Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog Fake BFBC2 Beta signup sites! As of today there is no official Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta and I wanted to warn people out there of fake/hoax sites perpetrating to have a sign-up for one. We do not have any form of beta sign-ups, nor would we ever endorse such a practice or shady url to do so. Please do not let these e-tards take advantage of your enthusiasm for BFBC2 in their scam and only give them the middle-finger if anything. So, unless you read it here or from our official Twitter page it isn't real. //GvD http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2213 More...

Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog RE: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Limited Edition Unveil The Limited Edition announcement raised some questions and created some discussion across the interwebs so here is a short FAQ to help answer questions we've seen by the community: Limited Edition FAQ Do I have to pay extra for the Limited Edition? No, it's the same price as the Standard Edition, just limited in quantity. Do I have to reserve / pre-order to get the Limited Edition? No, but that's the safest way to ensure you get one since there will be a limited supply. Can I get the unlocks featured in the Limited Edition if I miss out and can only get the Standard Edition? Yes, won't have the same day 1 advantage. You'll have to play through game and get the unlocks the standard way. Where can I get the Limited Edition? We intend to sell it at as many retailers as possible, but it depends on where you live and how much your retailer wants to stock up. Once they're sold out, only the Standard Edition will be available. Why don't I see the Limited Edition showing up at my favorite online retailer? It's up in some place like EA.com and will start to appear everywhere else. This is a busy time of the year and retailers are working hard to get this in place and it will be available both online and in-store. Is the Limited Edition available on all three platforms? Yes: PC, PS3 and X360. Will there be a Beta or Demo before the game comes out? Stay tuned to the blog or follow us on Twitter for future developments on all things Battlefield Bad Company 2. Also, we got a great letter from Eddie J. in New Jersey and the entire team loved it. We really appreciate it and a huge thank you from all of us on the BFBC2 team! //GvD http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2139 More...

Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Limited Edition Unviel The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Limited Edition delivers six special customizations early to give players a day one advantage in multiplayer matches. Four vehicle warfare unlocks will immediately enhance the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 best-in-class online vehicle warfare experience, delivering extra firepower, radar, and armor for the vehicles. Additionally, the tracer dart attaches to any enemy vehicle and allows RPG-toting teammates to track, lock on, and destroy their adversary. Seasoned veterans of Battlefield 1943™ will be able to immediately re-acquaint themselves with two classic and highly powerful weapons, the M1A1 submachine gun and the M1911 pistol. The full list of six unlocks are as follows: Four vehicle warfare unlocks · Improved Vehicle Armor – An up-armor package is mounted on all vehicle types, decreasing the effect of both explosive and penetrating warheads, significantly improving vehicle survivability. · Supreme Vehicle Firepower – Additional weapon packages are mounted for the driver of all armored vehicles, greatly expanding the range of targets the vehicle can successfully engage and destroy. · Vehicle Motion Sensor – Use this electronics warfare package to locate enemy units in direct proximity to the vehicle. · Tracer Dart Pistol – This magnetic dart attaches to any vehicle surface, allowing squad members to track, lock on, and fire rockets onto moving targets even beyond line of sight. Two classic Battlefield 1943™ weapons · M1A1 Submachine Gun – Reliable but heavy this classic weapon is a powerful force in the hands of any Battlefield veteran. · M1911 Pistol – Highly customized M1911 are favored for its dependability and the power of its large .45 caliber round.

Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog Dedicated to our PC Players! A lot ofbuzz has been floating around the internet lately about dedicated servers andwe wanted to make sure our all our players have the best understanding of howBattlefield will be played on the PC. Since Battlefield 1942 DICE hasused dedicated servers for all platforms. This formula has worked well,and still works well, for us and for the gaming community. We havestayed true to this practice and will continue this tradition into the upcomingtitle Battlefield Bad Company 2. Other gamesuse player-hosted or 'peer to peer' solutions, often resulting in a "host withthe most" situation; where the player hosting the match has an advantage overother players connected to their game. Everyone else is dependent on the host'sinternet connection and if they don't have a great connection neither will youregardless how great of an internet you have. Also, unless server migration is implemented the game ends when thathosting player quits the game forcing you to find another player-host or startyour own. With dedicated serverseveryone gets non-stop action with no connection penalties based on some otherplayer and their internet. This makes dedicated servers the best solutionfor online PC gaming hands down! So rest assured PC players, Battlefield willstay true to its roots offering dedicated servers to all its players andcontinue the tradition of the ultimate FPS gaming experience!
