BC2 Demo Delay for NA

Yup, just found out that the Feb. 4th date for the PS3 demo is for EU only. The demo for the Americas will be Feb. 11th. You can still play early however if you download it with a EU PSN.

do we know if the demo will be the same as the BETA or will it be a different map, more functionality, etc?

Different map (Port Vladez), Older version of the game. It honestly baffles me why DICE would release an older build of the game as an open demo. This is what everyone is gonna be playing so that they can get a feel for the game, and find out what all the hype is about, but all they get is bad ragdolls and crates that can be killed with a couple C4 charges. Not only that, but you can ram the helo into the ground/trees/buildings and it wont die. Ridiculous. (Note that as I said, this is an old build. What was in the beta beofre will be in the main game.)

It's not because they can create games that they are smart ..

Update...

North America Demo Tomorrow, Feb. 4.
