Ok, I have been wanting to try out Battlefield BC2 before I purchase it.  And I have been looking all over for the damnd demo (360 version).  Does anyone know if they are going to release a demo for it?   And to those of you who enjoy this type of game what are your thoughts?  I know it has received decent reviews and I plan on getting the game.  But I refuse to purchase a game without playing it first, I have been burned in the past and blowing $60 bucks on something thats not what your looking for sucks.

There was a demo, but it appears they have removed it.

I put this in the Microsoft forum because that is what console im looking for the demo on. 

I wonder why they removed it?  This really pisses me off more and more...

It's an incredible game but prepare to die a lot. U need to invest quite much time into it to become good. Well, maybe not that much time... just have good aiming skills and u will be successful. (Talking multiplayer here, the SP is useless)

Do u have a good PC btw?

Do I have a good PC gaming rig?

I gave up on the constant upgrades that go along with a PC gaming rig, so no.

I enjoy COD 4 and MW2 a lot where does Battlefield BC 2 rank against MW2?

I think it's better, but it's different. Far more realistic. Slow (u move slowly), but hectic. U need to concentrate all the time. U can never relax.

It's a pain to aim, most shots miss. It's not "arcadey" at all.

Most players are good, there's hardly any noobs or casuals playing it.

I don't know if it was taken down on the same day, but the PS3 version was taken off the store late February.

It's a shame, but they probably want people to buy the game and not spend all their time in the demo. I remember playing the Bad Company 1 demo for a while. Heck, I remember playing the Battlefield 2 demo for a few months after the game came out before I finally went out and bought it.

The demo for the game ended a week before release. It was completely mutiplayer so there is no reason for it to still be avaiable for download (as opposed to the demo for the first game, which had a singleplayer portion as well. I am on my iPhone so I won't be able to post gameplay video. However I personally will remember this game as the one I had most fun with this generation. Please post the qualities you think make a multiplayer FPS game good. Everyone knows how fanatical I am about the game so I'll post my negatives: * One or two guns that are "overpowered". Nothing game breakingly powerful, and it is easy to defeat such people with the starting guns, just slightly annoying to see everyone use the M60 * High emphasis on teamwork. While such a thig is also a HUGE positive, it can also horribly backfire when you don't have friends to play with And half your team are Recon snipers. If you don't have any friends to play with use the PSN/LIVE exchange on the official forum, and friend anybody you meet with mics (although mics shouldn't be a problem for LIVE) * Small bugs. It makes you want to scream when you sneakup on a sniper, clearly stab a knife on his back, and end up being point blanked shot by a sniper rifle. * Linear maps on Conquest. There are a few maps that have a more open and varied flag set up. However there are 2 maps (Atamaca Desert and White Pass) that are literally a straight line.

My main concerns probably have to do with the vehicles.  Are the planes and helicopters easier to fly than say Battlefield 1943?  I also am wondering about the destructive environments.  Can you destroy pretty much everything?   And is there a ton of camping in it?  I hate friggin campers.
