Do you need a CD key to play this Beta?

(Apologies if its already been answered)

Nah man, just browse all games on the game marketplace, go to the B section and it's under BF: Bad company 2. 1.69 gigs dl. Enjoy while it's there

After a few days of playing I should say its really, really good, even with a new control. But only one thing is killing me: showing the killer after the death. If you sniper, you need to move away, as you location is shown. That is not close to reallity at all. I wonder if they can change it in the release, relaying on comunnity feedback?

Slugs

Well it's not very revealing, after all you can only see the front of your killer, and a very limited view of his area, so unless it's somewhere blatant, like in the construction site, or on top of a house, you're going to have a hard time finding him. And even if you do know where he is, what're the odds, unless he's your nemesis or it's in your best interest, that you're going to get to him. The only people who suffer from the kill cam are snipers.

Great stuff

No more lags notices, game is stable is very dynamic. I love it.
Recently managed to get 21 000 points, that was amazing. Much more fun than BC1. I'm looking forward to getting the full game in March, pre-ordered limited for a price of a standard, its available for pre-orders only I think.

Getting into this game now At the start it was just mmmhhh but now i am starting to enjoy it. Played with Slugs and Korvancia at some stage and also played with MiJu. These people know how to play the game. Should be on at some stage tonight if i can drag myself away from chime or MW2 and i really need to Finish Assassains Creed 2 as well. Damn Work.:mad::mad::mad:

sounds like a good plan. Had a really great game with Cableguy in my squad with the two of us literally running riot and rolling over a full team on the other side in about 5 minutes LOL (gotta love squad spawns) :D:D:D

Is there voice chat on this demo btw? I rarely turn on my wireless headset to find this out.

Just to Remind people that this is a timed demo and finishes on the 25th of Feb.
I am starting to enjoy this spent most of the game yesterday just driving the ATV. Still can't get use to the chopper. And you Get 100 points if you kill the little chopper that you can control at the attackers base.

Denisoftus

at what time do you play guys?

miju

im on now at the moment if anyone fancies a game

miju

anyone still playing this demo ? wouldnt mind a few games with some boardsies. Haven't stopped playing the demo and have managed to on average get a 20-1 K/D ratio per game which has put me in the 10,000 on the leaderboards which I dont think is too shabby

Denisoftus

So guys, the demo is coming to its end, what score have you got by the end of it?

Haven't played it in about a week but don't want to play it again till its in my hand. PC specific stuff here, shows some new stuff

Not The Real Scarecrow

Know its abit off topic but saw a review for it on gamespot wher it got a 9.5 and was impressed by the trailer above. So was wondering is it any good?
Been playing cowmw2 since launch and same as every one else getting sick of it . Never played the first bad company so don't know what the game is like. From the trailer it looks like a cross between halo with the vehicals and mw2.Would I be right in thinking this?
Anything you guys could tell me about it would be appreciated as am considering getting rid of mw2 and getting this instead when its released.

Denisoftus

I played MW2 and wasn't impressed at all after playing BC2. It is completely different multiplayer, maps are much bigger, only destructable buildings on its own are worth while getting it.

I thing today is the last day of the demo, so you still have a chance to try it out.

RAIN

Its similar to Modern Warfare but with massive maps and classes(Medic Engineer etc etc) oh and deadly destructive enviorments:

If your still weary I recommend picking up bad company 1 for a tenner before hand. Still loads of people playing it and the maps are class esp the Golf club one

didnt get a chance to play it in the last few days but last I checked my score was in the top 6,000 on the leaderboards and my kill rate was in the top 4000.

Have REALLY learned to use the UAV to devastating effect these days. It's obviously great at clearing tanks and at destroying MCOM stations with Destruction 2.0. I've managed to get my head around aiming at same time as flying at speed , descending, ascending and banking so it doesnt get shot down. VERY , VERY frustrating when someone is using the UAV on your team though and doesnt realise it's a support vehicle FFS and just flies around firing hellfires at 1 person while someone on the opposite team is in a tank hammering your team.

Biggest K/D ration so far I got was 60 / 1 :D:D:D:D . Gotta say this game is ALOT better than the latest MW offering online anyways.

Denisoftus

Pretty good results, where did you see the leaderboard for demo?
I'm looking forward to getting my pre-ordered limited ed, there would be fun. can't wait.

in the main menu theres a leaderboards section or you can also find it in "my stats" as well I think.
