    It's not actually an open beta, theres a limited number of keys and fileplanet are the only ones handing them out. Even if you subscribe you dont stand much chance.

    only EA would charge for a demo

    thats pretty disgusting. being as bf2142 is based on the same engine as bf2, can we expect the same problems ?

    It's available in the public eye if you look properly, although it's not for me to say where to get it from.

    I thought the beta was working by serial numbers? Of which theres a limited number...

    If it's available another way a PM would be dandy

    I don't know much on the subject, I just had a quick look. You probably still need the serial key, I don't think anybody has cracked it.

    I'm guessing a few people are uploading the installer, no good without a key though, and all EA keys go via the central database everytime you play multiplayer.

    Maybe you can play single player with it, but it's doubtful. Gonna wait for a 'real' demo myself

    well i got the download underway. but then couldnt be botherd with it. tbh i dont have high hopes for this game. if its set in the future with mechs and isnt battletech (mechwarrior series) or WH40k (like dawn of war) then its not really pushing my buttons.. il wait till someone makes a T/C for it so its set in WWII

    I know a couple of guys with the Beta saying its pretty average.

    Its feels and plays very much like a BF2 mod apparently, with insanely long loading times.
    There's lots of unlocks though, not just weapons but equipment too.

    Im gonna leave this one for now me thinks

    Only EA would release products while leaving the current ones full of bugs.

    You can reserve your name for BF2142 if you have a BF2 and EA account. You also get a rank up automatically (with an unlock) and also a exclusive taunt and veteran icon by your name.

    But in usualy EA fasion the form doesn't work at all, it keeps telling me that the EA account is invalid, even though I'm actually logged on with it.
