Official Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Beta Thread

AphexDreamer · Jan 27, 2010

I'm low on cash and want to get many games both PC and PS3 and I'm considering sacrificing one of those many games (Bioshock 2, Dante's Inferno, FF Versus, MAG etc...) to get this one.

Question is SHOULD I? What makes the game so great that I should stop playing my MW 2 on my PS3?

If I had to choose one reason.. dedicated servers. If I had to add a second reason.. destructible environments and their tactical advantages to the gameplay.

Also don't forget AvP next month.. might be as good as this game too. Also better then MW2.. IMO.

I would pass MAG out of that list for this.

I just updated the first post with new screen shots! This game is going to be great!

InnocentCriminal · Jan 28, 2010

Well I get home, and my GF has received her key but I'm still waiting for mine.

I hate Play.com - I hate them!

TIGR · Jan 28, 2010

Just got my beta key an hour ago! 8 hours to go time. Who's all playing?

Feel free to add me on XFire or Steam, username: TIGRCS

shevanel · Jan 28, 2010

they had an episode on G4 that talked with devs of this game and how it's going to or supposed to be the "MW2 Killer"... The SP really looks good and from what theyve shown on that show it does rival Crysis alot but with more realism and much more physics.

Get a grip man!! Control yourself! Have some cake.

Still no beta on Steam yet.

W1zzard · Jan 28, 2010

anyone know of places with beta keys?

Chomes · Jan 28, 2010

No beta and no key for steam at Spain, I suppose we will it get later as usual.

Cake does sound good...

W1zzard said:

I don't think any are up yet, since most people who have pre-ordered the game don't even have their keys yet or their client. But I'm betting after the 28th they will start popping up.

rpsgc · Jan 28, 2010

Apparently there's 50 keys to be given away here:

Here's the cake

TIGR · Jan 28, 2010

Thanks for the link rpsgc. Might be able to get beta codes to some of my clan mates.

boise49ers · Jan 28, 2010

Codes are being released by EA stateside. I just got to work 4:45 a.m.
MST and my beta code is in my e-mail. No entitlements on EA Downloader
so I'm assuming the downloads start at 10 a.m my time Noon EST and 9 a.m. PST.

_____Update_________

Here is what I have on my e-mail:

Welcome to the forums and 'ere you go.

dartuil · Jan 28, 2010

how to get one?

The Witcher · Jan 28, 2010

Me Two days ago : "hmmm two days left, I've to do something to kill time"

Me One day ago : "YESSS one day left, I'll be able to play the beta after coming from the college"

Me 12 hours ago : "They still haven't released the beta keys...guess I've to be patient".

Me now : "I swear I'm going to blow up Valve headquarter if they didn't send me my Beta Key NOW !!!"

Seriously, some people don't respect their own date -.-.....

Have you tried reading what it says there?

Steam won't be sending beta codes apparently. The beta will magically appear on your games list. However, way to NOT have a beta pre-load Valve! *proceeds into a diverse and lengthy cursing monologue*

dartuil · Jan 28, 2010

yes but my english isnt very good I'm french sorry :/

rpsgc · Jan 28, 2010

Go there today at 20h CET.

TRIPTEX_CAN · Jan 28, 2010

I was going to stay home to wait for the download but well placed look of distaste from my wife quickly killed that idea. I'll just remote in to my PC and start the download from work.

The Witcher · Jan 28, 2010

DAMMIT !!

Bad Company 2 will be using the infamous SecuRom

I can't believe this, have they lost their minds to use the stupidest software ever made ?

I hope I don't get any problems because of it, because I already have many problems with it in my old games such as Cossakes.

The Witcher · Jan 28, 2010

I'm having problems with converting time, how many hours are left for the clock to reach 9 am PST from now ?
