Grab it while you can: http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/bf2142/screening.aspx (just in case you missed it in the other thread).

Currently in a queue myself....

The client has been updated to coincide with this open beta so hopefully it should be a little better than the previous release.

EA-haters...bit your lips if you can manage it..we all know how hateful this company is etc etc.

Hopefully see some of you online later...

Just got this email...

"The old beta client will not run with the updated servers so you will need to download this new build. You'll also need to uninstall the old beta client before installing this one.

This new version includes many fixes for stability, functionality and balance as well as performance enhancements"

for all those who have been using the previous client.

Finally downloading

....at 145kbs on a 10mb connection.

They should release using torrents...much better for files of this size.

4 mins left on the download.

Oh I hate waiting

You'll most likely be waiting another 2 hours + once it starts so you better get comfortable!

Previously i reserved my current bf2 name using the veteran link thing..is this meant to be available now or not until full release? i'm trying to create the name in the beta but it says it's already taken.
