Battlefield: Bad Company 2: PC beta/360 MP demo out now!
Apparently the same guy also said there's a different FOV for 16:9 and 4:3...I'll let someone with the beta figure this out. Either way, not too terribly concerning to me.

Apparently an EA rep said the PS3 exclusive beta was done because BC1 had a 360 exclusive beta, and they wanted to give PS3 players something this time around.
It's been passed around a bunch so I don't know if there are any left or not, but it's worth a try. You do have do make an account and sign up for their dumb newsletter but that's a small price to pay.

Gah, I'm so close to buying this from Steam right now, but a few of those 'Can I Play This' tests tell me my graphics card (7900) and Processor (E5400 2.4Ghz Dual Core) aren't good enough. However, I have 8Gb of RAM to make up for it.
I mean, I'm playing Mass Effect 2 and Crysis Warhead right now with little to no problems, but I don't want to buy this if it won't run on my PC.
It will run on your PC. The worst part about your setup is your old graphics card, but this game is going to run on the XBox 360 which uses technology more than a generation older than what you have.
Now, you may not be able to run it at 1920x1200 with everything turned on high, but you'll get at LEAST the xbox360s level of graphics

Man, what's even the point of the PC beta then? Especially with it being limited to pre-orders.
Still waiting for a confirmation either way of the existence of a 4-pack
Extra incentive to pre-order, and allows them to catch bugs and balance issues in the wild and hopefully deal with them before or soon after the official release. Plus it creates additional hype.
Let me know how it plays, I'm probably going to be holding out for that 4-pack for the time being.
I meant, why even bother with the beta if the demo is out for everyone before it
It makes a bit more sense if you remember that the PC beta was supposed to go down a month ago. But you know, this is DICE, which has delayed 1943 PC for months, to say least of BF2 1.5.
Last I heard, they demos for 360 and PS3 were supposed release on Feb 4th, so I guess the Xbox version got bumped up (this might be just retailer speculating, though). It'll be hilarious if a PC multi demo gets released at that time. That'll make it the most pointless "open beta" ever, and I'll laugh.

I play Project Reality mod every once in a while. Vanilla? No way.
Yep. Vehicle crew here. Can't pilot for crap, but I'm a pretty good gunner in a helo, be it door gunner or whatnot.
I never really put FOV on my gripe list. Or really use it -- at all.

I think I'll wait for the demo. I rather stick with the console version if it doesn't look as good with my specs.
But the site's not up yet.

Bought'd and bought'd!
So long as the kinks are worked out, I have no problem with this.

If so, I'm retrieving the 360 from upstairs, right this fucking instant.
what, international taunting?
