DLC includes community mods, dedicated server support, and £15 extra in my pocket? That’s it, I’m won over, and getting an Xbox 🙂
To be fair to your original point though, the sooner there’s a universal system out there which everyone wants to use for gaming, the better.
I’d still want to sit at my TV though so onlive wouldnt really change much for me, excpet an inferior ctrl to the 360s, oh and allowing me to play against PC peeps, which I’d avoid as kb/m would own 🙂
DLC doesnt include community mods unfortunately, it does community games, where you can make you’re own and distribute and the £15 you saved, isnt really saved if you look at the cost of you’re PC etc, I saved around £900 when I bought the Xbox 😉
New multiplayer modes..

And its about F’in time EA/Dice
DICE is adding a hardcore mode to increase the realism. Here there will be no kill cam after deaths, no HUD to speak of, and the amount of damage you can take will be decreased dramatically. Good luck to those who want to play in this mode.
This will sort the big boys out from the Xfactor contestants for sure!
Bring it

I dont think you have quite grasped what onlive does…. you don’t need to use any particular controller. You don’t need to buy their box… you could play it on any PC you own… but all the processing is done remotely so the specs of your machine are superfluous.
You could also easily play it through your HD TV – just have it hooked up to a basic PC / media centre.
It’s frickin amazing basically… only concern for me is it looks too good to be true…. you know the rest.
I do understand chief, hence why I mentioned using a mouse and keyboard from the sofa.. It would be shit
I did think you required there box at first though, I rememeber it from when it was announced, but didnt pay too much attention, as you say, too good to be true 🙂
BOT, new delightful video

As much as I’d love to laugh at EA on this one, they aren’t really charging for the beta, it’s just thrown in as a bonus for pre ordering.

Info posted a couple of days ago re the PC beta:
As promised here is the PC Blog on the Beta & a few other things, yes some people, places, and things may have leaked a little something, but we are here to clarify everything and make it all official since we can now commit to the listed dates! 🙂
BETA Details:
Beta Begins/Ends
Jan 28th/Feb 25thMap Name
Port ValdezPlayers
32Game Mode
RushEnvironment
SnowTheme
Vehicle and InfantryBack Story
The battle for Port Valdez is fought alongside the waterline towards a great oil industrial landscape in the Alaskan mountains. Using basically everything they’ve got the Russian forces are launching an airborne assault to knock out the oil industries in the area. In their arsenal there are Main Battle Tanks as well as fast-moving Quad Bikes and mobile armored AA. It’s a vehicle focused battle, but with plenty of infantry combat.How to Download: Check back to the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta Page closer to beta launch date for download instructions.
How To Get Access: Reserve Battlefield Bad Company 2 is the most sure fire way, but we are still working with Retailers & e-Tailers that wish to participate (it’s up to them). If you’re eager to ensure you get in the two confirmed distributors to Pre-Order are the EA Store and at GameStop.com. We’ll have another Blog at a later date with an update on the retailers & e-Tailers that have teamed up with us as well as alternate channels to obtain a Closed Beta Key.
Misc. Details
Steam Beta: Yes there was a leaked image of a Package file we propped on Steam. People with illegal accounts can see games in this environment, but this is not a Beta in the term of Public Test Beta, but a real development Beta installer client for the Steam version of the full game. We are however working with Steam to have the Public PC Beta available on Steam, but can’t confirm this quite yet so cross your fingers Steam users. 🙂
Anti Cheat: We’re going with PunkBuster supporting the same options BF2 and BF2142 had to run unranked without PunkBuster.
Mod Tools: There will not be mod tools for BFBC2. However a majority of the the games logic is controlled by the server and there will be Serverside control options for the dedicated servers.
Public Server Files: We will not distribute these publicly. There are many factors for why we have decided this with the biggest factor being security & integrity of our game & Dedicated Servers.
p.s. is this not your job WET? 😉
I preordered it couple of weeks ago, yeah I’m a sucker but cannot wait for this, I loved the first one!
