BattleField 2 Demo Leaked?

[oddcrap]

Everything Removed, proved to be fake.. sorry guys :)

UPDATE #2

During the last few days there was quite some intense trouble going on because of an allged leaked version of BF2. Many many users got confused by so called "proofs". They relied on the community websites doing their job according to the responsibility they have for their readers and perform serious investigations prior to posting news. Sincs we have been struck by heavy amounts of requests (see i. e. our forums) we went to EA and asked for details. In a personal talk with EA we have been informed about the tremendeous trouble that was caused by this roumor. Remedies of the HL2-leak resurfaced (we covered this earlier). EA and Dice went to any lengthes to verify each and every single "proof" going around on the internet. Not a single "proof" stood up to its name and all of them have been discharged as (sometimes very poorly crafted) fakes and mockups. Despite all efforts undertaken to contain the rumors it kept on floating around. Every minute new requests about the leak flooded the support's email accounts. After many hours of investigation it was eventually confirmed that all the trouble and work and the continously reappearing rumors are all to the credit of one single website publishing those "proofs". Of course we wanted to know whoom to thank for all this mess. This is the answer we got:

To the operators of BF2.net,

DICE and EA wish to convey to you our profound disappointment in the recent handling by your site of "news" of an alleged leak of our title, Battlefield 2. Aside from the fact that the end result of this coverage was that your news site was "hoaxed" by a member of the community, we don't believe that coverage of this nature reflects well on BF2.net as a responsible partner of EA and DICE. At this time we would like to let your team know that we will be taking these sort of occurrences into account as we determine which outlets to grant exclusive interviews and exclusive content to going forward. The Battlefield 2 Team Looks like we all have to thank one single website for all the trouble, stress and work which wanted to gain high profile by prematurely posting news. The this website's editorial office did nothing to verify their "proofs". Instead of asking EA/Dice they went running around showing their wonderball heating the temper. The success? Much ado 'bout nothing. A lot of work, anger and a damage not to be estimated for the whole community. Not only that EA and Dice got a brief impression of how low it can get in terms of standards for doing coverage with some "community sites", no, it also looks like all this was done intentionally and despite knowing better. We should not be too surprised if EA and Dice would be even more sparse and more carefull with informations and preferably give them to established mediarepresentations (printing press, tv...) instead of to the web-community, who preferes to present itself by such selected examples of professional coverage. We would like to thank for this special duty this "First german Battlefield 2 Community" did to all the fans and the Battlefield Community in general. Many thanks to Spawn, and Whoo, and Dark Neo, and all the others over at Glevel-Network. Good work!

1st of april.. hmmmm

if this is true, then the bf2 demo is over 2gb to download! lol, something smells mighty fishy here :yes:

you've also done a really poor job of the screenshot, your photoshop skills are poor: check out the lines and blurring around the soldier in the middle and the different resolution of the first person view :rolleyes:

The first picture above is a combination of a Unreal Engine 3 preview shot and some bad photoshoped planes and marines.

[oddcrap]

I didn't make anything, all images, ect were aquired from a source.

those windmills don't look liek something that would be in a game based on modern day military.

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Yeah - you might not have done anything mate, but that top picture couldn't be any more a Photoshop jobbie if it tried! Hahaha...

all i can say is that im 99.99% positive from my sources RELOADED never released this. *if this is even a real Leaked Demo*

IMO its some little school boys abusing a respected groups name to spread crap

over the internet.

[Timan Veteran]

I sure hope that screenshot is a joke, its an unreal 2 screenshot, with bf2 renders, and a hud from someones arse it looks it.

[Gelob]

Its confirmed that RELOADED never released this. But were still not sure if some release is even on THAT SITE. I will confrim that soon.

Awhile ago I saw a friend of a friend on Xfire and it said he was playing Battlefield 2... what's that about? It said Battlefield 2, but the game icon was just the default blue Xfire "X".

[former1]

BattleField2 demo was not released by reloaded, nor has it been leaked. However a playable build which was given to beta testers has been leaked, but hasn't really surfaced.

[oddcrap]

A friend of mine said it's real?
