Actually no - I just had a game online and it restored my faith somewhat. Minas Tirith, I was on the bad side as usual. It looked initially like it would go the same way, but the team really fought well, and despite being 500-700 I still thought we could win it. I was alternating as the warrior and the archer, and also playing as the troll. When I saw the Witchking has been defeated, I thought it was over, but the team rallied and at around 700 points we gained control over all the control points, and won the game. The first time I've won a game online. It was really closely contested and lasted a good while. I think there's hope yet.
I do think though that these classes would have worked better:
Infantry - as Warrior class
Archer - as Archer class (Uruks get crossbowmen)
Breaker - Bezerker type unit
Spearman - Spear and shield, defensive
Ranger - Like scout but with bow and decent melee. Mix of archer and warrior, but not as good as either
Standard Bearer - Can heal and rally troops

Honestly the more I play this demo the better the game feels. Always seem to lose on the Shire level (though I joined a game late today and saw a Balrog rampaging around) but the Minas Tirith level I've had success with both sides. Infact, I even got to play as the Witchking earlier so well I was doing.

haha man, I just played my first level of this game...and i loved it!!
I played minas tirith....Its great fun bounding around shooting arrows and stabbing people from behind,
But it is ridiculously unbalanced, like mages can kill everything man, its so stupid...
Eventually I found myself following the crowd and becoming and archer! But I enjoyed playing as a warrior....I found the game in general a bit hard though...
And i cant help but think they didnt put much thought into the different character classes, and by this i mean, they all feel exactly the same...

The game does get better than more you play it, I'm really enjoying it now. I find myself playing as the Archer and Warrior. Never touch the Mage or the Scout. Infact, the sneaky Scout cunts piss me off more than the Mages do now. And playing as Evil on the Shire and just seeing the Balrog killing the last gang of Hobbit Archers was poetry in motion. Very much looking forward to the full game. Unless its two separate levels, as I understand it you'll be able to go up much further into Minas Tirith, I think those barricades at the top are makeshift for the demo. Learning not to take the game too seriously, and just viewing it as fun is the key.
Infact, what I'm now most pissed off about is Pandemic's apparent choice to only use music from the original one-disc releases of the soundtracks, rather than the more recent, complete recordings releases. I hope it is just for the demo, otherwise they're probably missing out on something like 6 hours worth of music. And this includes some of the best action pieces from the trilogy - the Prologue, full Amon Hen, tons more Helms Deep music, the full siege of Gondor, Pelennor Fields, and, most significantly, the Ride of the Rohirrim.
And the demo is now out on XBox marketplace.
