A retail demo with a build date of June 23, 2004. This demo was compiled less than 20 minutes prior to the Online Beta Press Disc, however unlike the Press Disc this build contains no online functionality.
The demo includes most of Marcadia, including the linear fight to the dropship and most of the Galactic Ranger challenges. It also includes one Vid-Comic, a split-screen multiplayer demo on the Hoven Gorge map, and two promotional videos.
General Differences
Gold Titanium Bolts
In this demo titanium bolts are colored gold. This is particularly strange as a decision was made in R&C 2 to recolor regular bolts to gold for better visibility, and gold bolts to a silver color. Despite this change, these gold-colored bolts are still called "titanium bolts" when collected.
Furthermore, in the earlier Focus344 prototype the bolts are still silver, which implies that at some point in development a decision was made to change titanium bolts back to gold before reversing that decision for the final game.
