Gordon Van Dyke, associate producer for DICE’s Battlefield: Bad Company 2, has announced over on the US PS Blog that a multiplayer Beta for the game will land exclusively on PS3 November 19.
The Beta includes the Arica Harbour map where up to 24 players compete to secure crates in the Rush game mode.
Access to it differs from country to country, but here’s how you can get a key:
- DICE’s holding a special limited giveaway on the PlayStation Blog, details of which are TBA
- Preorder the game at a participating retailer
- IGN or GameSpot in North America.
There’s an announcement video below the break, and more information through here.

PC Beta in December! Demo early next year. Finally, I can play Battlefield properly, how I am used to (and not suck).

The trouble for me here, is that I don’t know if I want to preorder yet. I am switching consoles(mostly) from xbox to ps3/PC. I don’t have a ton of faith in PSN. I bought the system when it launched and frankley the online play was bad. Laggy, full of disconects, rampant teamkilling, and all around bad experiences. Now, I haven’t been on PSN in awhile(save for a few runs in Fat Princess). But that lagged too, and instead of having full 32player games they were mostly half of that or less. So, I loved BCone. I want BCtwo. But will it play smooth on PS3? Thats why I want the demo. I hate the idea of demos(so called beta) becoming tied into preorders. If I played the demo and liked it, I will preorder. 60bucks is a lot ot gamble with. So I guess I have to wait and pass up a chance to play in the “Beta”
