It isn't even a demo yet, pb. It's a beta. Betas generally do suck; they've still got a month to fix it. I'm a battlefield aficionado, so I've already pre-ordered it.
I can post a quick review of it on here in early November (by that time I should have picked it up and played it enough) if you want to be cautious.
For trying.-

BF3 Review
*I'll edit this as I play more and try different game modes.*
Graphics- It's very hazy, making long distance shots tough. PC graphics are great, though. The sun blinds me too much; it looks like it's going supernova in most maps.
Vehicles- Ground vehicles are very easy to control. However, there aren't any ATVs or other small, fast vehicles, which makes catching up to your team after being left behind a pain. I get more roadkills (very fun, I got 9 in 5 minutes) than regular kills in tanks because the splash damage is pretty much non-existent. Helicopters are nay-impossible to control- The roll is exaggerated to the point of insanity in the Little Bird. I've only used the ground assault jets, not the fighters, but I'm having trouble controlling the speed for now (I mostly get stuck in never ending loops).
Weapons- I'm having trouble sniping. The sniper rifles don't do enough damage, and holding your breath to steady your shot doesn't do diddly, leaving the only option to use a bipod while prone or on an object. Add the fog to this, and I snipe better with an assault rifle on single-shot (I enjoy the options for setting the firing mode, though. Most primary weapons have single shot and full auto settings, but others have burst settings as well).
Attachments/equipment- I enjoy the three attachment slots and multitude of attachments. I also like how you earn attachments for your weapon by using it (as opposed to unlocking weapons you'll never use). Unique equipment for different classes is a plus, as are the two equipment slots.
Gameplay- I'm lagging a bit, although I believe it is just my personal connection. I have trouble leaping in windows, and often cannot jump over small barriers like I should be able to. They fixed marking (press select while aiming near an enemy and your team sees a red triangle over his head), making bush-men less invincible. Thank God they fixed the sensitivity. If you're used to a high sensitivity, the game may take a while to get used to. Which brings me to my next point; the game isn't too noob friendly. It took me about an hour to start getting positive KDs due to the different sensitivity and not knowing the maps.
Miscellaneous- The DICE team is working/promised to work on most of the glitches and negative features I mentioned, so it should improve in time. The game isn't very noob friendly. There's no cheap knifing! You have to switch to a knife to use it, and it takes more than one slash to get a kill with it (I've never been able to figure out how many, as I rather enjoy executing my enemies from behind).
Bottom line- Definitely get it if you like first-person shooters and own a decent PC. If you've got some money to spend, I suggest you buy it. Rent or borrow it from a friend if you're not sure. If you are a Battlefield fan, then WHY DIDN'T YOU PRE-ORDER IT?!
Reviews- "This is a huge game by anybody's standards, with a comprehensive singleplayer, meaty co-op and gargantuan multiplayer, delivering more content than several of today's triple A titles combined." - 5/5 GameSpy.com
"With dozens of players battling across nine massive maps in tanks, jeeps, helicopters, jets, or on foot, multiplayer matches feel like a genuine war rather than a small-scale skirmish." - 9.5/10 GameInformer.com
"...the multiplayer component is worth the price of entry alone.” - A- 1UP.com
“Battlefield 3 offers an unforgettable, world-class multiplayer suite that's sure to excite shooter fans, whether they fired their first bullet in Battlefield 1942 or have just now heeded Battlefield's call of duty.” - 9/10 IGN.com
“But when DICE is doing what it's always done best, Battlefield 3 is a uniquely mesmerizing multiplayer game with a seemingly endless number of ways to feel like a success.” - 4.5/5 Joystiq.com

Re: BATTLE FEILD 3
Single-player is all but a necessity for multiplatform games, considering that multiplayer is a paid service on one of the major consoles. Still, it might be time for EA to give DICE a pass and let them make an online-only game. Battlefield 3 is the third time they've attempted to create a single-player campaign and fallen short of the mark. The result is one of the most lopsided games in recent memory.
The campaign focuses on the efforts of a United States Marine and GRU operative to stop a terrorist group called the PLR. It's a much more ambitious storyline than the "wise-cracking dudes save the world again" plots of the Bad Company games. The story is told mostly through flashbacks, as the Marine is interrogated by the CIA. The playable moments of the game are these flashbacks. The dialogue of this interrogation, though painfully bad at times, often hints at the past events we'll soon see. These little bits of mystery were enough to keep me playing until the end.
Unfortunately, the campaign's not all that fun. It shares the same problem as Bad Company 2's campaign: it doesn't play to the strengths of the Battlefield franchise at all. The appeal of BF's multiplayer are the vast battlegrounds and the countless tactical opportunities offered to players through the deep selection of weapons, equipment, and vehicles. All of that is completely missing from BF3's campaign. The solo journey is a highly linear experience that tells you when it wants you to get in a vehicle and kills you if you try an alternate route to an objective.
Part of the reason the game is so linear is due to technology. The Frostbite 2 Engine is capable of rendering very dense urban environments but the trade-off is that not all of it is destructible. You can punch through a few walls here and there but you won't be leveling too many buildings. All those toppling skyscrapers you saw in the trailers were, sadly, scripted.
While a corridor shooter can still be fun, BF3's A.I. enemies aren't equal to the task. The enemies almost seem bored to be there. They either stand in one spot or approach along seemingly predetermined routes. Their accuracy is absurd on Normal and Hard so you're forced to play through at a snail's pace, slowly picking them off one by one from behind cover.
The ways that DICE tries to break up the monotony of the foot soldier segments fall flat, too. In one mission, you take on the role of an F-18 pilot flying above Iran. However, you're the gunner so the sequence is just rail shooting. The visually stunning take-off and tense dogfight are followed by a dull replica of the AC130 segments from the Modern Warfare games.
