Demo to be debuted on GameSpot to both subscribers and non-subscribers

God damn release the demo and say it's only 80& representative of the final product or something! :p
 
we should just shoot the messenger

*all eyes turn to Axyon*
 
A post from the IGN-boards by (supposedly) someone from IGN.

Dan-IGN said:
"I just talked to a guy at EA and he's not sure if the demo is coming tomorrow or not. Apparently it all depends on the test, which it's going through right now. He's hoping for tomorrow, but if not, it'll be early next week by the latest."

This could be of course IGN being sour about the fact that Gamespot has the exclusive or something. Or whatever.
 
What's to test anyway? They've finished testing the real game, and the demo is essentially a cut-down version of the real game. Surely it wouldn't have taken them this long?
 
-stops refreshing Gamespot-
I swear, if the demo ends up being released NEXT week...I'm going to crack some skulls.
 
woot 10 min rounds?
thank goodness it doesn't take that long to load the level... oh wait.

Sure they can, and will. :(
 
from gamespot.com
The moment you've been waiting for is almost here. Stay tuned to GameSpot for the release of this much-anticipated demo
 
All demo rumors have been proved false. ben smith just said (forgot where you can find the actual quote on total bf2.com) that the demo is not read for release. They are hoping to release it this weekend...so tomorrow would be the earliest. You can stop refreshing whatever website your hoping the download will come on.
 
<[Admin]WolfBlade> and now the question that everyone has been wanting to know....
<[Admin]WolfBlade> *ByrdGang-gs* when is the demo coming out?
<ea-bsmith> hmmm
<ea-bsmith> ok, well, while we're not ready to commit to tomorrow night like has been reported in a bunch of places
<ea-bsmith> we're fairly confident we'll be out some time this weekend with the demo
<ea-bsmith> right now the demo is in our final approval process (called CQC internally)
 
Woot, sounds great :D

if it is today, it should be in 15 min or so right?
 
Well, we all were, but we originally thought it was gonna be released tomorrow anyway so it's not really that big of a disappointment.

except that he was refering to tomorrow night (friday).
in other words, it "may" be out tomorrow, but at this point it's still up in the air, they aren't ready to commit to a date...

he said he was fairly confident it would be out this weekend, which in all likelyness probably means sunday at 12:00PM hehe.

and GS still get their 24 exclusivity, which kinda sucks, even though it's for registered as well as unregistered users, I would rather it was out everywhere, so that there isn't this huge bottleneck of users trying to get their hands on it from one source.

It's not exactly up to them when the demo is released though. We gotta see if the demo passes testing quickly and they haul ass on setting up demo servers.
 
Yeah, just a couple more hours (I hope at least).

EDIT This just in on TotalBF2.com:

EA's Community Manager said:
This email is to inform you that I will not be sending out the Battlefield 2 multiplayer demo to our file partners upon its initial release. As you’re probably aware, GameSpot will be premiering the demo for a 24-hour period once EA releases it. At this time, we do not have a release date, but one is expected soon. When it is released, you’ll be able to download it from the GameSpot GameCenter (no registration is required) and the games official web site located here: www.Battlefield2.com

So the demo is not entirely a Gamespot-exclusive. It'll also be downloadable from the official site.

ANOTHER EDIT This is from a community chat hald last night:

Well, its early in the a.m. here in the States. Its about 1:17am and they probably wouldn't release it until noon or late afternoon.

Friday 10:26 AM over here (Amsterdam, Holland). I'll be staying up all night tonight until the bugger comes online. I'll hit the download-button, check if it works, and go to bed to have sweet dreams about BF2. When I wake up, I'll install it, and play nothing else all weekend prolly.
 
Hum, Maybe when I come home from school, It'll be up.
 
There's plenty of crap flying about now. I'm just hoping it's out before Tuesday.
 
As long as it comes out before the game does I'm happy.

But hopefully It'll be out sometime this weekend.
 
Bah, I'm going to a LAN party tomorrow, there's still a chance that it'll be out before then.
