I think we're going to send an email out to everyone about this, but we are going to be turning off the multiplayer beta when the multiplayer demo is released. We really want people to convert their servers as quickly as possible and don't want the community to be split.

The demo will not be held exclusively anywhere and we'll be giving it to as many mirrors as possible as soon as possible. In fact, our web team has been experimenting with BitTorrent stuff so we'll likely host a seed for it at launch as well (we did that with the SP demo).

Everyone will need to download the demo - it's roughly the same size as the beta was.

onoes!!1

edit: so the demo won't need a key to install, right?

can't wait to see the changes.

Good decision.

Did it take your web team long to figure out how to name a file .torrent?

**Fool** · 5 - 09-24-2004, 10:53 AM

Uh, when?

**Silverspirit** · 6 - 09-24-2004, 10:54 AM

looking forward to it :]

how many maps does it (the demo) have?

**Killjoy** · 11 - 09-24-2004, 10:56 AM

wonder how this will effect pending matches if the maps are different, which I am sure at least 1 or 2 will be.

Uhh because it would be smart Marketting decision to show different maps then the beta, it would pull people in that may have not liked the beta maps etc.

Smart marketing decision != for sure

And why buy retail when you can have all the maps in the free demo!

**jsut** · 18 - 09-24-2004, 11:01 AM
