Battlefield: Bad Company demo dated

So I guess my code is gone like a fart in the wind...Gamestop has my email but I've received nothing.

Any demo impressions to tide me over?
 
Finally got my hand on a code. :D

The singleplayer mission is pretty good. The presentation is really great (music, cutscenes, dialogues). For a first singleplayer effort in the series I'd say DICE is off to a great start.

The multi is the same as the beta, I think they changed the voice of the guy who talked at the end of each match. The on in the beta was better. :(

Are you joking?

At this point its cheaper to preorder the game. If you think you'll like it, you might as well preorder to get the demo. If you don't like it you can change your preorder before it comes out.

BTW: Demo is amaaaazing. I'm having so much fun with it. For some reason the beta didn't grab me, but the demo does.
 
I'm still stuck here waiting for the code in my email from Gamestop, does anyone have a 360 code they aren't using?
 
I'd also love to get a PS3 code, but hey, the demo's out Thursday anyway. ;) At least there's something to look forward to on this Thursday's update. If this game plays great on PS3, I'll be picking up a copy.
 
Darn, if someone took it, you should've at least posted. I quit my game to enter that code in. If anyone still has an extra I'll trade a 1 month if desired.
 
I wish they would have just put the codes in the pre order boxes, then I could have just taken like 6 from work.
 
So... I've been playing the multiplayer for a few days now. I hate it when my team loses, though. Also, the helicopter is ridiculously hard to figure out.

Fact: Having a gunner in your vehicle is the best thing ever. Also: Being support so you fix your vehicle (especially for the helicopter) is the best thing ever.

The speed of changing weapons suck, especially the knife.

Also, are they serious about the 14000000000something points you can try to earn in the demo multiplayer to reach the next rank? Do you get something special out of that? D:
 
Wow I am totally out of the loop. I didn't know at all that this game will have a real single player campaign now I am interested. I will wait for impressions on how everything works in the final game (netcode etc.) and if everything checks out I will get it.
 
if they fixed fall damage, voice chat, actually having conquest put in and parachutes? Now make it so it takes like 1/2 clip or less to kill someone
 
Yes i had many problems with the Beta:
1) They need to make it less bullets to kill people. It was becoming rediculous that i needed to use an entire clip to drop someone.

2) They must add parachutes, the game didn't feel like battlefield.

3) Dice need to remove that stupid radar system where if a teammate spots an enemy they are visible to the entire team, even if the enemy is behind a solid object and not in sight.

My demo is downloading on my PS3 so i can see if they have fixed these in an hour or so. If anyone wants to add me to play my psn is : VociferousTurtle. Btw i have no headset, yet.

Can anyone confirm or deny if they have added friend list support for the multipley in the demo on any platform. As it stood in the Beta you could not play with your friends, just randomers without tactics and a common disregard for the rules of the gamemode.
 
On the single player i didn't expect much out of a single player battlefield but it's not bad. It's cinematic but still somewhat open. Biggest problems is the enemy AI is dumb as shit. Once when I blew up a truck coming at me the guy hopped out and just stood there behind it doing nothing while his friend was crouched down in a bush looking at me. I had to get like five feet from him before he started shooting. Also it does that thing where even though you have teammates you still have to do everything yourself and the enemies still only try to shoot at you.
 
Seriously, I hate games in general that take a whole clip to kill someone. In Halo it is forgivable since you can just kill them with two melee hits. I would rather it be super-realistic-getshotonceyoudie type thing than 30 bullets=kill.
