Public Demo will be released at 11 AM CST. Probably won't take long for it to spread all over the internet.

I'm already downloading it.... for free! Thank you FILEPLANET!!!! I just hope my connection doesn't get severed before it finishes: The file for the demo is 700+ megs.... the game looks awesome, reminds me of Star Trek Armada II with the C&C Generals graphics engine.

Yeeeaaaaaaaa........ that's kinda why I mentioned fileplanet. Also, if you have a profile with fileplanet, then you also have, or can have, an account with Gamespy, which is who BF is played through, at least I do. Oh well, I tried.
