'll probably find yourself having a great time.
If I have one complaint about this game is that other than the free download map, the number of maps are a little limited and it could have used more. The maps seem quite large at first but as everyone developes a strategy they quickly shrink. Hopefully we will see some more maps down the line if enough people get involved with this game. I also wished the developers had given the option to limit Artillery Strikes and the 203 grenade launcher. I don't mind getting blown up by a hand tossed grenade because of the logistics involved in throwing that grenade but the 203 grenade launcher can get spammy.
