Battlestations: Midway demo News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

17 January, 2007

Get those periscopes up, them funny beeping noises on, and air-pump that water from the sink-chambers: we're surfacing this Battlestations Midway demo.

At least that's probably what Eidos was telling itself, before it confirmed a multiplayer sample of the game would be available on Xbox Live tomorrow.

This snippet of Midway will give players a chance to rampage around one multiplayer map, Island of Solomon, in either a fighter-plane, battleship, or submarine. It's the Americans against the Japanese, and the first nation to destroy the other's naval base, air base, and aircraft-carrier wins. Simple really, this war lark.

The full game is due for release on 9th February, for PC and Xbox 360.

Johnny Minkley recently braved the stationary plights of the HMS Belfast to bring us footage of the game for the Eurogamer TV Show - Episode 6.

You can also cast a seaworthy eye over our recent preview for the game, or simply sign up for the Navy.

"It's the Americans against the Japanese"

There's some irony in there somewhere, surely?

Finally, a demo after donkeys years on LIVE !!!

Would prefer single player though, to get a feel for the game before looking like a retard on multiplayer :)

disc - There's a PC demo coming out in the next few days. Keep an eye on the official forum ( http://forums.eidosgames.com/forumdispla... ) for more details, I'm in the process of busting PR's balls so I can announce a date.

Wow, This demo is bad

You cant see who`s speaking at any time, kind of confusing
You cant see the ping of the host before you connect, so its just luck if you hit a non-laggy host
Lott of random crashes here for me

Not to metion the actual gameplay, It just seems unfinished

This is a must miss for me, just because of these points, I want to play the game not spend ages just sitting in a lobby or waiting for xbox to restart.
