Around 10 days before release. Wasn't specific. DICE just said it will follow the same pattern as BF2s release.

I know. I think they should just keep it running so we have something to do while they're putting the finishing touches on the game.

Hahaha, that's bullshit. The bf2 demo was released a month before the game's release, and it was FREE to EVERYONE.

honestly i think the demo isnt going to come out intell the game is released cause the release date is october17th and polishing a demo for 2142 would take too long, they need to be spending all there time fixing bugs

Yea but they'll most likely push it back, so you never know.

The demo for BF2 went out about 10 days before launch if I remember correctly, I am sure something similar will be the deal for 2142. We are also going to throw out an open beta in the beginning of August. The beta is predominately to learn about large scale issues, i.e. when we have 10 000's of people playing at the same time, eliminating some of the problems we have encountered after launch previously in the franchise. Keep your eyes open to join. -DICE


These where the words from DICE and, the demo is free to everyone.

Why do you think the demo isn't free?

Nah, The demo will be ready first. If the demo wasn't ready then the game wouldn't be either. There is no real "polish" to put on a demo. More like removing and plugging holes. The demo is just one online map (my guess is the map in beta) and the program to run it. Compared to the game which is the same, only with all the maps and, the AI for singleplayer (if it isn't in the demo, never DLed the BF2 demo).

It takes on average two weeks for a game to go gold (print manuals, box art, burn DVD/CDs etc.). I am betting that EA can get it done quicker than average due to their resources. Regardless, they will have plenty of time to prep and distribute the demo before the games release.

Probably talking about people having to pay with fileplanet to download the beta. Fucking bullshit if you ask me. And something I'd never do, fileplanet is trash.

yeah nice to see the open beta which you have to subscribe to fileplanet for and pay!! closed beta me thinks!!!!

but apart from that lie i would say 10 days is about right

I guess he doesn't know what he is talking about then.

There is/was an open beta. 12,000 keys where released to non-fp members.

As for fileplanet it's not trash. You get a free game for joining. I got a game that cost more in the store than my membership to fileplanet when I joined in January making my membership basically free. Plus, access to other exclusive beta (I'm a beta junkie) and, I can download and file, be it game, patch, or video, at 600+kps. Any other free site I try only uploads to me at 100+kps. (I DLed ES:4 Oblivion 4.17g in less than 2 hours last night)

I said it in another post a second ago. If five dollars is enough to bitch about. That person should probably be spending their money on other things besides video games, internet access, and PCs.

One reason they choose to use fileplanet is to keep the majority of the community to be clan members (invites) and adults (fp members). Assuming that most teens don't have a credit card. Then the server wouldn't be flooded with a bunch of deliquents that aren't going to contribute and, are only there to play the game. Stop and think why the beta being exclusive to FP members bothers so many people. Ya think they are mad because they can't test or, because they can't play? I think more want to play than work in my opinion.
