I just downloaded this the other day and did my qualifying yesterday. It was funny, during one of my qualifying rounds when I was supposed to go through a series of rooms and kill the enemy, I kept shooting the civilians for fun. They put me in the brig for a while. I'm probably going to join a game online later today to see what it's all about. Don't know about this no respawn though; I like UT2k4 where you respawn immediately. Of course, this looks to be a lot slower paced game so maybe it will be okay.
