PS3 Beta Update by GvD

The BFBC2 PS3 Beta has been a huge success thanks to a the massive participation (300,000+ people) and invaluable feedback.  The team is, and has been, very busy reviewing tons telemetry data, feedback from the community, and implementing it into the final game for an amazing launch this March 2010!  The Beta will close December 21st so make sure to get your playtime in so when the demo releases your skills are still sharp!

Here is some fun data we collected:

- Total kills =  45.42M
- 9.4M k ills from Vehicles
- 3.43M Vehicles Destroyed
- 380K Houses Destroyed
- 1.01M Marksman Headshots
- Total number of points awarded =  10 100 094 360
- Total number of Revives = 2.52M
- Total Repair Tool kills = 15.58K
- Total Defibrillator Kills = 12.69k
- Total Knife Kills = 1.69M

So you have a 1 in 45 chance of getting sniped in the head. :)

Marksman Headshots are longrange headshots. You only get them, when you have to account for bulletdrop.
 
So yeah. A bullet might be flying over the entire map right now heading for your temple. ;D
 
Got sniped a couple of times from the tower on maptier 1, while I was defending maptier 4 and 5. Sonofabitch!
 
Also... sad fact: 'Beta ends on the 21st of December'. Still, I played for over 150h right now and might rack up another 30h 'til then. ValenciaJ is up to 200h (Leaderboard Nr.1) right now and not even rank 50 yet. Crazy replay value for a one map/one mode beta build. So much fun!

I love DICE so much for this beta, it's really a great example of how much craft and effort they put into their multi player as compared to the whole Infinity Ward "We don't need to beta test our game" *sips tea while wearing top hat and monocle*

I wasn't really happy with the BETA, mostly because I don't play much multiplayer in any game, and the ps3 controller didn't exactly feel right. I bought the last game on the 360 and the controllers where good. I don't know if it just takes some time to get used to, or what. Another problem I had was that the demo was restricted to a some sort of attack-and-defend mode, and it left me confused. I also had problems testing random things out, as I would just get sniped and shot in about 2 minutes of time. I'm not shitting on the game, it is one of my most anticipated games of 2010 so far. I would consider this a 360 buy for me, purely because of control issues.

PS3 BETA ends, PC BETA begins. Huzzah!
