Problems playing Outfit and BattleF DEMOS

BritanniaJaf · 18-04-2006, 9:18 PM

Can somebody explain to me why i cant play these demos, just said can only be played on live, seems a bit pointless for that, do these games not give you just a normal level to play like all the other demos

Am expecting to get slaughtered for this so feel free

Im sure I played the outfit in single player....shortly before deletion because i didnt like it !

Online demos are another way of the games companies beta testing their products en masse.

The Outfit was MP only!

Why does it seem pointless? What IS pointless is your post saying it's pointless, since it isn't pointless, it's giving you a demo of the main part of the game, the Live play. Battlefield is all about playing online.

So you are telling me as soon as you buy a game you go straight onto xbox live without playing it first

In the case of the above games then yes...

I bought up this point before. I do find it irritating that they release a multiplayer demo only and not say its MP only before we commit to download. It's just a waste of time for people who do not have a gold account or only one controller finding out they can't play it after spending time and money downloading it.

Perhaps they do it for the download figures? Who knows.

It is annoying that they dont mention before you download whether the demo is single or multiplayer but those 2 games you mention are best when being played online, sure single player is fun but it just doesnt compare and with 12 months Live costing as little as £20 its a shame to be missing out.

Doesn't the BF:MC demo say something about being online in the download description???
