Fiery high system requirements. At least we can say it will become the next BF2 in one way of perspective.

I'm just happy because I meet all those reqs...

Battlefield moments episode 3 :O



Glad to see the rape-all UMP is back, engineer should be nigh unstoppable at this rate

[Wizard]

TBH what most impresses me about this game is the atmosphere.

[TheDR]

Indeed, the sound guys should be given a medal!

Also it reminds me of BF2, open enviorements, teamwork, lack of camping (well the last bit isn't BF2 ).

What i'm really happy about is that its coming to PC with extra stuff, the way it should be

Do wish they'd hurry up and just release the damn thing, getting quite agitated waiting for it. I miss my Battlefield days tbh.

Tide yourself over with 1943

As a PC gamer (as and when it works) I don't have the luxury of 1943 as EA royally screwed us over on 1943. Here's to hoping that they make up for it with the PC exclusive content for BC2. Oh, and here's to hoping they don't follow MW2's tracks and screw us over on price either

PC release January 1st for BF 1943.

I doubt Dice will screw over the PC side as they have nearly the whole audience of BF2 and the annoyed COD PC gamers following there every move, i suspect they will actually be nice to there target market instead of being arseholes.

Indeed, alot of developers, DICE included have recently also spoken of the importance of dedicated servers. I think its pretty safe DICE won't screw you over, in fact EA has gotten much better of late. Sure they still release the Cash Cow franchise games, but they have also backed some less mass appeal games and taken some risks.

[Camille]

judging from what i've seen so far, i wouldn't exactly call it "taking risks". there are a LOT of recognisable elements to be found.

looking forward to it though.

I think Ion means EA in general with such products as Mirrors Edge and Dead Space. And making new franchises is always a risk.

[Camille]

that way i'll have to agree. they've indeed taken some risks.

i was, however, referring to the current BC2 footage.

PC beta news!

Quote

As promised here is the PC Blog on the Beta & a few other things, yes some people, places, and things may have leaked a little something, but we are here to clarify everything and make it all official since we can now commit to the listed dates! :-)

BETA Details:

Beta Begins/Ends
Jan 28th/Feb 25th

Map Name
Port Valdez

Players
32

Game Mode
Rush

Environment
Snow

Theme
Vehicle and Infantry

Back Story
The battle for Port Valdez is fought alongside the waterline towards a great oil industrial landscape in the Alaskan mountains. Using basically everything they've got the Russian forces are launching an airborne assault to knock out the oil industries in the area. In their arsenal there are Main Battle Tanks as well as fast-moving Quad Bikes and mobile armored AA. It's a vehicle focused battle, but with plenty of infantry combat.

How to Download: Check back to the Battlefield Bad Company 2 for a new Beta Page closer to beta launch date for download instructions.

How To Get Access: Reserve Battlefield Bad Company 2 is the most sure fire way, but we are still working with Retailers & e-Tailers that wish to participate (it's up to them). If you're eager to ensure you get in the two confirmed distributors to Pre-Order are the EA Store and at GameStop.com. We'll have another Blog at a later date with an update on the retailers & e-Tailers that have teamed up with us as well as alternate channels to obtain a Closed Beta Key.

Misc. Details

Steam Beta: Yes there was a leaked image of a Package file we propped on Steam. People with illegal accounts can see games in this environment, but this is not a Beta in the term of Public Test Beta, but a real development Beta installer client for the Steam version of the full game. We are however working with Steam to have the Public PC Beta available on Steam, but can't confirm this quite yet so cross your fingers Steam users. :-)

Anti Cheat: We're going with PunkBuster supporting the same options BF2 and BF2142 had to run unranked without PunkBuster.

Mod Tools: There will not be mod tools for BFBC2. However a majority of the the games logic is controlled by the server and there will be Serverside control options for the dedicated servers.

Public Server Files: We will not distribute these publicly. There are many factors for why we have decided this with the biggest factor being security & integrity of our game & Dedicated Servers.

What is this?
