EA clarifies the release schedule for the Battlefield 2142 demo, which involves a series of cascading exclusivities more worthy of a puzzle game or a tycoon sim than a military shooter. On Thursday the sample of the shooter sequel will be available as a 24 hour exclusive for customers who have preordered the Collector's Edition. The public debut of the demo will take place on Friday, but this too will be an exclusive, with partner sites (in the US it will be GameSpot) to have first crack at distributing this non-egalitarian sample of the game through Saturday morning:
This week sees the release of the BF2142 Demo, through several channels and pre-order systems already in place.
The release schedule is as follows:
The Battlefield 2142 demo will be available to customers who have pre-ordered the Battlefield 2142: DICE Collector's Edition on Thursday, 5th October for 24 hours exclusively.
It will then be available on exclusive sites publicly from Friday, 6th October. E.G. The US site for this portion of the release is Gamespot.
The exclusivity period will end at 9AM CET, Saturday 7th October so please refrain from posting the demo until this time. We appreciate your co-operation in respecting the exclusivity arrangements.
I will send out messaging on Saturday as soon as I have the file and have placed it up for download.
Demo Friday
