Good news provided its actually released and they dont pull another Epic move for 6 months
Just seen this: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/100231.html
Looks great, nice and smooth there too.

Quite, but there will be lots of new players around
Yea - if a red guy moves and you are blue - you shoot him, untill he's dead... and the some more into the ground where he lay dead.
cheers.
I sort of thought there was no back story but thought I would ask. Really looking forward to getting this game now.

im hopeing for a Warfare and VCTF map, if theres a DM and CTF thats just a nice bonus, after all we already know what they are like but Warefare and VCTF are the new modes

True, but DM and CTF is the bread and butter of a Frag paced FPS - get that wrtong and the game has failed, regardless of the other modes.
Bring on the DM!

some more info about the demo
"First of all, the demo will not feature a Warfare map. Having played a few of them, I can say that there's a very good reason why: while they all share similar core gameplay, all the maps we played and discussed seem to have a different twist to them. Just sampling one wouldn't give you a very good perspective of what they are like. Torlan_Necris, for instance, is somewhat similar to standard Onslaught, with the addition of the orb. Another we played had one side with a heavily defended base, while the other team had a number of hard-hitting vehicles with which to attack. Still others feature triggerable events to aid in comebacks such as landslides and floods. It's a very versatile gametype and it seems to be much deeper than Onslaught.
DM-HeatRay is planned to be in the demo. It is the destroyed urban environment that features a lone DarkWalker which is dropped in at specified times during the match. The level strongly conveys a UT-like city setting (complete with the occasional train running on an overhead track) is pretty stunning.
VCTF-Suspense is the second demo map. Set on an immense suspension bridge, this level is set up with Axon vs Axon vehicles and the action takes place in three planes: on platforms high above the bridge, as well as on and under the bridge. It has a nice mix of open sniping areas and tight corridors. There's a little water there too if you care to take a dip.
I think the final demo map may be DM-ShangriLa or CTF-OmicronDawn... I'll clarify that tonight. DM-ShangriLa is the map seen in the ComicCon videos and OmicronDawn is the complex CTF map that was named via a contest run recently."
