So the Goodjer hive mind consensus is PC on this one? It's been a loooong time since I've gotten my BF swerve on.

It will probably be an even split. The PC only crowd is usually just more vocal on the forums.

That's what the console crowd keeps telling themselves, anyway.

The battlefield crowd is absolutely bigger on the PC on these boards. By a fairly significant number if past games are any indication.

I didn't like the beta on the PS3. The control felt unresponsive, which made the view feel claustrophobic. I'm hoping the mouse control will alleviate that.

I though the view in BC1 was also quite claustrophobic on 360. I don't know if it was the FOV, the vignetting, or a combination of the two. I eventually got used to it and don't notice it anymore, but it was really disconcerting for the first few hours.

That said, I'm 360 on this. Where's that spreadsheet?

True Battlefield games were never released on console. Bad Company was never released on PC. If we were talking about Battlefield 3 (Which I will by on the PC) I would agree with you, but we are talking about Bad Company 2.

I love my collection of BF series on the PC, but I don't kid myself by using the goodjer message board as a popularity telltale. Just look at MW2 where post count could leave some to believe that it was an even split.

PC purchase for me. I'll be providing air support for Podsix/Swampair.

We could probably use a return of that spreadsheet we were using a few months back to track where Goodjers were planning on playing their games.

Edit: Here it is, I see people are still using it. Haven't looked at it for a while since its thread got buried several months ago.

nice updated with my name, I also added my name into the suckers column of MW2.

<-- hangs head in shame

Add my name to the PC list please!

I don't know if/when I'll get it; if I do, it'll be for the PC.

Although I can see the logic in offering beta keys with pre-orders so that more people give you money, is anyone aware if this is the only way to get playing?

Done

Added my info.

I am in. PC version.

Looking at the spreadsheet, I see we have just enough people on the PC side to do a goodjer only tdm of 4v4v4v4. This makes me smile.

As much as enjoyed playing Battlefield on the PC with the crew, my PC gaming days are done. I'll be on the 360.

Just bought the PC version from Steam.

Count me in. Just preordered.

PC pre-ordered! Can't wait!

Well, this came out of left field for me:

Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Demo is up on XBOX live. I started the download this morning. It may not be listed yet under "New Arrivals", as I had to browse the list of games manually to find it.

For those that pre-ordered, but don't have a beta code: http://twitter.com/Demize99/status/8...

Alright, if you preordered from somewhere and you don't have a code, tweet picture proof and I'll hook the first 4 people up.

Cool, I just added it to the queue. Is it the same demo as the PS3 one?

Question for those of us that preordered via Steam. If/When you get your code to unlock the beta, would someone be kind enough to detail how they received it and perhaps how the rest of us can get in on the party?

Muchas Gracias,

When the game is available to download (shortly, hopefully) your code will be listed with the game. I believe you just right click on the game and either go to properties or maybe even a "Show Key" option. You have to have preordered though.

Woo Hoo on the 360 demo...see you folks online tonight!

Wow, so they're going to help the first four people who didn't get what they were supposed to? Awesome?

Any sense of when it the d/l will be available from Steam?

Not at 12EST. Looks like EA is getting slammed so hard I can't even get to their message boards or the Beta site.

EDIT: Steam beta is online. Slow as hell, though.

Yeah I love this beta, not only am I trapped at work, but I have school till 7 then a interior designer is coming over for god knows how many hours to insure my wife spends lots of money! So I will more then likely be on tomorrow..

Fortunately I was blessed with snow today, and when life hands you an excuse to take a day off, you don't ignore it.

Beta is downloading from Steam for me (1:00 PM EST).
