I don't know where exactly to get it. Heard some people got it in the mail, others got it from their local game store, others got it from eBay. Me? I went into Best Buy, bought their preorder pack for $5, and the demo was included, along with coupons.
It's Best Buy's preorder deal. If you actually want to get it there, it's $5 off the game price when you pick it up. But me, I already got it ordered. I just paid $5 cause I wanted the demo. You can go do the same, just check around the PS2 stuff for a SOCOM box.
Anyway, I just got a little farther, about 30% through, rushing, and then I got killed. Fun game, but I have a few worries:
1) Online team-based games rarely ever get played properly, with the teams working together. I do not want to play with some fool who is going to rush through the game, going on a shooting spree and getting himself killed. I actually want to play with people who are good at the game, and work as a unit to win.
2) This game needs to have good documentation, cause playing the demo leaves a lot to be learned. As I was walking through they told me to order Bravo team to run to Zulu. So I did, but why? And where is Zulu? I should be using my own brain to determine which orders to give, but I have no clue where these positions are, and no way to really know why I would want to send them there.
I'll give more details when I play more. Overall the game has yet to disapoint, but it's gonna take some time to learn the game. Hopefully I'll master the demo by the time the full version comes out. Quicker I become good means the quicker I can play online.
