I have to go to a night meeting tomorrow, so no Beta until late (probably none tomorrow, considering how long it may take to DL and install).

Do you need to get a key? I pre ordered but I have not gotten a key or anything.

The preorder says you get to play the demo. This is the beta.

I understand the keys will be released at 12 noon EST.

I did get a key this morning from Combat Testing that is doing an organized beta testing..

I could have sworn it said you could get in on the beta with a pre order.

This is from the Steam store. I do believe I ordered the Limited Edition because the price matches and there is no other version in the store.

I've seen a few videos now, and ask this: has anyone else noticed that they've amped the speed up from BF2 and 2142? The foot combat speed is much more akin to COD 4 than BF2. I don't think I like that. Guess I'll see with the Beta.
