But after playing the Beta quite a bit, I REALLY did not like how the Modern Warfare game mechanics worked in a WWII setting...

To me it seems as simple as cutting the content you don't want out, while still keeping anything you might want in there...seems simple enough, which is why I don't understand when SOME dev's say they can't put out a demo because it's too much work. Some games that have solid levels like Halo 3, CODMW or CODWAW, should be relatively easy to rip a demo from, while other stuff like Mass Effect, I can understand how making a demo might be hard....

If so, from a marketing standpoint, I don't think this was too wise of a decision. My logic is that anybody who was curious about the game and on-the-fence about buying it has most likely found another way of checking it out (via renting or friends, most likely) by now. I simply don't think that this demo will reach a wide, untapped market of gamers. Hell, now that I think about it, I don't know if releasing the demo prior to the games' release would've resulted in a significant increase in sales. This franchise has such a loyal following that people pretty much knew right away if they were buying this or not. Does anybody have any idea if making and releasing a demo is costly?

I'm a little surprised they are releasing the demo so long after the game is out. I agree. I'm a little surprised they are releasing the demo so long after the game is out.

Too bad I've already experienced the game or I would be way excited for this. wow, that's pretty cool. Too bad I've already experienced the game or I would be way excited for this.
