I've been playing the demo a bit and it's hard to gauge how good the game is going to be when you don't even have a defibrilator, but I've noticed a few things.

First, the infantry movement is horrible compared to BF2.  Even w/o heavy armor you are slow as hell and it feels like your moving through tall grass the entire time.  Hopefully with the enhanced sprint and sprint recovery this will get better, but this definitely is a drawback.

Second, the vehicles have been dumbed down quite a bit.  Sad part is, noobs have still killed me 20+ times already by crashing the transports into the titan, hillsides, trees, etc. even tho flying that heap is ridiculously easy.

Third, the base weapons aren't good. . .at all.  The SMG for the assault class w/o the heavy armor is ok, but the rest stink.  I suppose this was done to make the unlocks worthwhile.

Lastly, there are a lot of kinks in the demo.  Like having the mini map stuck on screen when the titan is blowing up, things like that.  Hopefully those things are just in the demo and won't be in the final game.

Still, I like the futuristic setting and some of the other maps look like they'll be cool to play.  Kinda tired of slogging through Karkand and Wake over and over so I guess I'll be making the jump to 2142.

I agree with everything you said, especially about the dumbing down of air and land vehicles. But I'll still be getting bf2142. Why? CUZ IT'S A BATTLEFIELD GAME GOTTA CHECK IT OUT:D

But in all seriousness, I will not force myself to play an inferior game over bf2, if it comes to that. I just hope the bf2 community stays large;)

Oh, and does anyone else think Dice lacked imagination for making bf2's stock equipment/abilities/etc unlocks? It's a new game, why not make totally new things:/( Yes, I know not all the unlocks are from bf2).
