The Real Reason Bad Company 2 Beta Didn't Come To 360
Monday, 25 Jan 2010 - 18:27PM
Earlier this month DICE producer Gordon Van Dyke said that the reason the beta of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 didn't come to Xbox 360 was because it 'didn't work out for the Xbox 360' due to legal stuff and logistics.
However, the games senior producer, Patrick Bach has given a different explanation as to why it was a PS3 exclusive. In an interview with French site XboxMag360, Bach said;
"We had made an exclusive on Xbox 360 for the first Battlefield: Bad Company and we had lots of negative feedback from the PS3 community, so this time we decided to turn the wheel and serving players on Playstation 3. But we always look to make a demo available on all platforms, so the 360 community should not be disappointed."
So the real reason you 360 gamers didn't get an early chance to play the game may have been because of PlayStation 3 gamers giving DICE a slight hard time the last time around. But you will get a chance to play it, as a demo is due on February 4.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is out for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC on March 5. See our hands-on impressions here.

So basically they're just trying to even things out, so that they don't appear biased towards one console, makes sense. They'll be aiming to make the Bad Company 3 beta multi - platform then, to avoid any backlash from either side.
