Despite this initial response, I bucked up, and played through the demo, and I'm surprised to say, that it's actually pretty nifty.
The tactical map is back, and it's actually quite useful. As squad leader, you can hang back, and issue chained commands per the map interface. Just like the earlier iterations of the R6 series, you can issue these commands simultaneously, or stagger them. The best part about the issued commands (and perhaps even my favourite game feature), is that you can use the cross-com (the g key) and watch through the soldier's cam as he follows the commands. The shaky-cam running is a bit over the top, but the clearing and zone covering actions are spot-on.
So, I guess I'll be getting this game, despite the visuals (oh, they aren't that bad if you force 1600x1200 and "high" character models through the renderer_settings.xml file.

The game is ok but controlling my zombie soldier squad feels too awkward to do it quickly and effectively Leaving most of the work up to me. Does anyone else find that the follow command actually just calls them to your current position and makes them hold?

Looking and moving around doesnt feel right. The AI and command system is poor. Some of the controls just dont feel right for a PC FPS game (changing weapons).
Uninstalled.

If this looked like the 360 game I might think 'oh well time to upgrade' but it doesnt; it looks like shit.

Gameplay is okay, squad AI seems quite bad. Hope someone does a tactical shooter clone sometime soon; Ubisoft haven't really had a good one since Raven Shield.
damn this game is prettier on my 360 + 32 inch lcd.
i think it looks like ass compared to the 360 version, doesnt seem as smooth, interface sucks.

Did they really use the original Xbox's Ghost Recon to port to PC?
No way... did they really do that...

This demo is ok, but not very impressed like I was hoping to be.
