Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta launches tomorrow!

225 0

So what can we expect from the PS3-exclusive Battlefield Bad Company 2 beta, exactly? DICE Producer Gordon van Dyke joined me via PlayStation Eye chat to talk about the Arica Harbor map, the destruction you can cause due to the game’s Frostbite engine, and how you can win your way into the beta. Oh and there are lots of explosions. Pretty, pretty explosions.

To elaborate on a few things – you can follow the Official Battlefield Bad Company 2 Twitter here, and one of those sites giving out beta codes is… this one.

We’ll be giving out beta vouchers starting Thursday afternoon (PST) via our Twitter and Facebook accounts. So start following!

  • My guess is that US beta wont start till PSN weekly update? which is in the afternoon. Can someone from Sony confirm this?

  • i have the same problem, the beta code is not working…i have read in some forums that its a problem whit the ps3 update, if it is that i hope that it can be fixed soon

  • Oh cool… thanks for the update !

  • The beta forums say that it starts at 11am pacific

  • 12:50pmET Still nothing.

  • i never thought id be this crazy for a beta ive tried probably 548 times since midnight i think the fact that im not sure my fileplanet beta key will work is whats driving the madness haha and teh fact NO ONE WILL GET BACK TO US cough gordon cough

  • It’s weird that there are no updates here, but I guess they’re busy. Their Twitter page says that Europe have been able to download the Beta since yesterday and that they’ve been playing for about 3 hours since they patched the VoIP. They’re waiting for Sony to “prop” the Beta for the U.S. and “please don’t spam your Redeem code or they might block you.” They also said they’ll be giving away more beta codes “through the entire Beta phase.”

    That’s it so far.

  • Yeah same here i got my key from ign as well, I hope it does work.

  • How come the servers aren’t up yet in the US

  • i think their is either a problem or it wont be up till the psn store updates.

  • its going up with the update

    “Happy BATTLEFIELD: Bad Company 2 PlayStation®3 Closed BETA Day! Access Your Unique #BFBC2 Codes via PSN Today at 11PM PST.”

  • hi,

  • 2:26 est time and still getting a message that says code may have expired.

  • IGN.com was giving some away but not sure if they ended the promotion or not.

  • im still reading in other forums about the beta for bc2, and now there is a rumor about the fileplanet give away beta keys, and that rumor is, that they give the same beta code that all of us have recived to diferent people around the US…and that`s why the code still dosn´t work………aaaahhhh pliiissss gordon tell us something about all of this

  • Hey guys! is anyone else having any problems with there code? I got mine and tried to enter it but it says that its invalid. Is it not time to download it yet? Can someone please help?

  • read post above or follow them on twitter.

    EU is up and playing, but sony is still setting up the US beta for download.

    the code will say invalid until its ready.
    don’t spam the code into ps3 or sony might block you.

  • 3:03PM Est. still nothin

  • Is Sony doing anything to ensure timed-exclusive DLC for BF:BC2?

    I dont want to spend $60 on this game for PS3 and then find out we get DLC months after the 360 version.

    Sony needs to step their game up and stop getting owned by MS when it comes to these big FPS games.

  • EVERYONE CHILL ok dont enter your code to many times it will go invalid and if then your screwed check the twitter they posted as soon as the europe beta went up they will do the same for us @officialbfbc2 just chill the codes from fileplanet work

  • (T_T) We just got yelled at!! Haha! Im just soo excited about this beta!

  • Why I can not fix it Sony. I waited the U.S. store will have as the first BETA and the EU store will be in second place. At least tell us something if the damage whether what we go once nothing interested us but still no info about it. All day search the Internet for Forum Information what is happening. Problem is still the same in the U.S. store can not download BBC2 BETA keys are broken. Let’s have something stym Do you want to play Bad Company Beta 2. Sony already DICE beseech you to download a BETA game via the U.S. store. Thank you

  • their waiting on a patch for voice over like they did for eu then servers will be online

  • Super game to be able to download but now is not the servers DICE stym certainly fun or do not know when to put patches on the EU version and it was so why should wait for the U.S. version of the repairs. At least that I gave the beta download finally. Thank DICE and SONY.

  • I already entered my code on the playstation network. Can anyone give me instructions on how to dowload the game to my ps3?

  • the message about the VoIP update was about an hour ago, but the EU took a total of 4 hours from announcing the patch to playing.

    hopefully sony will be faster this time 8|

  • they have to, bcoz now the patched its already created so they just have to distribute it to the US PSN.

  • its up posted on twitter few mins ago patch is out

  • FEEDBACK looks like im first in line for feedback
    ok:i would like the in between game screen (after a match while waiting to start another) to be more interactive. why? well my friend invited me to his squad right before a great game was about to end but i wanted to win the match so i stayed, after teh match i had to wait for the next match to load THEN leave that match and join his squad, it would just be nice to be able to leave or invite between games. A- so far

  • Feedback: I was having a great time with my specializations when suddenly, everytime i get points in a match, they are negative. Please fix this. I miss my specializations. :(

  • feedback woot post 200. anyhow game looks great
    just the problem with ranks and unlocks keep reseting needs fixed.
