aw man im confused now,

Update: We have learned from various sources that the GameCenter exclusive will be available to everyone to download. It is that they are requesting no one mirror the download for a their exclusive period, basically meaning you do not have to be a subscriber

ze torrentz. :dork:
 
Don't worry, guys. This demo will be freely available for everyone from the git-go. That's pure speculation, but I have a good feeling about it.
 
Well if they do release the demo at 4PM PST, that would be 12:00PM GMT and 01:00AM GMT+1 for me argh.

where do you live?
 
/me does the "Im a founders cluh member of fileplanet so shes happy" dance.

Shakermaker, I doubt it will be for everyone to start with, tons of demos have done this, there normally pay only for afew days, or at the most a week.

UK servers for the proverbial win :D

Anyway Ritz does have a point, it's just like with MMORPG betas, I remember signing up for a month of Fileplanet to get the MxO and WoW betas. As for torrent sites I don't doubt it at all, but I don't know any torrent sites, since it's a demo, I hope the moderators won't mind if the torrent links are posted in the forum hehe.
 
They should mind, since its an leak..
 
I hereby demand everyone that has a subscribetion that you upload the demo somewhere plz
 
I sure hope to god they unexclusive-fy it tommorow.
 
so all of you search on torr. after 12 pm GMT !
end keep me updated
many thanx.
 
Well that's a right bitch!! I got a Fileplanet subscription ages ago for one particular file, and I only just cancelled it a few weeks ago. I should've left it as I wouldn't have to pay until mid-June!!! :( ;(
 
Even if it's free tomorrow on Gamespy, you will be waiting hours in a queue, and then have to put up with crap speeds for a (surely) 500mb+ file.
 
So....they are having an exclusive download that everyone can get today?

Everywhere I read it says that it won't just be paying members that can get the demo from Gamespot

You dont wait in a queue when downloading from a paid user, and Ive allways got at least 300kps on fileplanet.. So yeah.

In reply to jimbo118, yes theres a new fear beta, and yes Im a founders club member (Meaning I get ign insider and fileplanet sub)

I know you dont. I was talking about free users- read the post properly. This is afterall the reason for all the uproar- because a lot of people aren't paying users...So yeah.

Currently downloading the new one, I played the old one too, Im pretty sure its just the same. If so its mp with 2 maps I think. Very fun game, but abit laggy as its like doom 3, unforgiving if you dont have the newest and greatest hardware.
 
Want more confusing news????

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.

High Occupancy Vehicle - 2 people
they're special lanes on the highway that only cars with 2 people can drive in
basically, i was trying to make a joke
 
Where the hell did all this "exclusive demo" shit come from?

Don't publishers realize that releasing a demo is a form of advertisment? The more people who download it, the better it is for them.

Unless of course it's rubbish.

As I just posted my friend will.
However, he can't handle 500 hundred people downloading off of him alone, so if I do post a link, NO ONE CAN GIVE IT TO THEIR FRIENDS OR OTHER FORUMS.
