Redwood City, CA (March 30, 2006) - EA today announced that
a free demo of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for the Xbox 360 is now available on
Xbox Live.
From EA:
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat hits shelves on April 12th, but to make the wait
a little easier we’re giving you a free taste of the critically acclaimed
multiplayer action. Download your free online multiplayer demo from Xbox Live
Marketplace, and experience the no-holds-barred intensity of the massively
popular “Bridge Too Far” level. Fly helicopters to the top of towering cranes
and skyscrapers, to gain prime Sniper vantage points. Two rivers provide natural
barriers, but the raised drawbridges mean a Hummer can execute a heart-stopping
jump to gain the element of surprise. Add powerful tanks and devastating
artillery strikes to the equation, and it’s no wonder the most popular map from
the Xbox version will soon be the definitive multiplayer experience on Xbox 360.
