Battlefield 2: Bad Company and Battlefield 1943 announced

Is the demo/ beta for the 360 open or is it closed to people who pre-ordered the game? Even though I pre-ordered it, a few friends haven't so just wondering if this could be answered?

Well when they interviewed DICE/EA they said it was a demo, so I would assume that it is just like any other demo on XBox/PSN, because the PS3 beta, used those words exactly and yes it was closed and not available for everybody. Also since they've mentioned that they are going after MW2 with this title, I couldn't see it being a closed demo because you would want as people as possible to see your title.


And to co-sign w/DTX3, I played the beta and never touched MW2 and loved it, I was hurt when I signed in and it said the beta was over. Even though it was one map and one mode, I still loved the feel. It had a MW2 variety of guns/attachments, without the outrageousness of some of the perks (Commando comes to mind...).

This kind of crap is so lame. It's a good thing I'm not all that excited for Squad Rush.


Battlefield Bad Company Squad Rush Gamemode Details

Quote:

How To Access "Squad Rush" at Launch North America: All customers that pre-order from GameStop (local retail store or website) on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will have an Exclusive Access* for 30 days to play the "Squad Rush" gamemode and any friends they bring with them. This means you can always play with your friends if you have the Exclusive Access* never forcing you to split from them, plus those that have this Exclusive Access* are a bit more popular... even if only for 30 days. ;-) *This game mode would be automatically unlocked for everyone after 30 days. Rest of The World: No Exclusive Access, as this mode would be unlocked day 1 at no extra cost and you can also invite any of your American buddies to play as well.

WTF??? That is some bull ****. Is this what pre-ordering has become? If you don't pre-order you can't play game modes? Hopefully that mode is unlocked later on just through progression.
