Saw it this morning on the bookface machine. I'm at work, so I couldn't verify through Marketplace on my own. Also can't link because of the fun filter, but check for yourselves. The PS3 beta has been a great success. I'm DLing it this evening. Sorry, MW2.

Let us know how it plays. Really hoping it's as good as the videos i've been watching.

PS3 has had the beta for a while now. You don't have it?

I hear you. Yeah, the demo is usually free and is just a download. But, I think PS3 guys needed a beta key to access it. I don't know if it's still restricted like that now on PS3 since it's for everybody on XBL.

i'll take a look around tonight and see what i can find.

The thing that i like the most is the environment changes. Buildings falling, ground shifting...that type of stuff

I got to play a little bit of the demo yesterday, and the one thing I was interested in was how many rounds did it take to kill an enemy. In the first Bad Company, it took an entire clip to get a kill. That's fix this time. Very nice. The rest is as per the usual: vehicles and heavy artillery and destructible environments are just plain fun.

Shiggity, it wasn't laggy for me at all. I got into the first game I tried and had a good connection.

I played last night and was all outta whack thanks to duty. Movement and game play speed was a huge difference. Sniping is awesome, bullets drop so you have to use a little judgement. First time ever playing BF and got the hang of it fairly easy. I love the huge map and shite just being destroyed. Can't wait to play again.

Played it tonight for the 360. I don't know why they didn't keep the same control scheme. I thought BFBC1's was just fine.

I don't like the map as much as BFBC1. The assault rifle moves a lot more when you're firing, so you have to stick to short bursts. Lots of potential hiding places with all of the snow-covered trees.

I'll probably keep playing BFBC1 until this goes platinum.

Just got done playing. It is so realistic its not even funny. Sniper play is amazing. You actually have take in consideration of gravity and speed of the person. Graphics aren't amazing ( they are pretty damn good) but the game play makes up for it. first time I spawned in a game I found a nice spot and got a 10 kill streak with the sniper rifle.
