Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PS3 Beta Begins 19 November 2009 Starting 19 November 2009, PS3 gamers will be able to experience the unprecedented action, destruction, vehicular warfare, squad play and open sandbox environments that only Battlefield can deliver. The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer beta will feature the Arica Harbour map, where up to 24 players can compete in one of the game’s four intense multiplayer modes called Rush. This new map displays a superb balance of vehicle and infantry combat, as the American assault unit attacks the Russian army base with full force, advancing further through a beautiful desert town and towards the industrial area in a desperate attempt to overtake the Arica Harbour. Heavy vehicle warfare on the first bases gradually turns into an intense infantry fight as the level progresses, showcasing this best-in-class online war experience. Gamers can get a taste of this incredibly intense action by a numbers of ways including reserving the game with participating retailers. While supplies last. How do I get a Beta Key?

Just in from Planet Battlefield - RSS News Feed BF Blog: The Unlimited Advantage Bad Company 2 gameplay designer, Alan 'Demize99' Kertz posted up a new article on the Battlefield blog talking about specializations... More...

Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog The Unlimited Advantage + New Fan Kit Each of the Bonuses we've carefully selected represents one of the cornerstones of the Battlefield experience: Teamplay, Vehicles, and Veterans. We handpicked Specializations that enhance the abilities of Veterans and Newcomers alike. Let's explore the gameplay possibilities in the Limited Edition of Battlefield Bad Company 2. The Vehicle Motion Sensor reveals the position of nearby enemies, allowing you to avoid driving into hidden ambushes. Rolling into a base in a vehicle equipped with the sensor will also report enemy positions on the minimap for nearby teammates! The Improved Vehicle Armor specialization upgrades the protective plating on all vehicles to give your vehicle that extra edge in heavy firefights. Additionally while many vehicle specializations only function for the driver of a vehicle, the Improved Vehicle Armor and Vehicle Motion Sensor specializations will function if they are equipped by any member of the vehicle crew. So even if you don't enjoy flying or driving, hopping into your friend's vehicle will still grant both you and your friend extra protection. Of course you also get to man the secondary guns to dish out your own firepower. The Supreme Vehicle Firepower specialization greatly expands the types of targets tanks and helicopters can engage effectively. In Main Battle Tanks like the M1A2 and the T90 the Firepower specialization upgrades the vehicle with a coaxial machine gun to improve the MBT's anti-infantry abilities. The driver's position of the Mobile AA vehicle is also upgraded with a hull mounted machine gun to supplement the default 20mm automatic grenade launcher. For Light Tanks like the M3A3 or the BMD3 Supreme Vehicle Firepower allows the driver to fire TOW Guided Antiarmor missiles. Often the deciding factor in armor battles TOWs are also great for punching a hole in buildings before pumping 30mm chain gun rounds inside. Air vehicles are not left out of the mix, the Vehicle Firepower Package upgrades the gunner's position of the AH64 and the Mi28 with the same TOW Guided AntiArmor missile. Combined with the pilot's rockets this package can quickly eliminate enemy armor that threatens your teammates. Featured both in the original Battlefield 1942 and it's spiritual successor Battlefield 1943 the M1911 Pistol and the M1A1 Submachine Gun are true Battlefield classics. Though not as powerful as the Engineer's modern SMGs and Carbines the M1A1 SMG is unlockable for all 4 classes on the Battlefield. The mobility granted by the M1A1 allows close range run and gun tactics, especially effective for members of a hard-hitting and fast-moving squad. Battlefield Veterans will also appreciate the stopping power of the .45 caliber M1911 Pistol. An American classic, the M1911 is still favored by special forces units around the world almost 100 years after it's inception. Another sidearm the Tracer Dart Pistol can be equipped as a pistol, allowing all classes to aid their Engineers in destroying enemy vehicles. When a Tracer Dart is placed on an enemy vehicle friendly RPGs can lock on and track those targets, letting your teammates engage armor safely from cover. It’s a great aid to your team even for classes like Assault or Medic who lack antivehicle arms. We think this combination of Weapons and Specializations will provide all types of Battlefield fans with a worthy Day One Advantage. Whether you're a Tanker or a Pilot, a Teamplayer or a Lone Wolf, Assault, Recon, Engineer or Medic these tools will serve you well on the Battlefield of Bad Company 2. //Alan http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2261 More...
