Bad Company 2 PC Beta Update + 3D Support? - briefly
(hx) 09:34 PM CET - Jan,08 2010 - Post a comment / read (6)

The Battlefield blog now offers a large amount of information on the Bad Company 2 PC beta many people are eager to get a hold of. The BC2 PC beta will start on January 28th and end on February 25. There's also a blurry picture of someone playing BC2 on PC what appears to be someone playing the game in 3D. (thanks PlanetBattlefield). BETA Details:
Beta Begins/Ends Jan 28th/Feb 25th
Map Name Port Valdez
Players 32
Game Mode Rush
Environment Snow
Theme Vehicle and Infantry

Back Story
The battle for Port Valdez is fought alongside the waterline towards a great oil industrial landscape in the Alaskan mountains. Using basically everything they've got the Russian forces are launching an airborne assault to knock out the oil industries in the area. In their arsenal there are Main Battle Tanks as well as fast-moving Quad Bikes and mobile armored AA. It's a vehicle focused battle, but with plenty of infantry combat.
How to Download: Check back to the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta Page closer to beta launch date for download instructions.
How To Get Access: Reserve Battlefield Bad Company 2 is the most sure fire way and right now we are still finalizing which Retailers & e-Tailers will participate (it's up to them). If you're eager to ensure you get in confirmed distributors to Pre-Order consumers are the EA Store and at GameStop.com. We'll have another Blog to update new retailers & e-Tailers that have teamed up with us as well as alternate channels to obtain a Closed Beta Key.

Misc. Details
Steam Beta: Yes there was a leaked image of a Package file we propped on Steam. People with illegal accounts can see games in this environment, but this is not a Beta in the term of Public Test Beta, but a real development Beta installer client for the Steam version of the full game. We are however working with Steam to have the Public PC Beta available on Steam, but can't confirm this quite yet so cross your fingers Steam users. :-)

Anti Cheat: We're going with PunkBuster supporting the same options BF2 and BF2142 had to run unranked without PunkBuster.
Mod Tools: There will not be mod tools for BFBC2. However a majority of the the games logic is controlled by the server and there will be Serverside control options for the dedicated servers.
Public Server Files: We will not distribute these publicly. There are many factors for why we have decided this with the biggest factor being security & integrity of our game & Dedicated Servers.

Welcome to the new era of the nerd. Welcome to 3D !

If they ever bring out a decent 1920x1200 screen that does 120hz and near zero delay in input/output lag for CRT like responsiveness, I still wouldn't waste my time with the 3d shit.. I'd go for 120fps smoothness not 60fps x2 for 3d rubbish.

I play online fps games to pwn, not ogle the fake 3d gfx with crappy nerd glasses on.. its a gimmick being peddled by the industry looking for new market revenues.

as for bad company2.. This "Public Server Files: We will not distribute these publicly. There are many factors for why we have decided this with the biggest factor being security & integrity of our game & Dedicated Servers."

=fuck off EA

I guess they thought they could market this off of Insanity Wards stupidity with MW2, but BFBC2 to me does not look like a decent PC game, just slightly more polished console port.

I never really notice anything over 30 fps anyways, I'm down for this.

kittomer	(12:31 PM CET - Jan,10 2010 )
Personally I love this 3D shit, makes the the whole experience a lot deeper. Oh, and by the way, just a little reality check, you might want to ask the 80,000,000 people who watched Avatar if it's more nerdy to wear 3D glasses to watch a 3D movie/game or talking about kills and pwning and OMG FPS and LAAAAAAG. Hahaha. Right. Self-delusion makes happy, I suppose!

Ozieo	(11:19 PM CET - Jan,10 2010 )
kittomer, did you see the Avatar movie ? It may be have been such a wonderful experience that you still think the Avatars are all around you, but don't be scared, allthough you make look like one, you're really not an avatar, so no problem.

Game looks good, don't care about the rest of the BS.
