I know it's mentioned briefly before but is this Frostbite 2.0 engine PC exclusive? (i.e. the consoles will still be using version 1?)

Well it has dx11 support so in that sense its exclusive.

Does steam still give beta access? I their flash scrolly thing it says beta access, but when I click into it, it doesn't say anything about beta. Anyone confirm?

 

[Dark Sun]

It does give Beta access.

 

[OCP]

I think BC2 will be like a new aged COD4... COD4 took over FPS on PC and i think BC2 will do the same!

Due to Iw not giving dedicated servers, its left a massive gap in the PC gaming market where even hardcore cod fans are not playing it or waiting for the next big thing to come along.

This will bring a lot to the table, the beta was gr8!

I believe this game killed mw2 in gameplay/graphics long before they were released going on the success of bf2 and an update is well overdue,common sense really,the game has the potential to be as Epic as bF2 was/is

Only problem i see is the ranks and medals will be easy to get... so i cant see this being a long term FPS game like bf2 was!

Bc2 on pc and console both use frostbite 2.0

I would not say cod4 took over FPS on pc as most players i know still prefered bf2 to cod4,cod4 was no bf2 killer,far from it,cod4 was ok different to bf2 but not as good in any department of gameplay,most people who played these 2 games went back to bf2 after as achieving top rank in cod4 dont take that long and the game becomes boring very quickly with its 1 dimensional infantry play only.Bf2 servers will continue to run for along time yet no matter how good bc2/bf3 is,however cod4 will have its diehard players but i can see it dieing out well before bf2 does.
