I was pleasantly suprised with this demo, after playing the shit that was Pacific Assault. The air drops make the game, no doubt, but it has some interesting control mechanisms. While these are clearly inspired for consoles, it converted well to the PC.
Most noticeably, when you pull to sight, you can't move, only lean. But you can go to prone from there, and also peer over cover. It's interesting.
Also, accuracy in sights is a skill earned. You will notice it is pretty hard to use the sights at first, but when you gain the marksmanship awards it gets better. Some people will absolutely hate that, but I don't mind it.
Definitely give the demo a try. This game could be a sleeper hit.
