now available for download.
The demo weighs in at around 1.6 GB and offers a detailed tutorial and an early section of the game's solo campaign.

PS there is a command you can run in the demo that unlocks all of the tech and units which will be available in the full game via the debug console. It's rather amusing that they left them all in there and just disabled them via the mission structure rather than disabling them properly. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to look at the cybran and illuminate tech trees, it just unlocks the upgrades themselves.
I've been messing around with them to see how the units have been designed, balance issues aside the illuminate seems to have the most effective units overall. But yeah, some serious balancing needed if the multiplayer is to be any good.
Then again, if it's like supcom 1 the single player and multiplayer ended up having all different stats anyway.

I've ran both on the same machine, and it seems like this time around the requirements aren't as hefty
