Maddens Raiders5272d ago

Zedux5272d ago

I just registered I'm crazy to play his beta but

-When the codes arrive to the website, click on the store link on the upper side of the website

I cant see that link :(

Raf1k15272d ago (Edited 5272d ago )

I think he means the '4players store' button on the menu at the top

edit: it says 'On 19 November starts the beta phase of Battlefield: Bad Company on PlayStation 2 3 Exclusive to 4Players-Store, we will offer whopping 10,000 keys. For more information soon.'
I'm guessing they don't have the keys just yet.

MerkinMax5272d ago

Can I even register? And If I can can someone help me with that site?

deadreckoning6665272d ago

I'd rather wait for gamestop ta call me in when they get the codes.

sikbeta5272d ago

Really NICE... I hope all the luckily guys enjoy it

GAMERS FTW!!!

Cwalat5272d ago

Raf1k1@

Excactly, that's what i meant. Top side of the website there is a "store" button.

about the step 4, yeah i also know that it won't work now since they don't have the codes yet. When they do get them, that's how you should do inorder to get one. Click on the Store button, search for the code on the store click on it and order it (free of charge) and you'll get it on your email.

Celeras5272d ago

No keys until the 19th is my interpretation of the translation.. yes/no?

Parapraxis5272d ago

"On 19 November starts the beta phase of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on PlayStation3 Exclusive to 4Players-Store, we will offer whopping 10,000 keys. More information coming soon"
Well, I'm all signed up.
Got the site bookmarked and will check it.
I'll post info if there are any updates in the comments section on THIS story.

DaTruth5272d ago

Couldn't be bothered. That was the most retarded translation I have ever seen! I would have had more luck with the original language! That was like Hieroglyphics translation or some crazy $hit!

evrfighter5272d ago

i got a beta key over @ fileplanet. Not even sure if I even wanna try it. What if I'm disappointed by console limitations :(.

Noctis Aftermath5272d ago

The beta codes at fileplanet are for US only... sigh

Dark_Vendetta5272d ago

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but after ordering (only possible from 11pm to 6am German time due to the law -.-) you'll have to write in your personal ID to get the code (they have to make sure you're really 18). So in order to get it, you should have a ID generator at 11pm, or you won't get it. The giveaway will most likely start today, so be ready in about 8 and half hours.

jjohan355272d ago

that I got from fileplanet. I'm willing to trade it for a MAG beta code. PM me.

I can't do step 4 on your list since the bad company 2 beta section on the page doesn't have a link to anything.
Maybe I'm missing something.

coolasj5272d ago

20 Amazing Games That Have Completely Disappeared From Storefronts

Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga55d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics55d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend55d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long55d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons55d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor55d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5255d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60255d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv7255d ago

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor55d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

EA’s best multiplayer games have now shut down for good

Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.

OtterX130d ago

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled129d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa129d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno129d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac129d ago (Edited 129d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast128d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial128d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv72393d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel393d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon393d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim393d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai393d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341393d ago (Edited 393d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai393d ago (Edited 393d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341393d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313393d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald393d ago (Edited 393d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra392d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai392d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra392d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade392d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra392d ago (Edited 392d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno393d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz149393d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop393d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb392d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole393d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled393d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
