Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Beta Ends, VIP DLC Details

EA tweets that the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PC beta has concluded, though there is still the chance to offer feedback: "The BETA of Bad Company 2 PC has now ended. Thanks for all the valuable information you gave us. You can still feedback http://bit.ly/bkwf7b." They also announce additional details about the previously announced plan for free day one DLC for the military shooter sequel. They say two maps can be unlocked with the included VIP code when the game launches on March 2 in North America: the Laguna Alta conquest mode map and the Nelson Bay rush mode map, bringing the total number of multiplayer maps in the game to 10. They also say that later in March DICE will release another map pack at no extra charge to those with a VIP code, adding the Arica Harbor conquest mode map and the Laguna Presa rush mode map. "Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will redefine online modern warfare on March 2. We are deeply committed to the FPS community and Battlefield fans worldwide," says Patrick Bach, Senior Producer. "These first two map packs are just the beginning. We’re planning ongoing support for the community by always keeping the experience fresh and ensuring the best possible gameplay experience." The Battlefield Blog offers a Day 1 Map Pack Trailer showing off the new maps as well as a Battlefield Bad Company 2 Celebrity Tournament recap video.

Beta ended and they never really fixed the performance. Guess I won't be ever buying this one for PC...
The patch that came out about a week ago helped a lot for me.

Love when the extra shit you get for preorders works on the MP side and potentially give you an unfair advantage.
There are? I think you only get one gun different, and that can be unlocked in the game.

Wait until the DLC weapons work in "normal" game modes and you HAVE to buy them to keep up. (like the extra radar in 2142, and the guns in BF2 - Special Forces. That's a dick maneuver.
