Battlefield: Bad Company demo now available to all

Battlefield: Bad Company demo now available to all
Written Thursday, June 05, 2008 by Neil Christie

EA has released a demo of Battlefield: Bad Company on Xbox Live today. The 1.50GB download was previously only available to those with a special access code, some of which were given away last week here on Xbox360Achievements.org. If you weren't lucky enough to get one then, you're in luck as the same demo is now available to everyone.

The file may be one of the larger demos on Xbox Live but it includes two multiplayer maps and a sampling of the single player campaign. The full version of the game goes on sale at the end of the month.

what, no morons claiming 1st post? how refreshing! Anyway I love demos with online multiplayer. It gives you a better feel for how much replay value a game will have.

nice - gonzo 303. Sarcasm is some of my favorite stuff. I've been playing alot of R6V2. I wonder how difficult it'll be to change over to this. Only one way to find out.

Downloading now...looks very similar to COD 4 with a few additions like vehicles I guess. Graphics look good and so do the weapons and effects, but it needs to be different than COD 4 for me to have interest in it.

Mixed reactions from the beta, though I always liked the look of this... I used to play BF2 on the PC a lot and that was sweet as. Love the destructible scenery idea too. I'm downloading this bad boy as soon as I get home.

Had a quick blast earlier on it was just too laggy. Ill give it another shot later but besides the lag i am very impressed.

Aah, nice use of sarcasm Brauchstar, i see what you did there!

On a more serious note, I think this game could good be pretty good. Shall have to download the demo to find out then.

Mmmmm I think this game was overhyped. They should have done a way better job.

Wow does this demo suck. It has locked up 3 times on me in 15 minutes of play. Collision issues and laggy multiplayer. I'm going back to COD4.

Without the lag, it would be a decent multiplayer experience....the singleplayer however is lacking.

I'm gonna try this out soon.

Fun game but the online play is a bit laggy. I'm hoping they fix the server issues before the full release.

I was really let down by this game. I suppose I expected more, but there is no way this lived up to my expectations. And this is coming from someone who played Battlefield 2:MC for over a year non-stop.

you may not need this demo to know that your going to get the game, but if you go up to corporal (4 ranks up) on the online section, you unlock an exclusive gun in the full game!!!

(I know that a lot of you will have known this weeks ago, but some people may not)

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
