Battlefield 2 demo to be released on Xfire!

The new Battlefield 2 demo is coming out soon. Sign up for Xfire's FPS Demos channel today, and you'll automatically be set up to start downloading the demo as soon as it's available - no worries, no waiting. You'll also get the official Battlefield 2 trailer immediately!

Clicky Here with Xfire Installed

I'm letting it download the trailer just to test speeds, and it's beating Bittorrent :eek:

Would say so.

There's a 4 page faq on BF2 at IGN :

And in case anyone else doesn't know, you do require WindowsXP ( no W2K support ), this faq confirms it.

signed upfor that xfire thing, click on the link u posted nothing happens, and when try adding fps channel demo's it does nothing.

Digital · 9 Jun 2005 at 07:07

Well, no surprise there wasn't a demo release.

On a better note, anyone who's probably going to have you use low settings in BF2 should check out the latest 5 videos from IGN, so you can see what the setting is like.

Fillado · 9 Jun 2005 at 11:07

Join the Developer chat this Thursday at 4PM PST and find out the inside scoop on Battlefield 2. Then stay with us to download the demo

So supposing we get it all at the same time, that would be from midnight tonight

PiKe · 9 Jun 2005 at 11:18

Unlikely as EA will operate off american time.

GMT -5 I believe.

Getting pretty sick of these damn sites, "coming soon coming soon"..know something? blow it out your ass and give us a date and a time. Hate the fact this "coming soon" ******** is just to get people to hammer the site and give them more hits. DOD source has been "coming soon" for months now, bf2 demo will still be "coming soon" this time next week more than likely. :rolleyes:

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.

Well gamespot complete members as has been mentioned are meant to have an approx 24 hour exclusive period on the demo. Just chaffs my arse this "coming soon" crap, is giving a proper date too much to ask ?

PiKe · 9 Jun 2005 at 12:31

24hr period will be more like 1hr before it's torrented, they wont go the hassle of cd-keys for just 24 hours.
