You get used to guessing the population pretty well once you start to know the maps, since I was in the beta, my guesses are spot on, but if you want a guaranteed hot spot, look for the area where all 3 factions converge, and you'll see some crazy shit for sure. Gun wise, a lot of those are more of a novelty, no one gun is totally superior to the other unless you are a sniper with a certain play style, I'd test out the air combat and tank combat too, once you get to know the game, it becomes really addicting because you are part of something really huge and chaotic hehe.

I tested out the air combat and tank combat. I found the tanks super underpowered (I shot "heavies" with my tank shots and it only took away like 1/7th of their health. What the hell?), and the flying was really disorienting for some reason (I'm an avid flyer in battlefield...). I did end up somewhat feeling better about the flying controls but couldn't find enemies to shoot at for the life of me - then I got shot down by a lock-on rocket that I'm unsure of how to deflect.

Guns are not merely novelty when the only sniper available is an extremely weak semi-auto and you have to pay out the ass to get a bolt-action rifle. That's really the only class that's bugging me right now, though, since I'll agree with you that most automatic weapons feel pretty much the same.
