Battlefield Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Beta Coming Soon 
Nov 05, 2009
 
It's a great day for PS3 owners today, as DICE, the Swedish game studio behind the always entertaining Battlefield series, has announced that the first multiplayer beta for its upcoming Battlefield Bad Company 2 is coming November 19, exclusively for the Sony console.  The multiplayer beta will include a new map, Arica Harbour, and one new game mode, Rush, for up to 24 players to play.  (The full game, due out in March 2010, will feature four multiplayer modes.) This map is said to feature a balance of vehicle and infantry combat, with the American forces attacking a Russian army base and moving through a desert town on its way towards trying to overtake the Arica Harbor.
 
PC and Xbox 360 fans? Yeah, we hear you.  We're crying a little inside, too.  But don't despair completely: Your turn shall come. DICE will be inviting PC gamers to participate in an open beta in December, while another multiplayer demo for all platforms is due to arrive early next year.  Actually PC gamers shouldn't do much but rejoice, since the first game wasn't available for them at all, so a big huzzah there for bringing this newer wing of the Battlefield franchise back to the platform it all started on.  (And good grief, has it really been seven years already since Battlefield 1942? That's just frightening.)
 
So, yay for PS3 owners, and DOH, for now, for everyone else. And what have we learned? That the only safe bet is to just own every platform, all the time.  Be platform agnostic.  Sony's happy, Microsoft is happy, you're happy. Everybody wins.
For the full report, read the official press release. And for more information about the game, visit the Official Website.
 
 
Hands On:

i think I will just skip MW2

I really hope this title works out.  I played the first one and was not impressed, but from these videos.... things look to be very much improved.  The visuals alone are fantastic

PC owners are the big winners here, PS3 people have to pre-order from Gamespot or Best Buy, we get it for free

BLIZZARD BURN IN THE FIRES OF RAGE

STARCRAFT2 DELAYED TILL POSSIBLY JUNE 2010

I just downloaded the trailer from the Europe store, guess which version they were using. *facepalm* A blue x to reload and the 360 d-pad.

Lol...really..."exclusive beta's"? I'm so lost in this console war.

The game looks pretty sweet but after playing Uncharted 2 and Ratchet ACiT I don't think an FPS will ever get my attention again.

Agreed. And I wish they'd stop calling it an "EXCLUSIVE PS3 BETA" when the PC gets it a couple weeks after (for free)

Exclusive stuff infiltrates into beta...what's next...

Hands on:

Yes, the horror, I too downloaded that video and was shocked that they used the 360 version for a PSN video - This has me seriously worried about just how does the PS3 version look...

Now in the past they have been known to make the copies look the same, but all the videos seem to be of the 360 version which really has me worried...

-But let me just say I am too excited about this game.. Looks unreal - just amazing... Can't wait for the Beta- it's going to be Awesome.

WE DONT STOP PLAYING BECAUSE WE GROW O L D... WE GROW O L D BECAUSE WE STOP PLAYING.

Did you watch this video:

lol, so now its ok to use the exclusive between consoles and pc. haha

and Odion, if the 360 were the console to have the pre-order, you would have praised them.

fanboyism is such fail here

 

I like the look of this game, this might be my next FPS purchase.

I'm am deffinetly going to buy this, the last game was freakin GREAT.

Yeah I watched it but that video is also of the 360 version... or did you not notice the B button...

-when was the last time you used the B button on your PS3? Because I use red Circle, no B button here... LoL

WE DONT STOP PLAYING BECAUSE WE GROW O L D... WE GROW O L D BECAUSE WE STOP PLAYING.

I played BFBC to the death.  It was the first, FPS that I had played since Goldeneye on the 64.  (I have been busy for the last seven years or so!)

It was pure fun, and I cannot wait to start playing the Beta.  Hopefully, you can still collect dogtags.

Damn Captain thanks for posting the new video..


That looks so awesome... I love the Tank getting shot.... so friggin awesome day one this game... I hope..

So you call me a "Troll,'' Yet come into this thread and blatantly troll the thread with your useless comment about a fps never getting your attention again....

that my friend is a HYPOCRITE :).

Ontopic.

I hope DICE keeps game support for a long time on this game compared to bc1 but I have one question.

Do you guys know if veteran status is still in effect for bc2? I would think so but I was just wondering, if it is still in effect I will buy the game on 360 but it would be nice playing for free on the psn if the veteran status is gone.

Also I agree that pc players have it made, the consoles get bc2 and soon the pc players get the REAL battlefield game bf3...jealous much.

I just hope that stupid kidnapping crap in the old battlefield games is gone.
