The market for MMOFPS games is not that big. Unless there is no monthly fee there will not be a large enough market. First of all there are numerous amazing FPS games out there that have no monthly fee, so "Huxley" needs to compete with all of those to begin with. Second of all, it needs AMAZING gameplay from start to finish to hook people right off the bat or they will go back to CS:S, BF2, or numerous other games. Third, look at the greatest past example, PlanetSide; the game was fine, got decent reviews, but people just did not play it. If the users are not there at launch for a MMO game the game is dead. Plain and simple.
Sorry. I'm not excited.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
