PC version will have a max player count of 32, as opposed to 24 on the consoles. Also in the PC version you can go prone, something you can't do in the console version. Also I'm going to guess that the PC one will have more realistic recoil and that kind of shit.

Bad Company 2 Limited Edition FAQ
Bad Company 2 producer, Gordon Van Dyke posted up a short FAQ on the BFBC2 Limited Edition announced yesterday.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Limited Edition announcement raised some questions and created some discussion across the interwebs so here is a short FAQ to help answer questions we've seen by the community:

Limited Edition FAQ

Do I have to pay extra for the Limited Edition? No, it's the same price as the Standard Edition, just limited in quantity.

Do I have to reserve / pre-order to get the Limited Edition? No, but that's the safest way to ensure you get one since there will be a limited supply.

Can I get the unlocks featured in the Limited Edition if I miss out and can only get the Standard Edition? Yes, won't have the same day 1 advantage. You'll have to play through game and get the unlocks the standard way.

Where can I get the Limited Edition? We intend to sell it at as many retailers as possible, but it depends on where you live and how much your retailer wants to stock up. Once they're sold out, only the Standard Edition will be available.

Why don't I see the Limited Edition showing up at my favorite online retailer? It's up in some place like EA.com and will start to appear everywhere else. This is a busy time of the year and retailers are working hard to get this in place and it will be available both online and in-store.

Is the Limited Edition available on all three platforms? Yes: PC, PS3 and X360.

Will there be a Beta or Demo before the game comes out? Stay tuned to the blog or follow us on Twitter for future developments on all things Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Also, we got a great letter from Eddie J. in New Jersey and the entire team loved it. We really appreciate it and a huge thank you from all of us on the BFBC2 team!

It is also stupid to use shock pads while standing up as well in my experience. As it didn't always revive the guy and you are an easy target to shoot at.

BF Blog: Fake BFBC2 Beta signup sites
The Battlefield Blog has a warning about fake Bad Company 2 beta sign up pages. Remember not to ever put your information into these sites as they are fake.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As of today there is no official Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta and I wanted to warn people out there of fake/hoax sites perpetrating to have a sign-up for one. We do not have any form of beta sign-ups, nor would we ever endorse such a practice or shady url to do so. Please do not let these e-tards take advantage of your enthusiasm for BFBC2 in their scam and only give them the middle-finger if anything. So, unless you read it here or from our official Twitter page it isn't real.

BF Blog: The Unlimited Advantage
Bad Company 2 gameplay designer, Alan 'Demize99' Kertz posted up a new article on the Battlefield blog talking about specializations available in the game.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Each of the Bonuses we've carefully selected represents one of the cornerstones of the Battlefield experience: Teamplay, Vehicles, and Veterans. We handpicked Specializations that enhance the abilities of Veterans and Newcomers alike. Let's explore the gameplay possibilities in the Limited Edition of Battlefield Bad Company 2.

The Vehicle Motion Sensor reveals the position of nearby enemies, allowing you to avoid driving into hidden ambushes. Rolling into a base in a vehicle equipped with the sensor will also report enemy positions on the minimap for nearby teammates! The Improved Vehicle Armor specialization upgrades the protective plating on all vehicles to give your vehicle that extra edge in heavy firefights. Additionally while many vehicle specializations only function for the driver of a vehicle, the Improved Vehicle Armor and Vehicle Motion Sensor specializations will function if they are equipped by any member of the vehicle crew. So even if you don't enjoy flying or driving, hopping into your friend's vehicle will still grant both you and your friend extra protection. Of course you also get to man the secondary guns to dish out your own firepower. Read the rest...

Bad Company 2 UAV Discovered & More Off Screen Footage
A fan from the this past week's EuroGamer Expo noticed a small RC helicopter while playing Bad Company 2, which is actually a UAV scout (although not final). A couple pictures of it can be seen below.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The person who posted the pictures, PSNowTV had this to say.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

At the wrecked ship there was a small helicopter with a control mechanism next to it. I tried to control it but nothing was prompting me to use it. On a second ocasion, I went there and the helicopter was no longer there, but this time I did get a prompt to use the controller.

