You can get a PS3 Beta code here by just entering your email. Worked for me.

I'll probably only use my American PS3 account for this, though.

i watched some trailers for this last night... i'm totally skeptical, but this looks like the next bf2.  gameplay is very similar, the shooting at hit box marker look sort of CODish.  idk we'll see

Maps are too small to be the next BF2.

i just hope we are seeing a slice of a bigger package.  remember the demo for bf2 was oman... not small but not the biggest map they made either.

Wasn't the biggest Zatar Wetlands? I would have loved to do a coordinated 64 player match on there.

either zatar or fushee... i've been lucky enough to find full servers with those maps.  they are awsm and i don't know why more people dont play them.  zatar is especially good, migs vs f35s, and one heli to fight over.

Some new footage of the PS3 Beta from G4.tv, it's a pretty in depth talk through from a DICE developer, worth a watch:

I'm so glad to see a decent amount of recoil, in that video, and that's the PS3 version.

Bad Company 2 to Support DirectX 11
It looks like DICE has been working with ATI and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will officially support DirectX 11.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

AMD just sent over a list of DirectX 11 game titles and when their expected release dates are going to be. It looks like DirectX 11 is finally starting to pick up some speed, which is great news for ATI Radeon HD 5000 video card series owners as you have a card supporting DX11. A new name has appeared on the DX11 game list and that would be Battlefield: Bad Company 2! This is a big title game, so that should help boost sales for AMD. DiRT 2 is coming out on December 1st, so it looks like DirectX 11 is about to get a shot in the arm with these major game titles. NVIDIA's GT300 'Fermi' graphics solution for DirectX 11 is missing in action and is rumored to not be coming out in volume until April 2010. If that is the case AMD has a six month head start on DX11!

DICE Rendering Architect, Johan Andersson also confirmed this on twitter.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yes AMD are correct, we are working together on DX11 benefits for BFBC2 in Frostbite 1. Frostbite 2 is our future DX11+ engine

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ATI had this to say:

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DirectX 11 is a key feature of Windows 7 and is important for two key reasons: it helps consumers experience better performing games and faster computing. To do this, DirectX 11 brings several new features which collectively improve the graphic fidelity of games and 3D applications while also enhancing the ability of the CPU and GPU to work together more efficiently. This in turn will allow end-users to potentially realize significant increases in performance as application developers harness the power of tessellation, multi-threading and compute shader technology, three key new features of DirectX 11.

PC version will have 32 people, console will only have 24. So they are big like BF2 but not as big as in BF2.
