Several Battlefield Bad Company multiplayer Beta testers for receiving 'invalid beta key' error messages when attempting to redeem their code on Xbox Live.
An EA forum moderator says:
"We understand that quite a few of you are getting an Invalid Code error when you try to enter your beta code on Marketplace. This is being investigated and I will update this post as soon as I have more information."
Lest hope its not Halo 3 beta all over again!!!
With the franchise’s mainline entries failing to find their footing in recent years, now is the perfect time for a Battlefield: Bad Company remake.
Of course there is no counter argument. This is what fans of the franchise have wanted for years. This and/or BF Bad Company 2.
When asked why there hasn't been another Bad Company:
“There's one thing that lingers with Bad Company that we've been asking ourselves: What is it that the people really liked about Bad Company?" DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson told Eurogamer.
Troedsson says that he and his team can’t put their fingers on what it is that people loved about that branch of the brand. “It's hard for people to articulate what that is, which is actually hard for us,” he says. “It would be hard to remake something like that. Can we do it? Of course. We have our theories when it comes to the multiplayer."

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."
This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.
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.
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
With this multiplayer experiment going every way but right, it's time for Battlefield to return to what made it so great - a fun single player mode coupled with classic multiplayer.
BF is dead especially after this abysmal release.. what have EA done to this beloved franchise.. it’s really upsetting they are so far disconnected from what the actual fans want from this series.. such a same
If they would of made BC3 and stuck to the same formula as BC2 but gave it the next gen treatment it would of been a massive hit
Thing is i dont think they're capable of capturing what made those fun/different anymore.
EA knows players want BC3 the same way Activision knows players want MW2 back. They will not make it because the goal is to make games built around MTX and Battle Royale.
I'm going to try out a key tonight when I get home from work. I'll be bitter if it doesn't work.
the beta starts today and there is a message up saying that the servers are up but having problems....
So there are actually no games going on yet. Which is really surprising since it's a beta, lets just hope these server problems don't actually happen when the game gets released.
But considering they are having problem with the beta servers, might just mean the exact same thing will happen when the game in released because they are the same servers.
XBOT: "You are jealous you are not getting the Beta"
Well, you are off to a bad start.
I said it once and I will say it again: "Test the game right cause PS3 gamers don't want to play a broken game".
Good luck =D
Mine went through so far, it's downloading right now. Now to see if it'll let me play. ..
Forgetting about Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 are we?
I had no problem in the beta today...infact I love this game :)
