Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - Beta

[dandancc]

Hi!

I wanted to enjoy some beta action, but got internet just after the end of MAG beta. I heard great things about B:BC2, so it was the first thing I looked for when I joined PSN. The problem is, it isn't under Demos, there is just the first one there (which seemed really unappealing from the demo).

Is the beta still running? How do I find it on PSN? Impressions?

I believe you were supposed to sign up for a beta code just like MAG. With MAG you can download the MAG beta right now in the demo part of the store, but previously you had to sign up to get a code or wait for someone to send you one. I believe it is the same case for the Bad Company 2 beta.

As it is supposedly an open beta, just like the current MAG beta, I though codes weren't necessary... Oh bummer. Thanks anyway xD!

Has anyone here played it?
It looks really interesting, especially the "realistic" sniper rifles.

From the trailers I've seen the game does look impressive.. The charactes movement and surrounding effects are really realistic.

But something bothered me while I saw one trailer and maybe the people who have played the demo could help me confirme.. While using a sniper riffle, does the screen still blackout while the player is in motion to look down the sight?


UPDATE: 27 Jan 2010
I stumbled upon these two videos on this Spanish gamesite.. One is the latest trailer and the other is gameplay footage so enjoy and be warned.

To answer your question, no it doesn't black out anymore.

So, I just played the demo and it is incredibly fun. Battles are grand and guns feel powerful and balanced. Jumping into a vehicle and mowing down the opposition with a friend is a blast. Sniping, especially, is its very own thrill what with the bullet drop and the need for patience and tracking ability.

It still has that strange, floaty movement from BF:BC 1 that feels like running through 3-feet of mud, but beside that I can't find too much wrong with it.
