Here’s a video game trivia question for you. What game is set to have the fastest downloaded demo in EA’s history? If you answered Battlefield: Bad Company 2, well, give yourself a pat on the back because you are right!
This kind of reception (with over 2 million PSN and Xbox Live downloads put together) will definitely result in cash registers ringing when the full game comes out in March 2010. I’ve played the demo on the PS3 and it’s pretty crazy out there, like Quake Wars, and you really have to experience it for yourself.
Check out the following Press Release from EA on BC2’s record breaking demo run.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is on Pace to Become the Fastest Downloaded Demo in EA History
STOCKHOLM, Feb 11, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ:ERTS), today announced that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is on pace to become the fastest downloaded demo* in EA history.
