AH!! no demo?

What's this?

Has EA gotten stingy? There's no mention and no sight of BF:V demo anywhere. Will it be released only when the game is getting into trouble sales wise?

Razor took the liberty of releasing a demo for everyone.

JonFrey · 03-16-2004, 07:01 PM

Where did Razor make it available? Can he post a link or ?

Corax · 03-16-2004, 07:58 PM

I think what Bort meant is that Razor's demo is actually the "Unlimited Evaluation Version" (warez). I doubt openly posting a link to it would be well seen on this forum. :} However, it seems weird they didn't release a demo. As if they were counting only on BF42's success to sell BFV. I hope for them they won't get burnt...

Sorry, that sarcasm went way over my head! LOL

I would never ask anyone to post a warez link so please don't think that is what I meant. I would just love to try the demo for a few days simply cause I probably wont' be able to get it [buy it] for a week or so... if not longer

I want to test BF:V before i run and spend my money.
If they dont release a demo, i have to use the razor version for testing.
Your fault EA.

Yeah, that's what i did, oh well atleast we can now test all levels and stuff in the "demo". This game has been downloaded a lot, many of the old finnish bf42 players are playing bfv eventhough it hasn't been released here yet, if ea had published the game at the same time here or made a demo available this would've not happened..
Perhaps they don't care if i play a downloaded game while waiting for it to be released here :P

They care, they just rush the game too fast out the door fearing they would lose their cashcow 1942 and have customers disenchanted before buying BFV.

I want to test if it runs on my PC...
