Demo was mildy okay... guess I just needed a shooter fix real bad (and yes, you can get past the Zero bombing your position - how I hate *boo you're dead* level design...)
Some privacy issues though. MOH: PA, a *singleplayer demo*, tripped SP2's firewall. Either system specs or 'anonymous usage statistics'. Would have preferred to be better informed though. I guess they really *don't* expect you read the UELA these days. Oh bother...
