Gatorman Steve Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just an FYI as I didn't see it here anywhere. The signup for the beta starting next Tuesday (3/25/08) is going on now. All I had to do was sign up w/Ign and they sent me a beta key right away! I'm downloading the beta right now and it comes in at 1.07 gigs. Here's the link to the signup at fileplanet.com: http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/bfbc/na/ The beta will have 2 full maps in it and looks to be alot of fun The beta is for the Xbox 360 only.

fighting fish Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Cool, just signed up and got the key. Thanks for the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman Steve Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 No prob I was searching other forums and people were asking if they had to preorder the game somewhere, trying to buy the keys on ebay, etc. Like you mentioned, I signed up and filled out that form and they sent me the key right away and I started downloading the beta. I was kinda stunned to get the key that quick seeing as how so many people were trying to obtain one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yeah, mine came across instantly, too. Guess I should start downloading myself as well, as I'm not expecting to get online playing for a while (dang writing!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman Steve Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yeah, get that thing downloaded and ready for Tuesday. I'm playing Frontlines til' then but imagine Battlefield will replace that quickly from what I'm hearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman Steve Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Looks like we'll have to set up an "LCVG Battlefield Night" Hopefully we'll be able to invite other beta users from our friends list into games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covak Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Dang, it seems to think my work is somewhere besides Canada, the U.S., or Europe. I'll try when I get home but if it's limited I won't hold my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Actually, if I give someone my FilePlanet login info can they do it for me? If anyone wouldn't mind I'll PM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Dang, it seems to think my work is somewhere besides Canada, the U.S., or Europe. I'll try when I get home but if it's limited I won't hold my breath. I got the same thing. The sign-up page must not be firewall friendly.

Covak Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks to fighting fish, I'm in At last year's GDC I attended a session all about the new engine used in this game and I've been anxious to see it in action ever since. And if the game is fun that'll be a nice bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighting fish Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just a head's up, tried to get a code for Whooter, and ended up getting You have passed screening, but only subscriber keys are left. Select a package to the right to continue the beta signup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Looks like I just made it in. I was firewalled at work but...... iPhone FTW!!! :rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Well, fuck. I logged in using my mobile broadband card to get around the dumbass firewall problem, and now they say I'm not a subscriber even though they just charged my card for the monthly payment (that I've been making for YEARS) last week. Fuckers. :td Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 If anyone didn't get into the closed beta via IGN, GameStop is offering a promotion of their own, giving a beta key to the first 5,000 people who preorder the game. You also get free overnight shipping. http://www.gamestop.com/gs/swoffers/default.asp Edit to add: On another note... Is EA doing a "pay per gun" marketplace microtransaction!?!? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=259593 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman Steve Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I just preordered it and they're supposed to send me the key within 48 hours. As I'm already in the beta, the first person to request it will receive the beta key from me (as long as they actually send it to me of course).

Is EA doing a "pay per gun" marketplace microtransaction!?!? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=259593 That is what it sounds like but what I am willing to bet is they are doing the same thing they have been doing with TW and NFS where you can take the time to unlock stuff in game or you can save yourself the trouble and simply buy it on the marketplace.

JoeyN Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I just preordered it Same here, as GS online had free over night shipping. Phil didn't get a code, so he will be able to get in now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce B Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I also preordered from Gamestop. Was I suppose to get the code with the order confirm or will they send that separately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
