Call Of Duty Demo Gets Universal Release

Posted by simoniker on from the curse-that-dratted-egalitarianism dept.

Thanks to several readers for pointing out the PC demo for Activision's World War II FPS Call Of Duty has been released - there are mirrors at Gamer's Hell, 3D Gamers, and a BitTorrent via FileRush, and Blue's News, as well as providing a longer list of mirrors, clarifies: "The 174 MB demo offers the single-player Burnville mission from Infinity Ward's upcoming shooter." This public release follows last night's controversy over the demo's exclusivity to FilePlanet, and Activision's subsequent change of heart, following a petition from many of the major game sites.

    It's not a dupe. It's what they call a "follow up".

    More like cheap, inexpensive mirrors. Their own site doesn't have the demo up. I guess they wanna save money and bandwidth by having other sites post it up. Goes to show how much trust management has in the game if they don't think they can spare the cash to pay bandwidth expenses.

    Wow, just amazing. I'll be buying it that's for sure. Even better than MOHAA. The demo is way too short though.

    It's not a multiplayer game.

    I for one am glad that there are some really good single player games. Or rather games that focus mainly on that experience. I've had enough deathmatch, I'm sure there will be some multiplayer included, but it's really not necessary.

    Company does stupid thing, Slashdot gives them publicity. Company corrects its stupid mistake, Slashdot gives them even more publicity. Don't you think this is simply going to induce more companies to do stupid things just to get more notice?

    He may not have been talking deathmatch style multiplayer - I know that I really want a decent FPS games that can be played co-op on my LAN.

    I was really dissapointed that Medal of Honor didn't have a co-op mode.

    Oh yeah. My mistake if he was.

    I would love to see the rebirth of co-op. I actually thought that MOH had co-op (their definition is a bit different from mine) and bought it the other night only to find out it wasn't against the computer.

    I gotta say one of the best game experiences was beating Doom 2 playing co-op with a friend. Why this option was abandoned I have no idea.

    We should start a petition ::)

    If you'd actually downloaded the demo ( from bittorrent, sweet! ) you would've noticed that it states online Axis vs. Allies multiplayer.

    D'oh!
