Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta on November 19th?
DICE has yet to tell us when we will officially be able to get our hands on the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta but GameStop has once again stepped in to fill the void.
While it has since been pulled Cinemablend reports that the GameStop listing for the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 limited edition stated that we would be seeing the official demo dropping on November 19th at 11PM PST. Of course, DICE then commented through the official Bad Company 2 Twitter that you need to hold off on pre-ordering for a beta code until they officially announce a release date.
DICE to stick with dedicated servers
Infinity Ward recently announced that they would be shipping Modern Warfare 2 for the PC with no support for dedicated servers which had most of the community freaking out. Today, DICE, the guys behind Battlefield: Bad Company 2, have said that despite Infinty Ward’s move, they will stay with dedicated servers.
DICE’s Gordon Van Dyke comments:
Since Battlefield 1942 DICE has used dedicated servers for all platforms. This formula has worked well, and still works well, for us and for the gaming community. We have stayed true to this practice and will continue this tradition into the upcoming title Battlefield Bad Company 2. With dedicated servers everyone gets non-stop action with no connection penalties based on some other player and their internet. This makes dedicated servers the best solution for online PC gaming hands down!”
Use Battlefield 1943 weapons in Bad Company 2
It seems that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will take a gameplay element from Battlefield 1943 namely, the weapons.
Yes, according to the official Battlefield 1943 twitter, you will in fact be able to use the weapons featured in said game in EA’s upcoming Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Below is said tweet:
Think you’re a Bad Ass with BF1943 weapons? What if I said you’ll be able to use your Semi-Auto Rifle, Sniper Rifle, or SMG in BFBC2!
I don’t know exactly who will opt for Battlefield 1943 weapons over Bad Company 2’s but at least it’s a cool feature to have, right?
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be out for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in Q1 of next year.

DICE to Take Aspects of Mirror’s Edge to Battlefield
DICE is known best for its Battlefield franchise which has been its bread-and-butter until Mirror’s Edge came along. Now, it appears that the studio will take some aspects of ME to the next Battlefield game. This will come in the form of the game’s sense of “physicality”.
Says DICE’s Owen O’Brien: “I’m not sure [about] wall-running, but certainly the others — certainly the sense of physicality in the world: the running, jumping, vaulting, [and] sliding…I think, yeah, we will definitely try to incorporate them into future Battlefield games.”
That’d be pretty cool. Awesome destruction combined with agile moves? Count me in for the next Battlefield!
