    Is it like a fully functional demo that's only active for 24 hours, or is a giveaway of the actual game?

    It's the full game for 24 hours. After that you'll have to buy it.

    It works like this. Download the game (full version) now and on Friday you can play it for a full 24 hours. You can play it till you beat it but you have 24 hours. ;)

    So, it was like the UT3 thing a while back I suppose~ Well, I can say one thing though. Definitely going to be difficult to find any free servers this Friday~ :D

    Oh okay so it's a 24 hour demo. I may give it a try. Come to think of it though, it is kind've lame that Steam does not offer full time demos of any of their games.
