For those of you that have been living under a tank over the past few days, EA have begun Beta sign-ups for their upcoming shooter – Battlefield: Bad Company, for the Xbox 360. Sites IGN and Gamespy have launched their BETA Event pages where Jonny public and Insider/Founder’s Club members can go through the screening requirements (basically checking whether you have a Live Gold account), and then follow through to obtaining a beta key.
Sadly, if you are not an IGN/Gamespy subscribed member you will have already missed out on the public keys, so you will have to subscribe to their services if you wish to obtain a beta key.
Luckily our community member, and recent Monster of the Month winner – Glitch100 has obtained a beta key and has made a little video of the game’s intro and menu screens, which is as far as we can get until the beta servers open up on the 25th March. So for all of you out there unable to join the beta, here is a little taste of what you will be missing out on.
Stay tuned to Console Monster where we will be bringing you additional footage on the beta once the servers open early next week.
