From what little I've seen on the websites, is this kinda like a futuristic BF1942 game?

Yeah, set in the year 2010 I think. The multiplayer master server is not currently working (it's almost impossible to get into an online game), but if you can get a lan game going...this game rocks. Nice graphics, huge maps, and lots of everything. Definitely has potential.

No. And in order to play LAN you need to set up a dedicated server. They really screwed some things up with the demo (multiplayer server, no listen servers...), but none of them really have to do with the game itself. The multiplayer master server is probably fixed by now anyways.

F-ed around with it long enough to uninstall it. Extremely flaky beta.

Yeah, there are still problems. Once you actually get playing it's fun though. Unfortunately in the current state it's still difficult to get into a server and not have the game crash. Hopefully they get everything worked out in the next month or so.

This game really sucks. It has some great ideas, but play control is really awful. plus you can still barely ever log in.

I was unimpressed with the demo as well. Then again, it's not a finished producr so I'll reserve my final judgement until the game ships.
