If you couldn't dodge the missile then you deserved to get blown up.

I could, just that it was fucking annoying hearing constant beeping every time I was in a tank. I think it's better having UAV the laser designator.

I don't think there will be a laser designator, don't remember seeing anything like that in the beta. The snipers instead get the mortar GPS thing. The UAV's have a laser designator though, but they're easy to shoot down, and have a long respawn time, and the missiles aren't really frequent for them. So they're not as annoying as BC1 where every sniper had one

If by top you mean have better sales and more pre-orders, then no. But for me it almost already has topped MW2, if they were able to make a solid PC version and not just a port from the consoles.

I played the beta too, and I don't think so either. And I agree the UAV is better.

Twitter User:  Will there be enough PC Beta keys? Demize99:  Oh yes, there will be lots

=====
XBox & PS3 BFBC2 Demo available Jan 28th (or Feb 4th if you don't pre-order):

Seems like there is a news ticker item running in the console versions of Battlefield Bad Company 1, and Battlefield 1943 games:

Preorder Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 and receive exclusive 1 week Demo access starting on the 28th January.
Get ready for the most spectacular FPS multiplayer experience ever! Battlefield Bad Company 2 brings the spectacular Battlefield gameplay to the forefront of next-gen consoles and PC!
Source:  forums.electronicarts.co.uk

Also, a similar message is showing up at the Game web site (UK Version of GameStop?):

Preorder Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 and receive exclusive 1 week Demo access starting on the 28th January.
Get ready for the most spectacular FPS multiplayer experience ever! Battlefield Bad Company 2 brings the spectacular Battlefield gameplay to the forefront of next-gen consoles and PC!

Demo Access will be for one week from January 28th 2010
A big "yeah, right" to their statement of exclusivity...

I was thinking about the Xbox & PS3 Demo and the PC Beta possibly starting on the same day, and thinking this would be quite a stress test for DICE/EA.  They have to provide all the servers for the consoles, which should basically be an unlimited number of clients (downloads).  At the same time, a supposedly large number of PC beta keys will be handed out, and DICE will want to control all of the servers for it.

Then I started thinking about them supporting ranking for all of those people, and it occurred to me that unlike the PS3 beta, the demo will probably not support ranking up.  This should relieve them of some of the "stress".  All of the XBox and PS3 players I expect will be stuck with the stock weapons, until the game is released.

Hopefully the PC Beta will be ranked, as the PS3 beta was.

I preordered from the EA store a while ago, I had a coupon. It was before the LE was announced though, so I don't know if it is or isn't the LE.

I think it should be, I belive they are just going to see the LE first and then when it runs out the ''normal'' ones.
