This Demo is awesome. Keep in mind that I've never played BF1942 and come from a Joint Operations TR and Escalation squad. Most of our teammates are fairly impressed, and given the few bugs (not balance issues!) we could see, this game is going to be a ringer for teamplay and squad-based warfare. I can't see many lone-rangers getting very far, which is fine IMHO. The graphics are a 9 of 10. Set at High, on 1600x1200 res, I'm getting anywhere from 70-100 fps. My relevant specs are as follows:
P4 3.0 Ghz
1 Gb RAM
X800XT AIW
2x 36Gb Raptors in Raid 0
***Which means that you don't need to upgrage to a $2000 system to play the game at full res.
***Also, upgrading to Catalyst 5.6 seemed to eliminate (at least it appears to have,,,) the lockups from the server browser and login. Just make sure to update your video drivers, guys. And don't try to play with "integrated graphics" then complain about the visual quality or lack thereof.
