Too watch or not too watch, gah, want to play so bad, even the PS3 one, might make me have to go play some 1943.

I wonder how many times it took that guy to get those clips, because that distance is a long ways and through trees and headshots, he's obviously good, but that still takes some serious luck.

At first when I played the beta I seen 4 classes and I was really bummed out, but honestly they did a good thing moving to 4. Each class does feel VASTLY different, like you are mant for a certain job and another class might be able to fill that role partially, but not like the perfect class would.

Assault is really the only one I would say is a bit more open ended and doesn't have a specific role, but 2 or 3 roles. Since with a Assault Rifle they get a Grenade launcher than can be Smoke, Grenades, or another thing I can't remember. They can provide good cover, and the Ammo regen is a bonus if you can live through your clips. But with a shotgun that kit does a complete 360, and I tend to like it more with a shotty. I'm not much for Snipers, and once they get Mortar Strike, there is no use for C4, heck there really isn't a ton of use for them having C4 anyways. So when you use a Shotty as Assault you now get to use that C4 in close quarters and you can regen C4 ammo, it works very well.

But beyond that one class, Medic, Engineer, Sniper, those are pretty obvious on your goals. Engineers guns are good, but any open area of map and you might as well be dead without a vehicle, those weapons are great in town, especially since no main kit has shot guns now. If you round a corner against an Engineer kit, expect to die most likely because they will put a whole clip into your corpse faster than you can say "dammit".

And now that Medics have LMG, all I have to say is "oh my jesus", I love this kit, if you like feeling like a badass mofo, nothing is cooler than this kit. And there is honestly a lot of bad medics, it's rare to get revived, but games I was in I would average around 20 - 30 revives. There times when a medic will capture that crate or flag and without him, it just wouldn't be possible. I would just sit in a corner toss health packs down, and raises my friends corpses, they would die again, but when the bullets can't reach me, that crate or flag goes down, then I die, but served that purpose.

And Snipers, well ranged, doesn't get much more simple than that. So picking your styles with the kits narrowed down to 4, it won't take long for you to feel out what you really like and you really don't like.

i like to play reckless and camp (be lazy in other words)....both assault and sniper pretty much suit my playstyle.

[1Kurgan1]

Yeah those sound to suit you, if you have a good Medic as Assault, thats a real deadly combo, never run out of ammo and can get rezed. But you might have to resort to being your own Medic if you are just playing solo sometimes, which is what I did, just Rambo it drops some HP packs and hope to live.

Also if anyone else doesn't want to spend the astronomical price for BC 2 in other countries, just let me know, I just gifted a copy to rpsgc.

[1Kurgan1]

BC 2 Beta news!

http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/batt...dex=1#comments

Very exciting to hear something, but also very disappointing that they apparently are allowing East and West Coast access to the DL 7 hours before they are allowing CET...

MailMan78 FTW! )

[InnocentCriminal]

For UK users that pre-ordered with Play.com - I rang them and they are referring people to email codesandpromos@play.com and they'll explain anything you need to know. I emailed them this morning and have yet to receive a reply.

This is beyond a joke!

That sucks Maybe if they don't respond by email by mid day tomorrow call them, and tell them you you'd just rather cancel your pre-order and go through someone else if they can't resolve it.

[InnocentCriminal]

Yeah, it looks like I'll being doing that. However I didn't want to pay for the game on Steam as it almost £10 ($16) more expensive.



My community is planning on getting a BC2 server if we enjoy the beta, if we can get on the blood thing.

>.<

[Wile E]

I will likely be grabbing this when it comes out, but I am very disappointed in DICE over the audio. They are completely full of shit in claiming that you can't hear a difference between 16bit and 24bit output. I easily hear the difference in my RE0's from a good source, even thru my aging Audigy 2ZS.

Still, it's a hell of a lot better than that pile of shit IW tried to shovel at us.

