EA are you trying to make Sony gamers fall in love with you again. Because if you are this is a very good start. But now you just ticked off a bunch of 360 gamers. Ahhhhhhh it's nice having both systems ;)

Everybody get ready to pre-order this at Gamestop you know they'll be one of the places giving out the beta, and possibly amazon. Hopefully Qore members will get in as well.

I've gotta say, Sony are killing it recently. Exclusive after exclusive after exclusive, and all of them AAA. Now they're getting 3rd party support as well, and from DICE which means BC2 is most likely using the PS3 as lead platform.

Hope I get in this beta, would like to see the improvements from the first one.

I know what you mean darx, sometimes you just can't help but prefer playing on a certain console.

For example, i own 68 PS3 games.I play all multiplats on it.
I have 1 360 game.And haven't touched it in over a year.

360 sucks and doesn't deserve (or have) any good games.
But hey, that's just my opinion.

1.14 - darx, you suck...
But that's just my opinion, and according to your own made-up rules about opinions... no one can reject it!

Therefore you have to accept that you just plain suck.

Remember, you're the only one living by those made-up rules. So whatever you say back to me, I can reject because I don't follow your rules.

Sucks, doesn't it?

Btw, hope I get in the beta. ^_^

Why do you people say that this is an exclusive because
they want to suport PS3 more etc?

Lets remember that BETAs are not demos.

For all we know they are releasing this to the PS3 only
because they may need so help to get it running on the PS3.

Don't just jump into conclusions like that.

I hope I do get it if I have to I will pre order it
earlier then I was planning to.

that's why they have a beta on the PS3 they don't need it as much on the 360. we will buy it anyway and it will work. FPS don't sell that well on PS3 because of the slightly different market. DICE want to rectify this and make sure they get it right, given they are a third party developer on the PS3.

so yes i am very jealous of this but i think i can wait for the full release. good things are worth the wait.

this game will be the best online FPS on either console without a doubt, how can it not be, BC1 and 1943 the current best online experiences. the only way the competition can match it is by replicating it.

2 - WOW!!! thats huge
I guess Sony's looking to profit big off Dice the same way MS is looking to profit huge off IW!!! i've only seen MS with exclsuives Beta's from 3rd arty devs who make muliplats... COD and LP comes to mind when i think about that. we've mostly seen betas for first party exclsuives on Sony's Console but this is a first, as MGS4 was an exclsuive to begin with.

Looks Like Sony's back to buisness, they are spending money again, exclsuive marketing with UBi, and with EA's Dice Last year for Mirror's Edge, Now it's probably a sure thing when they market Bad Company 2 for the PS3 exclsuively. It looks like thats gonna be the case. keep it up Sony you are doing it big.

Finally. Infinity Ward and Treyarch always made exclusive betas for 360 and PC but never released a beta for PS3. And now, probably the biggest online shooter of all time and the biggest block in front of the MW 2, is getting a beta only for PS3. Now that's what I call as sucker punch to the nuts...

The only CoD beta for the 360 was CoD5, So saying "Infinity Ward and Treyarch always made exclusive betas for 360 and PC but never released a beta for PS3" was probably because there was only one beta made by Treyarch, and we all know they are barely comparable to IW.

i respectfully disagree imo Treyarch is better right now Infinity Ward is not at all doing any thing for us,Treyarch gave us split screen co-op as well as online co-op i feel the game play on cod:waw is a bit better while it doesn't have the better story or have better graphics but at least i can play it with my friends when they come over clearly cod4 is a better game but if iw are the better developers how come they cant give us split screen or a real co-op game they had a chance to make mw2 a way better game and they blew it.don't get me wrong it will be a good game one of the best this year but Infinity Ward has dropped the ball big time with mw2 there lazy there not doing any thing new because they know its going to sell.Treyarch at least gives us more in there games and deserves at least some credit more then they get.one thing i would love to have in the call of duty games is to be able to pick what guns i want to use in the story mode like in the mp,one game that had that was rainbow six Vegas 2 i loved that.cod4 had no capture the flag and i found my self getting bored of only playing domination and some others I'm not in to TDM i play it rarely,kz2 was awesome for online modes a mix of every thing was great but this is just my opinion.
EDIT:
looks like mw2 will have some sort of capture the flag thank god http://www.youtube.com/watc...

And you know this because you've played the game right?! Oh no, wait, I know, it's because the first was so much better than Modern Warfare, right? On no, wait, is it because the beta is exclusive to the PS3 it's better than Modern Warfare 2? Really, just how did you come to this conclusion?! O_o

Perhaps because he played both COD4 & BF:BC and can easily see the improvements made to BF:BC2 while MW2 is bssically COD4 with new perks.

How come you're so upset over his post? Is it because the first was so much better than Modern Warfare, wait, is it because the beta is exclusive to the PS3? is is because it will better than Modern Warfare 2?

Lay off the damage control :)

The majority of those 360 exclusives dont compare to PS3 exclusives. Quantity over quality? Is that the 360 slogan? ugh.....

You know your desperate if your including Singstar, Naruto, and BUZZ plus Ninja Gaiden is on 360. I love how if a game is on 360 and PC, it isn't exclusive, but if it's on PS3/360 and one version is slightly better, It is an exclusive no questions asked.

PS Their are 86 360 exclusives in NA (Not including PC/360 games)
- Their are 51 PS3 exclusives in NA
- Their are 38 360/PC exclusives. Meaning if you don't have a capable PC, it's 124 X360 games v. 51 PS3 games.

Look up your facts. To prove my point, if you send me a PM asking for the complete list, I'll give it to you.

Anyway, can't wait for BC2, the first one had a boring campaign but an amazing MP.

Battlefield has always been better to me. Wont stop my 1000's hrs form MW2 but to me BF is a much for solid piece of gaming . I have played them all so maybe i have bias but not really bias more like preference.
