BF2142 demo is lengendary. Even when the servers keep crashing for the normal (brilliant) BF2142, I've still got the demo version and I've always got a decent game (because I'm trashing n00bs ) as I've never found that those servers are down!

An awesome demo is the Unreal Tournament 2004 demo, man, all that deathmatch and they've always been so kind as to patch it. As for Thief, that game was amazing, I bought that back when I was 12 and I was allowed one game a month. Downloading the Thief 2 demo on dialup, all 250 megs of it, was probably the best demo experience I've ever had, lol.

Mercenaries on XBOX. The DEMO was the shit, EVERYTHING was destroyable and there were no paths. The full game took all of that away, I hit a chain link fence doing 65MPH in a hummer and bounced off. WTF?!?!?!?!?

I refuse to buy Battlefield 2142. I won't pay $50 to have ads served to me. I can get those ads for free, thank you.

The ads thing in game is actually really cool. Makes the enviorment look more real. The only ads I have seen tho are for intel or BF2142 tanks...

Yea plus the game is now 40 bucks...

Ads are like nothing, they dont even stick out...and 90% about 2142...

The gameplay is much better compared to BF2 (not vehicle infected, fun titan mode), but bf2 only life line is its mods...which are turning out to be fun, but seems to be dying now.

Seriously Demo BF2142 is way fun... the gameplay is balanced because there isnt anyone running around with fking shotguns and defribs... If they added light motion blur into the game, it would look almost real
