Anybody else been playing the demo?

The WWI-with-WW2-tech premise is fun, the artistic style is incredibly coherent, and the gameplay is pretty damn fun. Only problem is that while the guns have oomph and are nifty, enemies don't drop reliably. The second demo mission gives you a shotgun, a machinepistol, a paratroop semiauto rifle, and some grenades.

The shotgun has gibbed guys at close range, but done nothing at longer ranges, the machinepistol is lethal at twenty meters but not twenty-one, and the paratroop rifle varies wildly between lethal headshot and innefectual NERFgun.

But the atmosphere and stylings kick ass.

I love that semi... It's got a scope on it (Fixed, low zoom...), great all purpose weapon in my opinion... I've never had a headshot out of that fail to drop the target, of course, you gotta be somewhat near them to get a headshot with it... It ain't the sniper gun, though it beats that horrible machinegun.

Now if only it was in the one and only deathmatch map they shipped with the demo. sigh
