BF:BC 2 Demo Gameplay & Beta Thoughts..
Been playing the demo of the battlefield today on the xbox 360 and also been having a blast on the pc beta.
I think the xbox version has much better AA , textures and less pop ups, but the animations look stiff and i feel
the xbox is very sluggish for controls and movement.
However i have been informed its not the final build..
This map is port valdas and i like it myself, get to see most of the vehicles in this game.
It’s a different story for the PC beta, i can’t get used to it, it feels like it should stay on console .. i duno, the pc version is very buggy 
Crashing and allsorts of crazy shit, man i don’t have enough webspace to talk about it lol.
Nah, but i got a few games in on pc..but i think i’ll stick to the console for this sequel.
If your having issues getting the download of pc get this torrent:

(fastest one i know of right now)
Update:
After playing all platforms pc, ps3 and xbox360 demo, so far the ps3 control wise is the best, the controls feel much more responsive, even on the pc they are pretty shabby.
Graphically the xbox has smoother textures on the 2 consoles and the pc is far superior in the graphics dept…
Consoles version specifics..
At the moment i am undecided, on one hand the ps3 controls, fluid like gameplay and controls far out way the 360.
I also find no ragdoll physics in xbox, people go into a scripted death, every death looks the same…
The xbox demo also has limited weapon unlocks , so your’re always got 2 unlocks, but the 360 demo gives me chance to check out the vehicles in this game from atvs, anti air vehicles, helicopters and jeeps, i like what i see.
But overall not liking the 360 control schemes, they have fucked it up… no bad company proper feel to them, vehicle controls feel stupid, taking away the ability to use thumb sticks for controls ie forward back/pitching/yaw on helis and tanks.. wtf?
I will be eagly awaiting the ps3 demo to hope they have not changed to much there, however i must admit some of the gameplay on the 360 feels miles better from a visual point of view, but it still has many many issues..
I’ll be giving a full verdict of it once i have had a demo of ps3, but base don the ps3 beta, overall the ps3 wins.
Anyways the video is below..

There’s a lot of BFBC 2 noobs on the 360 just now, but it stay that way.
How come XBOX LAG got this before Playstation Network?
it’s still a beta (apparently).
Dont forget we had months to play out beta.
Looks good Sy, especially the dog tags! And at last, transports that fly again.
I wonder if getting a couple of engineers and a couple of medics in there will work like the transports in 2142?
@daz – hope so, didnt get chance to try it myself with engi and medic combo, unless u wanna get on the box later for some teamwork lol.
@dotcody, yer i think demo is early for xbox as we had beta on ps3, not really sure.
