demo?


Recommended Posts

Judging from their last 4-5(?) releases, on the same week they start selling the actual disks, unless they need to test out large volume networking issues with a final Beta before the big release (like they did with Down In Flames).

I don't expect to see a 'play-300- times' classic like the original CMBO demo. Just something to let you put a squad and a vehicle or two through thier paces, to highlight the difference between CMx1 and x2. Otherwise they'd have to supply us with a 2 gig downloadable demo!

But the demo's a moot point for me anyway. I'll upgrade my system and buy CMSF sight unseen. Y'know, i never did get to play any CMAK demo scenarios!

I dunno, the demo might be real big. I download the demo for F.E.A.R. 600+ MB and it was about 15 mins of gameplay. So its not unheard of. I myself would prefer to spend a while downloading a pure classic scenario (Chance Engagment, say) rather rather than say something with 1 stryker and a platoon on a 100x100 map.

Yep, I am buying this one without a demo- not my standard practice, I am just confident that this will be a hit. Plus I can use it as a training tool (as long as they include Avenger) Are they in?
