It doesn’t offer much–you’ll only get to play the online multiplayer map called Port Valdez–but it’s enough to give you a sense of just how much havoc you’ll be able to cause when the full version of _BFBC2_ goes on sale March 2nd. PC owners who pre-ordered the game can also sneak a peak at it today; the PS3 troops have to wait until Feb. 11th. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/archive/7251320/battlefield/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/archive/7251320/battlefield/"},"headline":"Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Demo Drops On Xbox 360 - Go Get It","datePublished":"2010-01-28T16:33:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T10:57:29.688Z","description":"This morning EA's DICE studio released a Xbox 260 demo of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which is sure to make first-person shooter connoisseurs very, very...","url":"https://time.com/archive/7251320/battlefield/","keywords":["Tech","EA","Playstation","PC"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/archive/7251320/battlefield/","name":"Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Demo Drops On Xbox 360 - Go Get It"}}]}] ```
