Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Xbox 360 Demo and PC Beta  by Craig D at 14:24

PCXBox
An Xbox 360 demo of DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is apparently now available for download and features the Port Valdez as does the PC beta which starts later today. ON that note you might want to check out Fileplay who may have up to 10,000 beta keys available shortly.

"After the success of the PS3 beta, we’re excited to provide gamers -- especially our long-supporting, rabidly passionate PC fans -- with another opportunity to get into the game before release," says Patrick Bach, Senior Producer on Battlefield: Bad Company 2. "Our fans have been a huge part of the franchise’s success and we can’t wait for everyone to experience the amazing gameplay and unforgettable Battlefield moments in Battlefield: Bad Company 2."

The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 console demo and PC beta will feature Port Valdez, a new vehicle focused map where up to 24 players (32 on PC) will compete against each other as either the US or Russian armies in the game’s Rush multiplayer mode. Players will have access to five land and three air vehicles where the Russian side can use everything in their arsenal including Main Battle Tanks as well as the fast-moving Quad Bikes and Mobile Armored AA. The fight will also be packed with plenty of infantry combat fought alongside the waterline towards a great oil industrial landscape in the Alaskan mountains.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is due in Europe on March 4th, the console demo ends on February 25th.

I can't help feeling the multiplayer is geared towards esports and detracts from the true battlefield type of experience.

Rush mode is a bit like CoD I think, I'm not a fan. I'm not keen on it at all tbh, it just 'feels' wrong

I'll not be cancelling my pre-order as the single player will probably be quite good, the first one was ok.

Can't see me playing the MP much though, will stick to 2142 for now.

Im suprised by how much I like it tbh. Thought it would be a load of gash from the videos but I think its still got some of the bf2 feel about it, just alot more action-packed. Im a big fan of the rush game mode too, plus the graphics are amazing.

Plus you cant beat blowing the roof off a building that Grants sniping from with a missile so he's totaly exposed (new remote control UAV's ftw)

If you can find KillerCreation.co.uk #12 on the server browser most of us will be on there, decent server with no lag at all.

Does anyone else get a odd bug where you hold a key down for a long time and then your guy just keeps walking in that direction?

Im liking it so far, except the mad lag (may be that's virgins fault?) my gamertag is Re0sless is anyone wants to add me
