Anyone download the demo via PSN or XBL? What do you think?

Who actually got the code to play the demo? I haven't received mine, and the beta went to public demo on May 29th. :cry:

On Xbox Live, you just have to go to the Marketplace and go into the Demos and it will be there available for a free download, =)

downloaded it on XBL, its sweet, prob gonna buy it

I played it and really enjoyed it, all of the guns have a very satisfying feel to them, and kick hard, with a pleasing noise. While I like games like COD4, I had a problem with the weapon sounds because well.. They didn't really sound like gun sounds at all, just quiet pops of air. The multiplayer is also fun, pretty unique, though I found the vehicle controls to be pretty broken. My biggest gripe, which many will may think is stupid, is that when you are checking the weapons stats, there are a few different areas, like "accuracy, recoil, damage", and... Clip capacity. It's called a mag! I got angry about that because, cmon', your a company making a game about war, you should be expected to know that there is a difference between a clip, and a magazine. None of the guns in that are even clip-loaded, they are all mag loaded. It really upsets me whenever someone gets the two confused, and the fact that it's in a big-name-game like this disgusts me. Remember kids, a magazine and a clip are not the same thing. Well.. Thats my two cents.

i played bbc on both xbl and psn and it looks and sounds very good on a hdtv

Yeah... that whole clip v. mag thing... If they screwed that up, what else will they screw up and rob the realism of it? I mean... true it's only a video game... but still... the main problem I had with COD4 was that it was WAY fake... Like halo only the Elites and grunts were commies and islamo-facists. I don't know if I really wand another fake game.

It's still a public beta, all it would take would be a software update. I'm just ticked off about it, is that it's not for PC....

Well, it may be ported to the PC at another point, but I think the reason for console exclusivity is because past iterations of the series on the console have blown. Also folks, the beta is over now. They are just going to have the demo for now, considering it consists of some semi-deep multiplayer for players to work on, and rank up until the release of the game in only a few weeks. People should be able to hold out on that until it comes out.

I actually playtested this game a couple months back at EA.

The best FPS coming out within the next 12 months will be "Aliens: Colonial Marines". Simply put, this game was brought back to fruition from the boneyard and is being made into one of the best looking, true to the Alien series games ever made. It's will feature everything from the James Cameron film Aliens weaponry wise (I.E. M41A Pulse Rifle, M56 Smartgun, M240 Flamethrower, M4A2 Sidearm, 12 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun (Hicks), Remote Sentry Guns, Portable Welding Torches, Motion Trackers, etc etc etc. The story surrounds a squad of USCM members sent to recon the crew of the ill fated Sulaco to find an alien infestation onboard. There will be many different planets/worlds to play on as well as an awesome multiplayer feature.

Ghostbusters might be cool. I liked the gameplay I've seen so far.
