replyLOL, beta demo? The full game feels like a beta. I bought this for $39.99 and I played it for about 30minutes then had to uninstall it.

Yeah, I had high hopes since it was developed by the same guys that make the Desert Combat mod for BF1942. There are some great design decisions, but overall, the game just isn't much fun. It feels too 'dumbed down' and arcadey.

It's not a bad game. I actually like many of the ideas they were putting into the game. They should have given the game another 3 months of polish. As far as design wise, I just didn't like the Halo-esque healing. BF type games should have medics, just as much as engineers because it forces teamwork.

This is true because you don't have to deal with corporate bullshit, boards of directors who never play games, and other business end crap when you are making the game yourself.
Kaos has definitely had a run of bad luck. After Desert Combat rocked the modding realm, EA picked them up to make BF2, then dumped them the week the game was released. Now their first game has pretty much failed because it was pushed out too soon and there was little to no advertising behind it.
I think that Kaos Studios probably had to compromise immensely just to get funded for Frontlines.
