Downloading the beta on steam at the moment. Was released about 12:30pm EST. I'm excited! Will post some screens and or vids.

The Steam servers are currently too busy to handle my request.

And every single site related to BFBC2 in any way are pretty much down too. Why after years and years of this kind of thing on popular launches, do they not add extra infrastructure in to prevent against this? It's almost guaranteed to happen.

Anyway, excited to give it a play later tonight hopefully.

I've had the game downloaded and installed for about 20 minutes now. I start it up. Fix all my controls and video settings. Go to play. It's asking for serial...

Argh! Steam hasn't sent me my serial yet! The cruelty! :twisted:

Ehm not sure about your copy, but i can view my CD-key by right clicking the beta, and selecting 'view CD-key'.

I'm still installing so not sure if that is the right cd-key. Are they supposed to send it to you?

CD keys were sent via steam, but had not been sent at the time I was posting. I've since gotten it via steam and registered.

Game is running smoothly so far on my rig. Screenshot!

I've played it for a bit, but it's unplayable. Too much lag.

Yea, I was in as soon as I got the key and was playing for a few hours without issues. I guess everyone has the beta now and connecting and playing is a nightmare. Not sure if that's the cause or not.

Well keep in mind that it is a beta, and still has over a month to go...

Right? It's out in March?

PS - anyone know where to get keys without a pre-order?

Also keep in mind: If they are indeed shipping March, they would HAVE to have gone gold by now. This is what we're getting on release date, anything else will come in a patch.

It's not a beta, it's a paid demo.

They only use the phrase beta to get people excited and so the dips on the forums can say "stp compaing bro, its a BETA"

Not sure what was fixed, but I've been playing most of the night and haven't had any issues. Personally enjoying the game so far. Peeved that crouching is not a toggle and you have to hold it down to stay crouched.