I pressed B but all I could see was the video feed which I asume was coming from the helicopter. It looked like some kind of MQ-8 Fire Scout or similar.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DICE producer, Gordon Van Dyke and gameplay designer Alan 'Demize99' Kertz have also responded in the EA UK Forums.

Gordon Van Dyke

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The UAV Scout is not final yet so hold back to judge and I'm not happy with certain persons (not in the community) that shouldn't have let this leak. I don't blame the leaker as I can understand their desire to show off, I might have too.

P.S. UAV Scout is very fun and Demize99 put it in so you know it's balanced and still cool!

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Demize99

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If this only worked on paper we would have cut it. We'll do a feature on the UAV at some point in the future, I assure you it is balanced and awesome. Both flying it and having it fly around.

Bad Company 2 Beta Coming this Month?
Earlier today, GameStop had a page up explaining that if you preorder Battlefield: Bad Company 2 you would get beta access, which would start November 17th. The page was quickly taken down and the BFBC2 twitter had this to say:

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Do not pre-order #BFBC2 from anyone for a Beta code until it's confirmed by DICE on Twitter and the Blog. Even if it's #GameStop!!!!

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

An EA spokesperson told Blend Games more details about the beta will be coming this week.

Update: Gamestop responded to three users on twitter stating that the BFBC2 beta is only for Playstation 3. This is NOT confirmed with EA or DICE. Take it with a grain of salt.

MRX93

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

@GameStopCorp why is the Bad Company 2 deal only for PS3 owners?

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

GameStopCorp

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

@MRX93 The beta is only available on PS3

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Most likely we will hear something this coming Friday, since there appears to a media embargo expiring then.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Alright, well, it remains to be seen whether November 19th is the launch date for Battlefield: Bad Company 2's beta as Gamestop claimed. However, the whole situation should be cleared up by Friday.

"As for the beta, we'll have more details later this week," an EA spokesperson told Blend Games. Hopefully "more details" means they'll reveal the platforms and/or launch date for the beta. If nothing else, they'll probably tell you how to earn a spot in it.

GameStop has since taken down the discount that mentioned the BFBC2 beta. Maybe they put it up early by accident? Regardless, the listing, as well as EA's statement, indicates that the game will be getting a beta after all. That's more than they were willing to admit last week.

STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ:ERTS), today announced the upcoming Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2 multiplayer beta exclusively on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. Starting November 19, PlayStation 3 gamers will be able to experience the unprecedented action, destruction, vehicular warfare, squad play and open sandbox environments that only Battlefield can deliver. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 provides a true all-out war experience like no other modern warfare game. For beta key distribution details go to www.battlefield.com.

“This is an outstanding opportunity for PlayStation gamers to get early access to one of the most action-packed and polished shooters in the marketplace with Battlefield: Bad Company 2,” says Rob Dyer, SVP, Publisher Relations, SCEA. “We’re happy to help DICE achieve their superior level of multiplayer excellence in the game.”

“With Battlefield: Bad Company 2 we’re looking to raise the bar across all aspects of our multiplayer experience, setting a new standard for online play,” says Patrick Bach, Senior Producer on Battlefield: Bad Company 2. “From the graphics to the vehicles, weapons and destruction, we are delivering the best online multiplayer game next year, and we want gamers to experience it themselves by playing the beta and demo.”

The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer beta will feature the Arica Harbor map, where up to 24 players can compete in one of the game’s four intense multiplayer modes called Rush. This new map displays a superb balance of vehicle and infantry combat, as the American assault unit attacks the Russian army base with full force, advancing further through a beautiful desert town and towards the industrial area in a desperate attempt to overtake the Arica Harbor. Heavy vehicle warfare on the first bases gradually turns into an intense infantry fight as the level progresses, showcasing this best-in-class online war experience.

In December 2009, DICE 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 DICE releases a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer DEMO on the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be in stores on March 2, 2010 in North America and March 5, 2010 in Europe for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the PC. The Limited Edition is available now for pre-order at participating retailers worldwide (while supplies last).
