Hi All,
I’m Gordon Van Dyke and I’m the Associate Producer for Battlefield: Battlefield Bad Company 2 here at EA’s DICE studio in Stockholm.
Today we’re excited to announce that our forthcoming multiplayer beta is coming exclusively to PS3, so you’ll have a chance to experience all the action, destruction and vehicular warfare ahead of our full release on the March 2010.
Starting on November 19th the beta will feature the huge ‘Arica Harbour’ map where up to 24 players compete to secure valuable crates in the ‘Rush’ game mode as the action moves across a variety of different locations. From an initial vehicle assault on a military outpost the war winds through streets of a deserted town to an intense final fire-fight in an industrial harbour.
Check out our announcement video. For a preview on the beta itself click here
Getting access to the beta will differ from country to country but here are a few specific ways of getting hold of a key…
- We’ll be holding a special limited giveaway right here on the Playstation Blog
- Pre-ordering the game at participating retailers
- Checking out selected gaming sites such as IGN or Gamespot in North America.
That’s it for now…although if you have any questions then let me know. Be sure to check back here tomorrow when we have a brand new trailer.
//GvD

HI. Im from germany and i cant wait for this game, too. I ordered it at amazon.de but I cant get the beta if I order in germany. You can only get the beta if you order at gamestop.com. this is unfair.

i’d love to buy this game, but even better is a beta before the release, and you said about a promotional code with participating retailers, could you give us a list of these retailers? i live in the UK and the one i’m looking for is GAME or gamestation, could you let me know please. i loved bf1943 and cant wait for this one.

How can anyone say this is going to be better than MW2, the controls are horrible and the missions drag on and on. GO INFINITY WARD!

SO COOL! i loved it b4 and now i read the article and thats all real game footage its so much better
i was literally playing BC1 10 mins ago
very nostalgic but still great
does anyone know when this competiton will be held? ive already pre-ordered but i might have been too late so i wanna try and make sure i get in.
if by some fluke i get two codes (unlikely) then ill hold a giveaway, or maybe a quiz to see who is boned up on their battlefield knowledge! HAHA XD

What should a person do, if he/she wants to be 100% sure, that he/she got the beta?
And do people with a platinum or max gamerscore get any bonuscontent in the full game?
Lastly I will say that i’m really looking forward to the second game(sequal), as the first was really epic. And after seeing some videos it seems BF:BC2 will be more dynamic and with a better flow!

heres hoping ign stop screwing its european subscribers who pay the same fees out of all relevant betas its been commonplace for some time and would be nice if dice did more for its european fans coz we r getting shafted by the folk entrusted with the rights 2 distribute keys
236
Posted on 15 November, 2009 at 6:35 am by Godly3vil
Hi, could you please tell me if the betas gonna be available to people from New Zealand?, as we seem to miss out on alot of these because we’re such a small country, would be such a shame if we’re not able to as BFBC is a great game,
cheers
Jamie
(ps. See you on the battlefield, (hopefully))

C.O.D absolutely smokes this game, WAW MW and MW2. Although Battlefield is a good game its not up there with the likes of The C.O.D series by no means. Like all The OMG commments and people saying they would do anything to get there hands on either The game or a code, WTH s all that about????
243
Posted on 15 November, 2009 at 1:48 pm by Dragonslayer157

I really wanted to get a beta code, but I guess I’m too late
I got the swine flu 1,5 weeks ago so I wasn’t able to check internet for beta code give-aways and stuff.. ;(
i would do anything to just get the chance participate in the beta.
im from EU (the netherlands) by the way.
