Demo Discussion Thread

Hm, not quite what I was expecting. I'm reporting the same problems as everyone else regarding load screens and the like. Framerate on the land battle map (haven't tried sea yet) and even the opening movie was pretty low. The battle itself was somewhat enjoyable although, again, the framerate dampened. I turned the graphic settings down pretty low, too.

That said, I'd like to remind everybody that it's just a demo and that CA has been working on this for a number of years, even pushing the release date back a few times. Have faith, guys.

The demo was reportedly pulled back into studio to recieve more work to "make it ready and releasable". I'm afraid there's not much that can make me optimistic about the game as a whole if I have to suffer through wait times anywhere close to these. Unless CA comes on these forums and specifically tells me those problems are not in the main game, or other members report that, I highly doubt I will be purchasing the game.

The demo of any game has one main purpose which is to sell you on the full product, whatever that may be. This demo did everything but that.
