Back in November I pre-ordered BF BC2 from Game for Â£24.99 Limited Edition.

However I recently learned that they weren't part of the official Beta partners.

As a result, the other day I cancelled my order and pre-ordered at Play.com instead.

Fair enough its Â£26.99 but next day was sent a beta key and I can now get on and have a go.

Okay, so you're on official GSV reconnaissance... mingle in with the crowd, try not to look too suspect, and do your best to look like you're enjoying yourself... if you can force yourself to do it - try out the choppers.

We know you're only doing this for Clan and Country... it's gonna be hard, but they've chosen the right man for the job, give it your best OGF1...

Is there a commander in BFBC2?

Well at the moment I haven't really played it that much, just had a run around on empty maps to see what does what.

On the occasions that I have played on a full server I find it hard to get the hang of it, its really fast paced not really any time to think.

Its definately NOT like CS and is very much like BF2 but with loads more going on.

The map that is available to play is an attack/defend scenario.

The attacking team have to get to the base and destroy 2 targets before the game opens up the next part of the map to destroy the next 2 targets etc.

Like I said its very fast paced and I'm having difficulty getting the hang of it, but have only played on full servers a couple of times.

I will probably still go ahead and buy it and give it a go once all the maps are available but I don't know if I'm really gonna get into this like I did with BF2.
