Battlefield: Bad Company

[Mattc0m]

Torn and I currently have Battlefield: Bad Company (beta) for the Xbox 360. Anyone else grab it?

Here's my impressions:

Here's some extended details:
- Gold Rush (the only mode in the Beta) is like Counter-Strike's Defuse gametype. You must plant bombs & destroy crates of gold (lame, I know). That being said, it has the same ticket system, and when you destroy both crates you get more reinforcements, the frontline is moved up, and you go to destroy the next pair of crates. There's 4-5 of these transitions per map.

- There is 2 unlocks per class you have to spend actual money to buy.

- There is 3 unlocks per class you can unlock simply by getting promotions.

- The ranking, unlocks, and awards system is very familiar, but it's a bit more fleshed out and cooler to get awards now.

Beta info:
If you're interested, simply send an e-mail to BattlefieldBeta@ea.com
I think your e-mail has to be tied to your Xbox.com Gamertag, I'm unsure though. I also do not know if it is still open.

Bleh, there is no friend / buddy / party support, so you can't join off of a friend's game or anything. LAME!

don't think your e-mail addresses have to be similar. I just put in the body Sign me up now and and in the subject beta.

There's a $10 gift card if you pre-order through Amazon by 11:59 PM June 22.

I played the PS3 demo with Seba and it was not terrible. It might be worth a purchase at $50.
