The worst part for me is the new air vehicles are as easy to fly as a tank is to drive, they do no real dmg to anything other than other air vehicles, due to the fact theyre paper as well as the extremely heavy guided aspect against them. (even takes multiple direct missiels to take out infantry). Being a BF2 vet pilot, this is like a worst nightmare scenario. I wont comment on the infantry weapons, since it does appear prety much all aspects of infantry are cut out of the demo. Walkers seem a bit too strong. Also everything appears to have anti air in 1 form or another. Gameplay is a tad slow, even the anticipated titan mode seems just a small variation from conquest mode as the anti titan missiles continue to barrage away at enemy after the shield is down. This prevents the need for the awaited storm the enemy titan aspect. Titan missiels auto fire is also a bit of a dissapointment and one of the thigns leading more to the "just another conquest game" aspect. It is also, yes a bit dark. All those things combined make the worst part the fact that its going to take players from bf2 gamer base. That or perhaps the fact I might actually be one of the ones playing bf 2142 for some illogical reason, perhaps I just enjoy camping the enemy titan in a fighter and killing everything that tries to take off.

All in all the general concensus atm is, get in a mech and blast away.
