    If you don't mind me asking, how did you get a second code from work?
    And if you give me the Beta Code, I'll play with you


    I fixed my email, but I can't find the beta code, was it with the EA account?
    If so, then I could still use that code


    B-B-B-B-B-B-BETA KEY!

    Did you just get your beta Key four hours ago? If so that really sucks, I was fortunate enough to get it about 12 hours ago.

    Pretty freaking sick, but it also has a lot of glitches. There are several places on the maps where you can go all the way under the map :( Gameplay is great though, and weapons seem pretty balanced. Kinda wish they would have chosen a lvl that had vehicles , but all in all I am very happy with it!

    Edit:

    Does anyone know why the M16 can only be used by the attackers? Not sure if this is a beta thing or not. If it is not, I really don't care for that much!

    Maybe its a faction thing, where only the Americans can use it.

    That's right. Just like in Bad Company 1, certain weapons are only available with individual factions. Americans for example get the M16, while the opposing faction will receive an equal but different weapon. This remains constant until the player has reached the highest stage with that particular class and from then on they are able to use any gun relating to that particular kit.

    Ya I figured it was a faction thing, but I honestly don't feel like the AK74M is equal to the M16A3. M16A3 has far better medium to long range, you might as well not even shoot at someone from that distance with the AK. Just my opinion though. As for the last part of your post. So what you are saying is eventually I can use the M16A3 on defending? I guess I have a bad memory, because I don't remember being able to do that in BC1

    Also, the attachments for the respective guns don not carry over across factions

    The guns in BC1 weren't exactly equal either. For example, the M24 could kill in one shot, but the other faction's "equivalent" could not. I don't know that they need to be the same. It gives you a chance to play a different style and keeps things interesting. Idk about you, but in BC2, I used the same guns for each class every time. Having to change every round can alter the attachments you choose to use and the way you play, even if ever so slightly.

    Can't wait to play the beta tomorrow!

    Honestly, in BC2 I used a wide range of weapons depending on the situation. Anyways, does anyone know where you can officially report bugs in the game? I have a very long list of things that need to be noted.

    Christ, will the open beta be available to the 360 and PS3 at midnight, Sep 29, or will I have to wait until mid-day sometime?

    I have to wait until the 30th for me because Australian time is way ahead of American. :(

    Between 8am and 4pm probably, the pre-beta came out while I was at school, so it depends on your timezone

    I had the Closed beta by 10am Central standard time. I would expect the open beta to start within a few hours of that time.

    It's already up. Squads don't seem to hold together when you join a game, and there are some bugs, but it's fun so far. Movement with the left stick is sensitive, though, so you better have a new controller.

    The SKS with 4x optics, a bipod and a silencer is the best gun I've seen yet, two shot kill, semi auto and accurate as hell.

    I ****ing love this! I was only able to play a few rounds before the servers crapped out, but the little bit I did play was awesome. Anybody want to squad up when the servers start working again?
