With thanks to Mattyboi for the heads up, it seems that Bad Company 2 will first appear as a MP beta on the Playstation 3 on the 19th of November. The PC beta is due for early December as well. All this is prior to a multi platform demo due early 2010.

Here is what EA/DICE had to say:
Starting 19 November 2009, PS3 gamers will be able to experience the unprecedented action, destruction, vehicular warfare, squad play and open sandbox environments that only Battlefield can deliver.
The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer beta will feature the Arica Harbour map, where up to 24 players can compete in one of the game’s four intense multiplayer modes called Rush. This new map displays a superb balance of vehicle and infantry combat, as the American assault unit attacks the Russian army base with full force, advancing further through a beautiful desert town and towards the industrial area in a desperate attempt to overtake the Arica Harbour. Heavy vehicle warfare on the first bases gradually turns into an intense infantry fight as the level progresses, showcasing this best-in-class online war experience.
Gamers can get a taste of this incredibly intense action by a numbers of ways including reserving the game with participating retailers. While supplies last.
How do I get a Beta Key?
For North America - Starting 10 November, participating GameStop locations and Gamestop.com will offer a PS3 beta keys to customers who reserve the game, while supplies last. Beta keys will be available for both online and in-store customers. So reserve your copy now!
For Europe and Asia - Keep your eyes open for local opportunities!
More details to follow as we continue to announce additional beta key partners next week. Check back our blog for more details.
Not a PS3 Owner?
Coming December, we will invite players to participate in a PC open beta. Then, early next year, all players worldwide will get to experience this premier shooter when we releases a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer DEMO on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available on March 2, 2010 in North America and March 5, 2010 in Europe for the Xbox 360, PS3 and the PC.

So with that said Im hoping someone will make a video of themselves playing the beta, or some montages. I know there might be a NDA but I really want to know how this game ranks up among the other battlefield games. So Im hoping for some beta reviews.
