Official Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Beta Thread

EA the only place to get a free beta key? I've been trying all day but keep getting:
Registration failed. Please try again later

Even though it's sending out my welcome to the newsletter email each time....

Just played the Beta. It's a very fun game, definitely worth a pick up imo.

When i played sniper for a bit, it was kind of disappointing not being able to prone tho.

you'll get used to it. i thought i missed it when i first got in game, but now i could care less. you can still really use the destructible environments well to ambush.

Check your PM's, Flak.

jamez243 · Feb 5, 2010

So I have been looking and looking is anything left out there or is (that you all know of) every key gone?

Thanks

James

I meant the free keys because I don't get paid till next week and can't preorder yet

I tried going to the site but getting the Registration Failed error as well.

Yeah has to be a first for the BF collection. To bad. It made heavy
machine gunning a lot deadlier and sniping of course speaks for itself.
Hopefully the kneeling recoil won't be so bad. I haven't played it enough yet to notice.
Some games though if you have a MG and aren't prone it is useless. DOD being the worst.

FreedomEclipse · Feb 5, 2010

Yeah that's pretty funny. I'm going to try marking a few sniper next time I play.

I already tried that,Had one on defense side hogging the TOW at the 2 storey building,Flanked him and out of ammo,Pull out the tracer hit him a few seconds later he lites up like a roman candle priceless. :roll:

FreedomEclipse · Feb 5, 2010

Different ways.

You can preorder the game on Steam and get a key, you could go to fileplanet or other game sites that are giving keys out(gamespot.com is giving some out to) and register with there to site get a key.

The official website for BC2 is also giving out keys for the beta.

Keep in mind you will have to register with most to all these sites to get a key. And after you get a key, you just download the BC2 beta client.

ShRoOmAlIsTiC · Feb 5, 2010

the fileplanet one isnt working anymore. there done giving out keys.

FreedomEclipse · Feb 5, 2010

bah, it wont allow me to register for a beta key.

YinYang.ERROR · Feb 5, 2010

I figure most people are out of beta keys by now. You may get lucky and find a working one, but I doubt it. It is probably best just to wait for the games release in March.

CDdude55 · Feb 5, 2010

As everyone has said, most sites are probably out of keys now. As the Beta has been going on for a while now, so it's no surprise.

FreedomEclipse · Feb 5, 2010

awww *sad panda moment*

TRIPTEX_CAN · Feb 5, 2010

Just pre-order with Steam and download the beta. Right click to get the key and write it down. then cancel the pre-order.

Scrizz · Feb 5, 2010

there are plenty of beta keys available.
You just have to preorder to get access to them.

Why cancel before trying it out

He thinks he can keep the Beta without the pre-order.

There are aspects of MW2 I like that BC2 doesn’t have and vise versa. The only semi realistic thing about MW2 is the throwing knife. Battlefield doesn’t have magic infinitely straight flying bullets from absurd distances, which I like. I don’t know how long matchmaking will be sustained in MW2 on the pc versus the dedicated servers of BC2. I do know that my friends on Xbox Live/PSN will be jumping ship the second BC2 is released. And a few friends who are PC gamers that actually bought MW2 will be buying into BC2 for that reason.

As far as fluidity and ease of use…MW2 is a no brainer.

But better feeling more realistic combat…I’m sorry BC2 is better.

Don’t need to reiterate that Dedicated servers > Matchmaking

just the fact that you copy/pasted this in both BC2 threads, makes me call shens.
let alone the fact that your "gripes" aren't even. they are subjective, and even untrue at that!
