DICE has confirmed that the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PC Beta will begin this evening at 5pm GMT.
The 1.5GB Beta client will be downloadable from partner sites as well as steam, and you’ll need a Beta key – available by pre-ordering the game at selected retailers – in order to take part.
DICE also wants fans to know why the Beta is taking place – this isn’t just a playable demo.
“The Beta is happening for many reasons, like testing the infrastructure, hosting stability, and gameplay tuning (FOV, Weapon Balance, etc…) that no amount of internal testing could provide better than real world exposure,” explained Gordon Van Dyke, associate producer on Bad Company 2. “This means there will also be times of choppiness, lag, disconnects, CTDs or other issues a Beta version of any MP game would have.”
He added: “This truly is a Beta, so remember that all feedback is appreciated and wanted! :-)”
You’ll find more on the Bad Company 2 Beta over on the game’s official blog.
