The game is great, Skybird. No, better than that. It's superb. I was one of those that was really cynical about Battlefront doing a modern warfare game but they really delivered. I'm sure you will read stuff about how the nature of this sort of modern conflict is far too asymmetrical and geared in the US's favour. But I've got say, a company of fanatical Hezbollah armed with an RPG or two in every squad can really ruin your day..
If you decide to buy the game - and I hope you do - it's really worth buying all the expansions. They each add some fantastic stuff. You won't be buying it from an outside server. I can pretty much guarantee it. If you still have problems with the demo, I'll download it and email it to you, If you like. like I said, I had no problem d/l it in less than ten minutes.
Yeah, I am a Battlefront fanboy....

They make truly exceptional games that deserve to be played by a larger audience. If you buy it and have problems, pm me and I'll try my best to help.
Darn it. This thread has made me hunger for a new pbem game of Normandy.....
