BFBC2 PC Beta Update från DICE!  LINK
BY: GordonVanDyke POSTED: Jan 07, 2010, 10:33AM COMMENTS: 331
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. Â 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. Â 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. Â 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. Â 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. Â There are many factors for why we have decided this with the biggest factor being security & integrity of our game & Dedicated Servers. |

Just tryed the beta, my comp seems ok to run it on medium settings is this jst because its a beta? didnt try High and not going to lol.
I think its ok but i dont like the way you cant lie down, I keep trying to press Z to prone 
Not as good though as everyone makes it out to be, if codmw2 had dedicated servers it would piss all over it. |

Preorder from play.com, you get the key emailed within 24hrs, then cancel the order.
I did this yesterday and received the key 1st thing this morning |
