All Aspect Warfare Offers Demo, Patch as Final Build Preps to go Gold

The tongue in cheek antics of an elite combat marine squad stranded on the planet they’ve been sent to destroy is yours to try out for free in the All Aspect Warfare demo. The “non-invasive” Byteshield DRM on previous demos has already been cracked and the current demo build is protected by SecuROM with the disc and activation checks disabled. Between companies fearing their games will be hacked and gamers fearing their PCs will be frelled, DRM is a very touchy subject. You can read why 3000 AD team felt the need to include DRM and more details on progress towards the final release at the All Aspect Warfare Developer Blog Website.

The All Aspect Warfare Demo build is post beta so those players who helped work out the kinks will find it a valuable go as well.

All Aspect Warfare chronicles the adventures, mishaps and all around tomfoolery of an elite team of combat marines who crash landed on the enemy planet they were sent to completely destroy. Stranded and left for dead on a planet with a deployed thermo-nuclear weapon ticking somewhere, their only chance of escape lies deep within hostile territory.
