K i'll cover a few things.

On the positive side the sounds are great. I find myself playing as an allied sniper just for the awesome sound of the rifle.

The engine is pretty stable and shows some promise BUT I must say it was not utilized at in any way by having good textures and good lighting. I'm sorry, but its some bland stuff. If there were decent textures and lighting then it would look %100 better.

As for the blast radius problem that was pretty troublesome.

And now for my main point: THE BAD NET CODE
please please fix it in the final version. It is bringing down the whole fun of the game. It is not just me, talking to a lot of people around gamespy it is apparent that there is something wrong. It takes away from everything. Also please have an in game match-making service for internet play, no-one likes having to use gamespy, especially when the game cant be minimized so you have to quit to join a game.

As a final note I believe a demo should not be released if it has as many problems as this has. It only raises doubts about the final product. I personally am not going to buy this product until I see a demo update that addresses the issues raised in this forum so far.

P.S. The running speeds are just right. It feels like you are an half-exhausted soldier wearing 50 pounds of equiptment. Which IS realistic. And the weapons are realistic (Take a bullet in the stomach and feel if you like sprinting around).
