EA Confirms No Battlefield 3 Demo
Despite prior rumors, EA confirmed that there will not be a pre-release Battlefield 3 demo. This rumor began when Patrick Bach told MSXbox-World that an early Battlefield 3 demo would be released. It made sense, since EA is positioning Battlefield 3 to be a Call of Duty killer, and a pre-release demo would be a fine way to lure Call of Duty regulars to try out Battlefield in the fall while waiting for the next installment of Activision’s juggernaut. Bach did not specifically call out a demo, but answered positively to a question about a demo, not giving any details on gameplay. An EA spokesperson has said that Patrick Bach, when telling MSXbox-World of a pre-release demo, was actually referring to the multiplayer beta.
