In case you're not aware, there was quite a large fuss over the Call of Duty demo. It was going to be released only to Fileplanet subscribers for a one week exclusive but a group of fansites took issue with this. Then earlier today or last night Activision released this response:
Quote:
The recent reaction to the upcoming Call of Duty demo has caught us here at Activision by surprise. We're appreciative and excited about the high level of enthusiasm the game has received throughout the gaming community. Due to the tremendous demand for the demo – we are answering the call by not only making the demo freely available to all gamers at the same time, but early – This Friday Night - just in time for the long weekend.
Gamespy has been a great partner - working with us so that we can make our fans happy and give them a taste of a game they're clearly excited about. The demo will be available across the net on fan and gaming coverage sites, including GameSpy's FilePlanet.
We think you'll love Call of Duty, and we can't wait for you to play the demo. Look for it Friday night!

Thats pretty cool, so we all get to play the demo quite a bit earlier thanks to these guys and their complaints. I downloaded the demo earlier today and the game is pretty fun. Its hard to tell how it stacks up to say MOH:AA with only 1 level, but the emphasis on squad based combat is appealing. The aiming with the right click is also unique and something I haven't seen. I wish there was multiplayer.
