[quote=geRV]Im assuming the server would cost quite a bit. Some of the official ea servers can barely handle a 64 player game of bf:nam. Battlefield 2 has some physics incorperated into the game so thats an even bigger load on the server.

Im currently raising hell on some forums about this demo "coming soon" bollocks, think i heard the same "coming soon" bullshit about halflife 2 back in 2003 and dod source earlier this year. Friday isn't even a confirmed date for release just a rumour thats meant to have been started by some ea employees. cry:[/quote:c70c0]

[quote:c70c0]Q: What about the demo? When is the demo coming out? I want to play!

A: We understand that it will be released this Friday, June 10th. The precise time is unknown, but it will probably be around 12 noon Pacific Time. As with previous Battlefield demos, it will contain one map. No, we don't know which map it will be.Q: What about the demo? When is the demo coming out? I want to play!

From IGN BF2 FAQ. . .and an EA rep said that theyd release the demo in "a little over a week" - which being said on the 2nd. . .would be the 10th and on. Little reason to release it on a Saturday. . .as many kids are getting out of the schoolage now.

Itll drop tomorrow.

On another note, hopefully there's a decent demo server we can all play on.

Was there supposed to be a demo or what?

No, the demo has been cancelled.

[quote:8a141]GameSpot will world premiere the demo for EA and DICE's much-anticipated military shooter.

Although Battlefield 2 won't invade stores until June 21, PC gamers will get a chance to test-fire a demo of Electronic Arts' shooter sooner. EA confirmed today that it is planning to release a sample of Digital Illusion CE's forthcoming modern-combat shooter "very soon." When the Battlefield 2 demo is released, it will make its world premiere on GameSpot, and will be initially available not only to GameSpot registered users but also to unregistered visitors as well.

The Battlefield 2 demo premiere is a part of the buildup to the upcoming release of GameCenter. The GameCenter sneak peek release for GameSpot Complete subscribers is also forthcoming, and the full version of Battlefield 2 will be one of the top multiplayer games supported in GameSpot's upcoming premium gaming service. For more information on GameCenter, check out http://www.gamecenter.com.

The demo will feature three variations of the Gulf of Oman map from Battlefield 2, which is set in a near-future conflict between three clashing powers: The United States, China, and the fictional Middle Eastern Coalition (MEC). The single-player, 16-player, and 32-player versions of the map included in the demo will pit the US against the MEC in time-limit-based combat. (China is not playable in the demo.)

However, the demo will not include any additional maps or other features found in the retail version of Battlefield 2. Besides the Chinese forces, the full BF2 will feature 30 vehicles and 20 soldier kits from all three sides. It will also sport a total of 12 maps, each available for 16, 32, and 64 players. Online play will be enhanced with voice-over IP and persistent character scoring, while the new Battlefield Commander mode will give players a tactical edge on the, er, battlefield.
