Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Distinct muttering]

Anyone know if the old account recovery trick from the COD4 beta works for this?

[Simmy]

So is the multiplayer basically like a sequel to BF2? Does it have the full complement of choppers, planes etc?

From what i've read, yes

Actually that's not a bad shout at all could probably work !!

The vehicles are present & correct and awesome. The wee jeep with grenade launcher is excellent - park it up at the top of a hill and pop away.

I get a code and it doesn't freaking work. Nyargh!

Someone get to it then!

[Smitty]

Is the damage good OTT or bad OTT (ala Stranglehold)?

Just saw your post on the EA forums, I've got the same problem, however if you sign in to a US profile, the code works, I'm just not sure if I want to risk trying it and then finding I can't access it from my main, UK account :/

[Yoshimax]

Good OTT I'd say - it's not like everything in the game just falls to a few shots or a grenade. Ripping through a fence with a machine-gun is cool though !

You will all feel my WRATH if the damage is bad OTT.

[BoggyB]

Oh, funky. Do you still get a months free gold live when you create a new American profile?

[hoot]

Not sure, I'm sure when I've downloaded demos before on a US profile they show up and work when you switch back to your main gamertag, I'd just prefer someone else to try it first

[Duckula]

I can't seem to find any games, it just hangs on the 'searching for games' screen for ages.

Downloading it on a yanky account now. I'll let you know.

[hoot]

You're a gent If it works from the UK profile that's fine, but if it means signing in to the US one I'll wait till they get it sorted.

That's the server hammering in action - stick with it and try for unranked they seem to be more successful. Once you're in it seems OK now no more booting.

By the way you don't need a beta key to play it, you can just burn the file to a dvd and play it off that.

[Eighthours]

Sodding hell, my key (obtained on Day 1) doesn't work.

EDIT:

however if you sign in to a US profile, the code works,

Hmmmm.

Really? Is the DVD image out there then?

Surely that doesn't work.

[Pob]

How is it once you are in a game? Lag fest or COD4-smooth?

[Smitty]

Lag fest or COD4-smooth?

Oh mamma, COD4 sure is smoooooth.

[hoot]

EDIT:

Hmmmm.

It's a known problem, EA are looking in to it.

[Eighthours]

Yeah, just went onto the EA forums. Cheers, buddie.

360 version?

[evilwallpaper]

is there no way to go prone ?

[Duckula]

360 version?

Aye.

[Simmy]

Aye.

How do you burn it to dvd?

This doesn't make sense

[Teeohbee.]

Hmmmm interesting...

Apparently it works.

Off to DL now.

[Philly]

i've just found a torrent (via google) of the beta. Supposedly you can just download, burn and play.

I'm at the downloading part...

Yeah, what roboplegic said.

[Meh]

Won't all you downloading-disc people make it even harder for people with keys to get into a game?
