Want to get your first-person shooting on early? You can! Well, if you’re at all interested in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, you can download a demo on Xbox 360, and get a free beta if you’re a PC pre-order. (Apparently, the PS3 beta is already going on, but a demo will be available on February 4/February 11 in Europe.)

A description of where you’ll play:

The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 console demo and PC beta will feature Port Valdez, a new vehicle focused map where up to 24 players (32 on PC) will compete against each other as either the US or Russian armies in the game’s Rush multiplayer mode. Players will have access to five land and three air vehicles where the Russian side can use everything in their arsenal including Main Battle Tanks as well as the fast-moving Quad Bikes and Mobile Armored AA. The fight will also be packed with plenty of infantry combat fought alongside the waterline towards a great oil industrial landscape in the Alaskan mountains.

Will this be enough to sate you before March 2? Who’s looking forward to more time with the Bad Company?
