Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PC beta dated, detailed photo

Time to iron those wrinkled pieces of your rattled soul, Battlefield PC enthusiasts. In a stunning announcement this afternoon, EA DICE reversed its previous decision to hate the majority of its original fans -- a PC Battlefield: Bad Company 2 MP beta is indeed on its way, hitting this January 28th.

According to the game’s official blog, the beta will feature the Port Valdez map and the same very same “Rush” game mode that PS3 owners enjoyed exclusively first earlier this November.  Vehicles and infantry on the snowy Port Valdez have been confirmed.

The beta's life ends on February 25th.

Want to get in on this thing? Join the club. The game’s official beta Web page will update closer to the date of the beta and should give instructions on how to join.

Any mention of system requirements? I would think a game with the capabilities this one has shown will be pretty resource hungry.

Yes, the recommended requirements are the highest I've ever seen (though probably not the highest actually needed). They recommend a quad core CPU and a GTX 260. Minimum requirements have a dual core, but are pretty standard otherwise.

And I really wish that for once developers would cater to the schedules of college students. This comes out the day after I start school again.

The PS3 beta was pretty fun. Got my cousin addicted to the point where he came over daily, just to play.

Pretty fun though. Could give MW2 some competition, but can't beat it. Don't think anything can. Sadly.

@ gamadaya, Dayum, looks like the 360 version it is then. I could run it, but not at the level I'd like.

On Dedicated servers: Finally, speaking of dedicated servers, while the game will make use of them, the software will not be distributed: "We will not distribute these publicly. There are many factors for why we have decided this with the biggest factor being security & integrity of our game & Dedicated Servers."http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2010/01/07/bfbc2-pc-beta-update-fr-229-n-dice.aspx

also no mods: so fuck us: There will not be mod tools for BFBC2. However a majority of the the games logic is controlled by the server and there will be Serverside control options for the dedicated servers.
So let the shitstorm begin.

Only thing is don't just think FUCK activision EA FTW. Anyone with a good memory of bf1942 members why we hated EA to begin with. EA bought DICE then fired everyone, and put there own people in, but kept the name.

I didn't say it wouldn't beat it in terms of quality, but when there is a game that big, like MW2 is, it'll be hard to overcome that.

Battlefield does has a huge PC following. If any series can give CoD a run for it's money, it's this or Medal of Honor.

@ Corny As Hell

Thanks for posting that link to the confirmation that servers will be secure.

Nowadays I put a premium on cheat prevention over Mods, especially on the PS3 where I don't expect mods at all.

Loved L4D fan maps, but when the graphics are this high, I don't expect a fan map to have the massive detail that makes the game special enough to buy or support in the first place.

I don't think the website is set up for this yet. Nowhere on the site does it say anything about a PC beta. It's all about the old PS3 beta.

@ Devils Theory

I'm having the same problem, and I have another question: How can I set it so that I sign up for the PC beta in particular, not the PS3 beta?
