Battlefield Bad Company Xbox 360 Beta
Although this is not Battlefield 3, Bad Company has the technology in common with BF3. The Frostbite engine can already show what it has under it's hood, and that in a DX9 environment.

Here the official announcement:

Attention All Battlefield Soldiers!

We are recruiting for an exclusive Battlefield: Bad Company� beta.

The beta will be available on Xbox 360� and downloaded through Xbox Live� Marketplace.

The beta will give you a first look at two multiplayer maps, Ascension and Oasis.

We have a limited amount of beta codes available so enlist now, by sending an email to battlefieldbeta@ea.com

Xbox Live� Gold Account required to play the beta.



So if you got an Xbox 360 and can't wait to play the next Battlefield, this might be a good snack for the wait till then.

...I might consider getting a 360 for this and for GTA4 but if there is gonna be a GTA release for the PC then fuhgeddaboudit PC for ftw!

http://www.battlefield.com/1943/

Criterion Games working on a Need For Speed game wasn't the only surprising bit of news that Electronic Arts chief operating office John Pleasants tucked into his presentation at the William Blair Growth Stock Conference I listened to today. Pleasants confirmed he's seen DICE's work on Battlefield 3.

"I've had the luxury of looking at Battlefield 3 over at DICE in Sweden and was highly impressed by the way the team is working on that product," he said. "Of course, that's not [coming out] in the fiscal year, but that is a product that is looking very good."

Gamers worried that Battlefield: Bad Company, Battlefield Heroes and Battlefield 1943 were a three-pronged answer to fans demanding a third Battlefield don't have to worry. Battlefield 3 is coming!

Wondering if you guys have been keeping up with BFBC2??? This ones looking sweet!!! For us PC gamers this is the BF3 we've been waiting for!!!
Bookmark this link and check it every so often for new info, take a look at all the vid's so far, awesome, can't wait!!!

I know! I saw this on digg the other day. It does look good. I like the idea of team-squad based fighting. Sounds like fun. I hope they still keep Conquest mode in. Oh and I hope they leave the Stats API open.

so is 1943 ever coming out for the PC?

1943 should be out January for PC I think but BFBC2 is gonna be much better and the beta for that will be out in Jan also so pre-order!!!
Conquest is still a game mode, can't get rid of that, that's the most popular, squad mode does look cool though

The joke here is you wont be able to tell the difference between the beta and the final version.

In all serious I would be preordering more games if the beta were offered for free up till the release of the game. Right now I have no faith in EA to release a finished product. I'm still not happy with how BF2 is.
