There's also the anhialation gametype you forgot, it's basicly what the ticket-count gametype is, without the tickets, it's more of the traditional RTS style.
Also, it's light and heavy cover
EDIT: Can you play axis in the demo?

.They have some rocket arty, which fires a 6 rocket barrage at a large area. Couldn't get it to do anything useful, they're so spread out and take ages to land!
I went for the Blitz tree and tried for a Tiger, but by the time I'd summoned it they'd run out of tickets. It's stats seemed to be twice those of the Panzers I had running about though
.Ronin is 100% right, stay away from machine gunners in buildings!
Anyone been able to use snipers effectively yet? They seem to miss a lot, can't snipe gunners in open tanks or on AT positions and they never shoot out the useful side of a building
.In fact I can't seem to order my guys to face a direction in a building, and I can only tell if their facing a useless direction when it's too late
.The Allied computer seems to rush out with engineers during the skirmsh and nab all the points, motorcylce counter!!!
I'd go so far as to say that the Axis are more fun!
I've only played with them once, but I had been wondering how they were getting snipers and MGs so early in the game. It's cause they start able to build them! The Allies have to build a special building to get access to those!
The Axis appear to be able to build a wider variety of infantry earlier, but I think that probably means you need to consider carefully what it is that you're trying to do. Also, the Allies riflemen are more versatile, in that they can build the observation posts on strategic points, where the Axis have to use their pioneers (equivalent of Allies engineers).
The Axis equivalent standard squads appear to be 1 man down on the Allies, but I didn't feel they were substantially weaker. Tactically, well positioned troops seem to waste equivalent but badly positioned troops.
Oh, and the German voiceovers are just cooler.

I also think Axis kicks ass although, I don't like their tech tree.. The Allied one is so much more clearer, where you can put points in Infantry, Armor, or Airborne, but the Axis seem a bit split up.
The Axis infantry are a bit weaker because it appears they have one less infantryman per squad.
Regarding the tech tree, I can't remember exactly which tree I choose, but it had a great thing that caused your enemies to retreat back to base, and one that makes your soldiers in friendly territory a lot more powerful!
I'm on Piacular and Ronin Storms team!
For the Fatherland!

#EDIT# Hmmm I just tried the defensive German side and I love the Flank 88's! they are so powerful.
