Battlefield 2 demo

[Shotty]

Is it here yet can some1 check the marketplace, dont you hate it when they tell us a date

[Don_Rico]

No, it's not there yet. And yes I hate when they say dates. Atleast when they can't keep them.

[demastus]

@ 10.42 EST still not there. :(

[citizen X]

i think its a good idea not to tell the dates..cuz then we're just waiting and waiting and its starts getting annoying... but when it just appears on line its a nice surprise.. but still that said i cant wait for the 25th..im going to have fun waiting 12 hours for my damn xbox to download the game...i don’t know but after i downloaded the outfit every other demo I download takes the whole damn day...its really starting to piss me off...are any of u guys having the same problem…

[Don_Rico]

Nope, it took me ~10 mins to download The Outfit, and ~5 mins for the Burnout demo.

But then again I do have pretty good internet connection.

[Shotty]

Mine download most games in inder 20 minutes. Lets start the waiting game for battlefield II.

[citizen X]

damn it!..u guys suck...jk...yea it takes me atleast 8 damn hours..i dont know why..it just started doing this.

[no anaesthesia]

the demo is supposed to be released on the 24th

[tekssX]

the demo is supposed to be released on the 24th

damn it!..u guys suck...jk...yea it takes me atleast 8 damn hours..i dont know why..it just started doing this.

Ive been having the same problem. I just wait tell night now, it downloads way faster. I dont know why it suddenly change.

[Cougar50]

the demo is supposed to be released on the 24th

Yeah that is what I heard also.

[tekssX]

atleast we can all trust EA to release the demo on time *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* with another 2 days of coughing

[Shotty]

Then why do some sites say thurdays?

[tekssX]

Well, I know the official demo release was posted to come out on the 24th, so that makes it a friday.

But lets hope EA can come through with their word.

[Cougar50]

Yeah I hope it really gets realeased tomorrow

[Shotty]

Is it here yet

[Cougar50]

I am currently downloading th Blazing Angels demo so I can not check to see if it is online.

[Jacksmith28]

It's not out yet........

[Don_Rico]

Not now either...

[Shotty]

How about now? O man cant get home until 6.

[Glock 19]

Nope not up yet, doubt it will be up today.

[Æ N I M A 4 6 N 2]

THE WAIT IS KILLING ME, DAMN YOU EA! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!
at least I still have my OBLIVION!!!! :)

[Don_Rico]

THE WAIT IS KILLING ME, DAMN YOU EA! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!
at least I still have my OBLIVION!!!! :)

Oblivion, Oblivion, take all my sorrow away :D. And it does!

[no anaesthesia]

i think u cant really rely on the developers word on the releasedate, after all it's microsoft who provides the service in which they are released. the developers can only estimate the release date, or tell the date the demo was sent to ms

[DimitriC2982]

yeah theres so many good downloads out but i havent even tried to download them becuase im just playing oblivion

[no anaesthesia]

btw has ms said anything about any demo's date before the demo was released.............just curious

[Shotty]

I guess developers are telling us the dates they send the demos to MS, MS takes a while putting it on the marketplace.

[no anaesthesia]

thats how i understood it but i can be wrong :)

[no anaesthesia]

just look at what happened with the GRAW demo

[DimitriC2982]

yeah that was a failure

[tekssX]

I think EA is just waiting until it's around maybe 9:00pm Eastern / 6:00pm Western, to release the demo. That is if they want to make it the most successful game demo on the marketplace.

EA's plans revealed! woot :D

[Shotty]

Developers have weird supersititions

[Cougar50]

As of 3:44pm Hawaii time still no demo.

Man this is irritating when they say a date and don't come through.

surprise suprise

[Jacksmith28]

Still not out. Those S.O.B's

[Muln]

that sucks i was hoping to play soon

[Jacksmith28]

Thats the last straw. I'm about ready to go buy GRAW. I'm sick of EA's bull. It's probably better anyway.

[Æ N I M A 4 6 N 2]

Well now its saturday, I never seen a demo released on the weekends. i think they might (most likey never) release it mondey or tuesday.

[no anaesthesia]

Thats the last straw. I'm about ready to go buy GRAW. I'm sick of EA's bull.


Yeah that'll show 'em ;)

[Jacksmith28]

The game was to be on the marketplace this Friday 24th of March, but it was pushed back until next week. It should be up some time between Tuesday the 28 or Wednesday the 29 of March.


Doesnt that just say it all?

[Cougar50]

Man that sucks. Every time they say a demo will be realeased on a date it always get pushed back

[Don_Rico]

Man that sucks. Every time they say a demo will be realeased on a date it always get pushed back

Yeah. Now I've just stop caring about the demo release dates, they don't keep them anyway (mostly).

[Shotty]

How about all future demos releases are un annouced.

[Cougar50]

^ Or how about they realease the demos when they say they will realease them.

[Utu nz]

Not far now :) , I can't wait .... love this series

[Æ N I M A 4 6 N 2]

Is it here yet?

[Shotty]

I almost forgot about this demo. What ever happened to this and streetfighter II.

[tekssX]

Just release the demo for fRIGggin Sakessss!

[Don_Rico]

Yeah, WTF EA!?

[Cougar50]

:dito:

[no anaesthesia]

probably the 29th at best

[Ohira34]

they need to stop announcing demos its almost like a curse...it will come out later if at all if they announce it....just release it an surprise people like blazin angels

[Don_Rico]

They can annouce I think, if they can keep the damn date!

[DimitriC2982]

this is such BS just release the damn demo when they say they will

[tekssX]

it's not even that, instead of telling us if something went wrong, they just delete the news article on their website about the demo.

I guess they just think we're a bunch of dumbnachappaz

[citizen X]

see this is the kind of crap i hate that comes from most big named comp. they think we're stupid or something...there only a few big comp. that have real respect for there consumers. and EA ant one of them..

[QuantuM]

that is lame, i have been waiting for this for a while

[DimitriC2982]

is it out yet

[Scotracer]

Just checked and.......No.

[Æ N I M A 4 6 N 2]

Maybe today, but unliky tell fri. I HATE EA. I HOPE YOU DIE!

[Ohira34]

yeah they need to drop this soon...hopefully by the end of the week.

[Jacksmith28]

I'm soooooooooooo sick of EA. They do need to die. If they don't release the demo tomorrow, I'm just gonna play COD2 until I buy it. lol. Or buy GRAW, teach them a lesson.

[Cougar50]

I hope that they realease the demo by the Weekend.

[Jacksmith28]

I hope that they realease the demo by the Weekend.

If they doont get it out by at least friday, I'll bet they'll loose $100,000,000 in sales to Ubi soft, Do to lack of paitents in gamers, dying for new games.

[tekssX]

Last thing I can think of is....

Free xbox live weekend is around the corner, EA probly wants as many people to download their demo as possible, so I'm guessing they might release the demo for that reason....

[Don_Rico]

It's out now. ScotRacer just told me, good that my 360 ****ed up today so I can't play it. And wont for another week or so.

[Bloodflame]

yep, its out. i got it a couple hours ago. its an online demo only, and if you've registered with EA in the past for another game, they may email you to link your EA account with your gamertag (what i noticed after playing the BF2 demo for the first time). its not bad, but i wish i could at least get some split screen action to practise with before hitting Live :P

[Cougar50]

I just started dowloading it. It is 300 something mb so I will probally download it now and leave it on all night because my downloads take forever.
