I was in the middle of playing and it randomly ended the game with no victor. Then my XBOX said it could not connect to the EA server. The time when it happened was 4 am Central time on Thursday Feb 25th. I was just curious to hear what time it ended for you on the day of the 25th.

it ended on the 25th.

About half an hour ago. Was about to earn my 75+ ace pin. *sad face*
 
Maptier 4 attacking. Was just shelling the defender assets around objective alpha with the russian APC/AA-vehicle. I was in 'effin blood frenzy!

it ended a little over a week ago when I saw hackers from the enemy team spawn on my team's side, in addition to the aimbots where the gunner of the Apache would hit me from across the map.   (PC BETA)

The demo is over? I didn't know it was ending

SADFACE! 
 
 
=(
 
Oh well, almost March 2nd. I hope Amazon mails my game and it arrives on Monday.

Awwww i joined the beta late and had nearly unlocked a reddot..... 
 
still the 10 second game where you run up the hill kill someone and run back was fun..  
 
Im in the UK wonder if steam will give me a US or UK release day :S. 

My interest in this game is picking up...

it ended for me when i was rank 11, unlocked all the stuff possible and could not stand the map anymore :E

Makes me wish i had a Debit Card... Blockbuster are all always late. D':

Beta or demo? I just downloaded the demo for the 360 last night. Seems pretty fun. Would be pretty disappointed if the demo no longer worked...

" @JokerSmilez:  You're out of luck, they switched the demo servers off this morning. "

The demo has been available for nearly a month, there was plenty of time to try it out. 
  
As for the why.. they probably want to use the hardware for the live servers.

Seriously? Why? The game isn't out for almost another week! That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. How do they expect people to try the game with their "demo" if the demo doesn't work? "

It just seems very odd to me. It seems most of the people who are genuinely curious about trying the game before buying will probably be checking out the game close to it's release date (or even after) whereas the people who got the demo a month ago only got it so they could play a game they already knew they were going to buy.
 
So people like me, who are hearing more talk/buzz about the game right before it's release and want to try it out, no longer can. Good job EA.

Well for starters you could have gotten it a lot earlier...but it still sucks they took it down "

I've played the beta a lot! Even thou it was just a beta, I've had much more fun with it than all of MW2. Cant wait til release!

" @JokerSmilez:   Not sure why you are so quick to make generalizations about people who played the demo while it was out simply because you didn't.  I'm not a 'rabid fanboy' of BFBC2 at all. I downloaded the demo a few weeks ago out of curiousity; at that point I had little interest in the game. But after playing a couple games I was sold. You missed your chance to play the demo, you can't expect them to keep multiplayer servers just for the demo running forever. If you still wanna try it, rent it. "

for me it ended after i finished dling it

I was just about to detonate 6 C4 on my team's last crate, thought I got banned by a moderator.

" @JokerSmilez:   Dude - BF:BC 2 (as well as all Frostbite engine games) runs only on dedicated hardware serverside. Dedicated servers cost a lot of cash to maintain. Just think of the bandwidth EA had to pay for. The demo has been a multi-million promotional effort alone from paying for that. 3.5+ million of players have checked it out. Some have played several hundered hours. I wonder how their bandwidth bill looks like for the demo. You can't expect them to keep up such a thing forever. There will probably be a singleplayer demo though. You might be in luck. "

I don't know what you are referring to... what I did explain in my post is real. The aimbot... I can't verify however the Apache was around the fork in the road in front of the 3rd location of defenders, while I was sniping as attacker by the initial parachute drop spot... on that cliff...  I was hiding behind the cliff for a while and there were shots coming my way. I doubt someone was spotting me, you must directly spot and not 'general area' spot.
 

No idea, but I've been playing the PC beta and it ended today I believe(last played it last night to get in one last game before the launch.) It was hard to go back to the Demo after playing the beta since there was actually more things to unlock and more options available.
 
Also for people complaining about the demo going down before release- guys, calm yourself. Its about a week to wait, no more. Not a very long time.

It ended for me kinda after I beefed up all the classes... and when my friends kept bitching about how much they didnt like it.
