Battlefield Bad Company Multiplayer Beta

EA today announnced the multiplayer beta test for Battlefield: Bad Company on the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, most of us gamers will be locked out of it because IGN Founders’ Club and IGN Insider subscribers will only be able to get into the beta which starts March 25 in North America and UK. It will, quite interestingly, also be distributed by other websites in the IGN network, including Gamespy, TeamXbox and Voodoo Extreme.

“We’re really excited about this beta since it gives us a chance to let a wider audience play our new multiplayer game, ‘Gold Rush’. The feedback coming back from something like this is crucial for us as developers and will help us with the final changes and polish in the game,” stated Karl-Magnus Troedsson, Senior Producer for Battlefield: Bad Company. “Battlefield and FPS fans get their first glimpse into how tactical destruction can be applied in multiplayer gameplay. We think offering two of the multiplayer maps will give gamers a fantastic experience and some great insight into the game.”

The shooter is set for release this June on PS3 and Xbox 360.
