I hate websites that make you sign up (or pay a fee) to download a game demo. It's a free demo! What's with all the strings? That's why I like Yahoo Games. Right now, I'm downloading the Battlefield 2142 demo. That's over a gig of data. Yahoo didn't hassle me at all. If not for this simplicity, I might have passed on the latest version of the Battlefield franchise.

I'm a big fan of Battlefield 1942. I consider it one of the greatest games of all time. How many other games let you drive a tank, then fly an airplane, all on the same level? Sometimes, I would stay perched in a church tower - doing my sniper thing. Other times, I would be friendly. I would be a combat engineer - repairing tanks and airplanes. The diversity of gameplay, that increased the replay value. Will I enjoy Battlefield 2142 as much? I'm roughly 900 MEGs away from finding out.

I've installed the demo, but I can't get past the account creation, it crashes my video card driver.

I couldn't play Battlefield 2, so I'm not too surprised about this.

What kind of Video Card are you using? Did you try updating your drivers?

I think I'm going to try this demo when I get home from work today.. was it any good Photics?

Oh yah... it was the best
(If you like error screens)

It reminded me why I stopped playing Battlefield 1942. Game performance was often spotty. I had trouble finding a decent server too. I was hoping that the latest version of Battlefield would be better... but apparently not!

I tried downloading this demo 3 times .. the farthest I got was 76%, then I'd have some sort of connection problem. The file is fairly large (slightly over 1 gig) so be warned, if you don't use a download manager, you'll be taking your chances.

Can anyone suggest an exceptionaly good free download manager?