Send me the cash ($50 USD) via PayPal and I'll gift it to you on Steam. I have more to gain from helping you avoid Steam's stupid policy than I can gain from stealing your $50.

[InnocentCriminal]

Hopefully that won't have to be done but I do appreciate the offer.

When's the Beta

First, let's start by making the official time and date of the Beta the start of this Blog in what will be and EPIC moment in DICE's PC History! The PC Beta begins this Thursday, January 28th at approximately 6pm CET, 12pm EST, and 9am PST time!!!!!!! :-D



Where to Get It

The Client will be downloadable from server partner websites and Steam starting at the above listed time at a file size of 1.5GB. Here's a hyper-link reminder http://bit.ly/4GJk2a on which retailers will provide PC Beta access through pre-ordering.



Why we're Having a Beta

The Beta is happening for many reasons, like testing the infrastructure, hosting stability, and gameplay tuning (FOV, Weapon Balance, etc...) that no amount of internal testing could provide better than real world exposure. This means there will also be times of choppiness, lag, disconnects, CTDs or other issues a Beta version of any MP game would have. We'll have feedback methods similar to the PS3 Beta as well to ensure your input is gathered and heard.



Advanced warning: there will be things updated in the final game, like a Server browser with more functions, optimizations, performance tweaks, and learning's from the Beta.



This truly is a Beta, so remember that all feedback is appreciated and wanted! :-)



Hosting the Beta

Renting of Beta servers will not be possible, but we'll work closely with all our RSPs* to ensure there is always enough capacity for each individual regions.



Where to Download the Beta

We'll distribute with many partners as possible to ensure the fastest DLs no matter your location around the world. Current know locations and methods will be EADM, Steam, Torrents (only get this from legit sources, i.e. an RSP*), and all our RSP's.



Getting Started In the Beta
STEP 1: Make sure you have at least 5GB free on your HDD and then download and Install BFBC2! :-D
STEP 2: Once installation is completed (install size will be around 1.5GB) start the client and click the login button. You will then be prompted to sign in with your EA Account. If you don't have an EA Account you'll be able to create one in the same screen. (You may also create your EA Account in advance HERE)
STEP 3: Enter the unique PC Beta Code during the log in process to authenticate your participation in the Beta.
Step 4: Create your Soldier name (this will lock that name to your EA account for retail if you want to keep it).



Note: You will not be able to play or access any multiplayer menus without being authenticated. After the Beta Key is registered it will be tied to your EA Account and no longer valid for new registrations. Our game will use SecuROM for the Beta and Final games .exe, for more info on how SecuROM works in BFBC2 please read this Blog to learn about it in more detail.

Like Trip offered, I will too, I already gifted a copy to rpsgc, so if you need some help getting a copy for cheaper just let me know.

[TheLaughingMan]

Tomorrow at 6 p.m. I will be at work. That sucks balls.

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

I might actually stay home tomorrow to download and play the beta. I have "sick days" at work and I don't get reimbursed if I don't use them... so I use them for epic game release days.

My download speed is god awful through verizon in Orange County, CA. I was going to stay home but it probably won't be finished till the next morning anyway so I will just take a 3 day weekend.

[kid41212003]

I'm using U-Verse, and i'm in OC too....

Can I have anyone steam name?

3 day weekends are pure gold.

I would think that you could get a better connection in OC.

TRIPTEX --> should be the only one out there.

FIOS is the better of the 2 services Verizon offers...but it's not available in my area yet! The SECOND it is...I'm all over it.

Road Runner was awful in my neighborhood but I had mad fast download speeds. However, I only had service about 2 weeks out of a month. Verizon has gone down twice in 3 years and never more than for 5 hours. So that's the trade off!

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

OT:

-Lemode.. Which LG 27" do you have?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

it says he has the HP 27" in his sys specs....

[Scrizz]

I want to join

Scrizz *** Scrizz *** Assault/Recon
Steam name: Scrizz

[kid41212003]

Might if I add you in steam for some squad action?
