Bad Company 2 PC beta in December and multiplayer demo in early 2010. Scheduled for release for the 2nd march US and 5th march Euro
From The Battlefield Blog
EA/DICE posted this regarding the Upcoming addition to its popular Battlefield franchise.
Quote:
"Coming December, we will invite players to participate in a PC open beta. Then, early next year, all players worldwide will get to experience this premier shooter when we releases a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer DEMO on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available on March 2, 2010 in North America and March 5, 2010 in Europe for the Xbox 360, PS3 and the PC."

Please note: As of today there is no official Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta and EA/DICE wants to warn people out there of fake/hoax sites perpetrating to have a sign-up for one. So, unless you read it here or from the official battlefield Twitter page it isn't real.
Hopefully some members of TG can get in on the beta of Bad Company 2. EA/DICE has been making some great moves to remove the fears of the PC community generated by the recent MW2 server announcment and subsequent boycott. The Multiplayer demo will be the final piece as to the game acceptance here at TG as it will hopefully confirm the numbers of players in multiplayer modes. The TG Battlefield community has expressed a concern over some reports of low player counts although nothing from DICE has explicitly confirmed or denied any such reports. Personally, I believe it will be higher from news I've gleaned from EA/DICE blog posts and comments. Only time will tell.
Over all, this comes as great news for battlefield fans at TG. At long last, we will be getting our hands on a long awaited addition to the battlefield franchise.

Connecting with your European peers just got easier.
A couple kind folks from across the pond have created a Steam group to help enable European users connection with each other, helping to create a solid TG atmosphere in their alternating time zones.
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tg-euros
The group is invite only. To join, you can simply add your Steam name to this thread and someone should get to you shortly. Alternatively, you can contact Superfast, who will help you into the group.
Thanks for making a mature, teamwork-oriented game that much closer for the rest of the community.

A reminder - If anyone else wants to get a little extra attention for their Steam group or any group in general, you should submit details or an article at the Submit Content link at the bottom of the forums.

Modern Warfare 2 - The Boycott and You |

Modern Warfare 2 - The Boycott and You
What? There is a boycott going on? Yes that is correct, another boycott is afoot; this one with more substance and more PC gamer outrage than the last one that the PC gaming crowd saw. Before diving into the specifics and how this affects TG as a community, let me first share a little story.
On Sunday the 25th, I trudged in to my local Gamestop. Instead of doing the usual poking through the boxes of old used games and peeking at the store's dwindling number of PC games and marched straight up to the counter.
"I want to cancel my Modern Warfare 2 PC game." I placed the pre-order receipt on the counter and waited for the money back.
"You know," he said, poking at his display, "I've had more PC copies canceled then the copies I pre-ordered today. Even those have all been for 360s and PS3s.
The guy clearly knew what all the hubbub was about; I'm sure he heard the PC cancel rant a quite a few times today, I wasn't about to tell him again. I left the store, a few bucks richer, but still upset at this turn of events.
Bad News First
Not to be confused with earlier anger about price, those boycotting MW2 cite the absence of dedicated servers. These servers run 24/7, the location can be chosen and in turn the ping from certain areas, and have various other advantages. In MW2, this system will be replaced with IWnet, a match making service. All games will be hosted on the IWnet servers. For those who game on consoles, the idea of a finely tuned match making service is a dream come true. But those on the PC see it as a large departure from a system that works. With match making, the gamer is unable to choose their server and ping as well as choosing to play on a server with the kind of tactical game play that TG offers.
Infinity Ward and Activision seem to be bring the "console" way of play to the PC. TG is a PC driven community. TG members play on PC for a variety of reasons, may it be the ability to customize hardware, controller preference, or... [Read More]
