Holy Carp! Did I read that right? We get the demo before the yanks?

They definitely have a winner on their hands with this game. I for one cannot wait for it.

From Twitter: @OfficialBFBC2 Seems the PS3 demo is now live in the EU #BFBC2

Along with AVP demo and Final Fantasy VIII in the PSN update.

Downloaded it on 360 earlier in week and its pretty damn sweet! Think I'm gna stick with MAG for the time being though.

Polar101

Going to download it when I get home. Does the demo have multiplayer?

RAIN

Its only multiplayer w00000hooo

timefora_J

Nice one, gonna download the second I get in from work.

This maybe the only game that will pull me away from MW2, until AVP is released

Glico Man

Nooooooooooooooo......my internet is still down. Gonna have to wait til the weekend:(

Minstrel27

1416MB ... 29minutes over a 15mb broadband connection.

positron

Ouch, that will be an all-nigh-download with my feeble 3mb connection that keeps dropping every 20 mins!

Is it the same content as the Beta?

Just spent an hour downloading thiis, and it refuses to connect to any games :mad:

noodler

Played it for an hour or so there. Very good.

I only have BF1943 to compare it to though.

Kev_ps3

Yeah its good. Should be a nice break from mw2 when it comes out.

Minstrel27

2 hours to download. I will wait till tomorrow or Saturday

Star Bingo

demos/buses

Leiva

Just played 2 hours there , what can I say 10/10 .

Some good variety from the BETA .
Surprisingly got straight into a game with good team work , defended very well and really enjoyed it .

1 thing but...

How in hell do you fly the Black Hawks ? , all I was doing ( and others) was re-inacting Black Hawk Down:eek:

Roll on release date.

Still can't connect. This is wrecking my head! All I get is a message telling me the game is unavailable, server connection lost. I have no connection issues with MW or any other online game :mad:

Thats deadly, if you could do that in MW2 there would be a lot less camping:D

What exactly is going on here? Is that some kind of remote controlled helicopter he's flying around killing people with?

That's amazing it looks rediculously overpowered but serious fun!! Will be playing this later for def!!

Pretty cool alright , i know he is using road kill with the UAV but is he using the UAV to shoot people at low level aswell ?
What button press is the gun on the UAV ? ..me thinking it only calls a missle attack ?

When you get enough points in vehicles, its the third level I think? Then you can unlock alternate fire for the UAV, as far as I know.

Gave it a go this morning - have to say - I Like it !!!!!

Same damn sniper kept getting me though - think I'll be a Sniper anymore!!!

WolfForager

Loved the beta, but after a week of playing MAG... Hmmm.. Maybe i just need some time to draw back into my Rambo style of playing FPS

James74

Jaysus, the difference between this and MW2! Peeps defend and attack in squads, go for objectives, act tactically...and its only the demo. This is gonna be a great online experience.

Star Bingo

what one excels in the other fails miserably in... - does anyone else recall infantry combat in Bad Company 1? because if it was this shoddy i was a younger man w/ less expectations n more time to waste.. for example i threw myself in amidst a bunch or enemies and there were MANY failed gun and knife attempts on my life. point blank at that.. once they'd distinguished me as not one of em that is. melee reaction time eh.. an entire second after button press. the vehicles, obviously a BF title's selling point. other than squad tendencies - and i suspect this will feel less like the franchise within a franchise that was BF> Bad Company.. more just another BF.

could swear i don't remember infantry combat this bad.. - map design will make or break this. 'beta' one's meh

CombatCow

Played the demo there, didn't like it personally, but I would imagine it's going to be quite popular.

Leiva

Weird thing happened last night , I ended up in a game on my own ?
Yes all those vehicles and helis for myself , now call me a loner but I had great craic practicing in the Helis and got some skills ( I think)
I must have levelled about 10 buildings

only thing is it's a big map when on your own

noodler

I hate snipers in these BF games.

It take so long to line up a headshot and if you miss or only get a body shot you have to line up the shot all over again as you reload.

However, it feels like when another sniper hits me with a body shot, a second one follows up almost immediately to finish me off.

Still playing the demo though!

when you level up you get a sniper with i think 8 bullets in a clip

Played the demo last night during a break from Modern Warfare :rolleyes:
Was on a team of 3 against a team of 10 which didnt seem very fair??
Did this happen anyone else? Its not exactly a BETA anymore so this shouldnt really happen.
Long story short we got got A-holed

Glico Man

Could have been worse, it was me and another guy against a whole squad...then he left:(

And in reply to someone that said its a big map when you're on your own, it feels so so small when its 1 vs 12

positron

Sunday morning, there were just two each side!

I was on attacking team, and the two lads killed me four times by sneaking up from behind at the woods off the area you parajump into. One of them then disappeared. And my team made decided to park a tank at the top of the hill and fire everywhere at random for next 20 minutes! The match turned a total one-on-one between the other player (JKTD or something) and me. He got me another two or three times, but then I ended up snipping him about 10 times and then he gave up. Then I spend next 20 minutes running around clearing charges, and that was it. Got loads of points, new sniper rifle and a class upgrade. It was boring, but I won't complain, because there's no chance of me clearing any charges in a normal game - I am not very good tbh!

Scráib

I'm definitely buying this game, based soley on the demo experience. The multiplayer is class, lovely big maps, not too crowded i.e. you don't respawn then die suddenly because the other side spawn right beside you, and the fact that you can drive tanks etc is savage craic!

It's a lot of fun, it'll be my first purchase where I'm buying it purely for the multiplayer component, usually I'm a single-player campaign person!

positron

Someone resurrected me a couple of times yesterday, but I was immediately shot down by someone at the other team! I wonder if they were collaborating on this!

Leiva

I must say , I am having great fun with this Demo .
When you get in a good organised squad it can be such craic .
Last night I managed to get over 15k points in one game (with bonus ) .
I have a really sneaky but effective tactic when arming a bomb , works a treat and can get you multiple kills , also nothing better when Defending to go up onto the sniping spot on the first section (on the rock) and knife all those snipers , sit tight and do it again . I swear some players are so stupid :rolleyes:

Got a kill of my life when I chased a Tank , planted some C4 , waited , he ended up driving on and getting stuck beside his team mates tank , BOOOMMMMM sent him into tomorrow only for his Tank to set off the second one .:D

A good medic & engineer on your squad is a must , they can really help with keeping the pressure on the opposing team .
Alot of people forget about Destruction 2.0 in this game , use it to your advantage (e.g) If your attacking on the second stage , and when trying to attack "Alpha" point (upstairs ) set some C4 or RPG on the gable walls of
the house , it will kill any campers on the landing plus give you great access if not bring the house down.

Roll on March 5th ..pre order down .

the best ones were often the Pro Evo v Fifa debate. which is hard to call right now as they're both poor. which makes for a more frustrated hitler :rolleyes:

theres a peak at some jungle in the Jungle Skirmish level over here, from the campaign

http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/28076


and Snow Village Invasion

http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/28077
