Wow this is an old topic. Well I gave it a try this free weekend, and it wasn't impressive. There's no way to filter servers, and the load times were stupid bad that I just gave up trying. When in the game, I found it to be little more than deathmatch. There's objectives, but nobody seems to care. The grenade launcher was a lot of fun, but I'm not sure what the flare is meant to do but blind me. Maybe it's a bug, but it seems to almost suck light into the center, making everything around the bright middle black. EMP was almost too powerful.
I don't understand why they used this game to show off DX11. There's one shade of grey for the asteroid and one 'shade' of black for space. At no point does it justify the power-hungry engine. Heck, the backdrops in EVE are more pretty than SH.
When I did the free weekend, I used silent running loads of times to get behind the lines, and get the drop on people. If I needed to get an update of the game, I quickly went to full running and a quick look around told me everything I needed to know, without a realistic chance of someone seeing me. Rather useful if the round is becoming a bit of a stalemate. It's not like you need to silent run all the time.

Oh and the gameplay is pants, too.
