Bad Company 2 Demo Downloaded Over 2 Million Times

Posted by Eric "TheHerp" Galaviz on February 15th, 2010

Big news from the Battlefield camp – they’re happy to announce that the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 demo is on pace to become the fastest downloaded demo in EA history. The demo continues to dominate PSN and Xbox Live with over 2 million demo downloads across the two networks in the first five days of availability. Electronic Arts has been aggressively promoting the sequel by holding multiplayer betas and offering the multiplayer demo a month before release which has obviously been getting them some attention.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to hear that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is already in the hands of almost 2½ million gamers, and it hasn’t even shipped yet,” said Patrick Bach, Senior Producer on Battlefield: Bad Company 2. “This massive rush to experience the game early is proof positive that action gamers are looking for more. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 delivers on every front. This is intelligent, strategic warfare that our competitors simply cannot replicate.”

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 complements the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer with a greater focus on squad-based multiplayer in which gamers must play as a cohesive team to be victorious. The sequel builds on the successes of its predecessor, offering more weapons, more vehicles, more destruction, and more kills! Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is set to release on March 2nd in North America and March 4th in Europe for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The limited edition can be pre-ordered at no extra cost and if you get it from Amazon you can get a $20 credit towards a future video game purchase. We’ve gotten a chance to play through both the PS3 beta and the demo so be sure to check back for our BC2 Impressions.

    I have to say I was impressed with the pc beta. These alot of balance issues, its a beta, no biggie. Stuff like various UAV glitches, and (somewhat impressively i suppose, in a revenge-of-the-nerds kind of way) people already having figured out a way to input console controls to kill any objective on command. I don't know about ps3, but the graphics look all shiny and sexy and whatnot on the PC, however the menus and profile loading/updating so far are fucking atrociously slow and... just... just So bad. the friends list, the game browser. its just not a pretty sight right now, but then again im pretty spoiled by steam cloud and all that jazz. pretty good for a beta though, no doubt.

    Yea this is definetly a great game and for you pc fans (I own a 360 and a pc) there's already a beta out for the PC. Look it up guys, just preorder it for pc and you'll get the beta which is equal or better than a demo. Checkout the battlefield bad company 2 website.

    Hi,

    So far i have enjoyed very much the demo on PS3. I have to admit with a some other players that the graphics are not what I expected and I don't believe that it will change much with the release on March 2nd. That being said, this game is what I was expecting from MAG, but unfortunately, MAG did not deliver, from my stand point. I know, I'am going to get flamed for this comment! :o

    This game offers a more realistic gameplay with the destructive aspect of the engine. This alone alleviates the standard graphics. I can't wait to get my hand on it and will surely not be disappointed by it as I am with MAG.
  • Simon!
    amazing game!
