Hi All,
I’m Gordon Van Dyke and I’m the Associate Producer for 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 in March 2010.
Starting on November 19, 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 here.
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 (details TBA)
- Pre-ordering the game at participating retailer
- 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 Battlefield: Bad Company 2 new trailer.
is the game running on a ps3 console on that preview video ??? if it is WOW , it does look very very good
Cant wait for this glad it comes out one i will get tired of MW2
I so hope i can get it, and i am more and more feeling i wont get mw2.
I’ve got this ordered at the official EA Store website. It’d sure be nice if EA took care of those that order directly from them with a beta code.
This giveaway better be open to residents of Canada…
Awesome, the first game rocks!!! :D
