Countdown to Battlefield 1942 demo

EA launches a countdown clock for the Battlefield 1942 multiplayer demo, which is due out later this week.

Comments

Last month, EA released a single-player demo of Battlefield 1942, but since the game is focused on multiplayer team action, the upcoming multiplayer beta is likely to draw more attention. On the official site for the game, EA has put up a timer that is counting down to the release of the multiplayer demo this Friday. The demo will include one map, Wake Island, which is a horseshoe-shaped island that challenges the Japanese forces to capture American bases by launching aerial and amphibious attacks from the carrier and destroyer anchored offshore. The demo will include eight vehicles and all five of the game's infantry classes.

Check back later in the week for more details on the demo's release. For more information on Battlefield 1942, check out our preview coverage of the game.
