Gamers
planning on kicking off the weekend with some modern combat were shellshocked when they checked Xbox Live Marketplace
Friday and found Battlefield 2 absent without explanation. It turns out EA has deleted a press release announcing a
March 24 release of the BF2MC demo. Unsatisified with that cagey PR move, a user in the Xbox forums bled this
response out of EA support:Hi ,
Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.
The game was to be on the marketplace this Friday 24th of March, but it was pushed back until next week. It should be up some time between Tuesday the 28 or Wednesday the 29 of March.
Best Regards,

Given the miserable track record with Ridge Racer 6 and The Outfit, Friday just doesn't seem to be the day to plan your hot demo release. Pretty lame when you consider it's the day most working stiffs finally get to settle into the couch with their controller.
