Official Battlefield 2 demo anticipation thread

So the demo isn't going to come out tomorrow like it has been widely reported. This is what BF2 producer Ben Smith had to say (taken from the live Gamespy chat with him):

 

[20:13:32] <[Admin]WolfBlade> and now the question that everyone has been wanting to know....

[20:13:36] <[Admin]WolfBlade> *ByrdGang-gs* when is the demo coming out?

[20:14:02] <ea-bsmith> hmmm

[20:14:28] <ea-bsmith> ok, well, while we're not ready to commit to tomorrow night like has been reported in a bunch of places

[20:14:45] <ea-bsmith> we're fairly confident we'll be out some time this weekend with the demo

[20:15:07] <ea-bsmith> right now the demo is in our final approval process (called CQC internally)

[20:15:39] <ea-bsmith> once they're done we're ready to roll

 

So how many of you plan on getting the demo the day its released or a few days within its release? I think if any of you here will get it, we should try to meet up and play. For now it seems the game will be released on the official site and at Gamespot where they say that no registration will be required.

I think I'll wait for the full game to come out and watch you guys play the demo. Then I'll buy the game.

 

Though I'm debating whether to buy this one or save my money for SW: Battlefront 2.

 

Both look awesome.

Well, the demo is out but every site is being hammered to hell. I'm going to wait till a torrent is released. If you want to try to get it from a site, try these:

EDIT: Ok, there is a torrent at FileRush. I'm not using it since I hopped onto a private Shack torrent.

It seems theres a small patch for that. I haven't installed it yet my self but picked up the small patch talk @ an IRC chan - which I also didn't confirm.

Worked fine for me. Took me a while to get the controls just right. Some dumbass over at DICE decided to bind End to bring down the console and didn't let you change it in game. Also, in order to get the controls just right, I had to unbind everything (it's a lot) and redo them.

 

But it's worth it. The game works and plays great.
