For those that do not know this, you can play some of the Zombie modes on your Apple mobile device. Treyarch has recently released a lite version of it. Joystiq.com tells more:
Are you on the fence about whether or not you should pick up the cumbersomely titled Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies for your Apple-branded mobile device? First of all, fence straddling is dangerous. Get down from there! Also, there's no reason to be all wishy-washy anymore, as a free "Lite" version of the game has recently become available on the App Store.
Zombies Lite allows players to mow down three rounds of oncoming Nazombies in a single-player match, or two waves of the undead in a multiplayer match before coming to an abrupt end. That may come off as a little unsatisfying, but hey -- 'tis better to have murdered zombies and lost than to have never murdered zombies at all.
Karl-Magnus Troedsson, Executive Producer of the Battlefield series, has told OXM that Bad Company 2 will have free DLC.
Troedsson revealed the information when asked about the possibility of there being free DLC for Bad Company 2.
"There is definitely a solid plan for what we're going to do post-launch with this product," he replied. "We haven't announced all the details about it but yes, there will be free stuff for it, we really want to take care of people who buy our games. So yes, there will be free stuff. We did quite a bit of free stuff in Bad Company 1 as well.
"People need to be aware we're a business, we need to make money, so there will be some things you have to pay for but we will work hard to find balance in between those so people will get what they think is worth their money. I'm pretty sure people will be happy with it."
DICE has rolled out a small patch for the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta.
Important note: If you do not launch the game through the patcher, you will need to run the "BFBC2BetaUpdater.exe" in your Bad Company 2 folder. If you run Windows 7 with UAC enabled or Windows Vista with UAC enabled, you will need to run the updated as an administrator.
If you're running the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta through Steam and have a DirectX 11 capable machine, you may be experiencing more crashes than usual with the game. As it stands, the current non-beta Steam client does not play nice with DirectX 11. There is a simple fix for this and it merely involves opting in to the current Steam client beta.
All issues with this particular beta should be posted in this Steampowered forum thread.
First, let's start by making the official time and date of the Beta the start of this Blog in what will be and EPIC moment in DICE's PC History! The PC Beta begins this Thursday, January 28th at approximately 6pm CET, 12pm EST, and 9am PST time!!!!!!! :-D
Where to Get It
The Client will be downloadable from server partner websites and Steam starting at the above listed time at a file size of 1.5GB. Here's a hyper-link reminder Battlefield Blog on which retailers will provide PC Beta access through pre-ordering.
Why we're Having a Beta
The Beta is happening for many reasons, like testing the infrastructure, hosting stability, and gameplay tuning (FOV, Weapon Balance, etc...) that no amount of internal testing could provide better than real world exposure. This means there will also be times of choppiness, lag, disconnects, CTDs or other issues a Beta version of any MP game would have. We'll have feedback methods similar to the PS3 Beta as well to ensure your input is gathered and heard.
Advanced warning: there will be things updated in the final game, like a Server browser with more functions, optimizations, performance tweaks, and learning's from the Beta.
This truly is a Beta, so remember that all feedback is appreciated and wanted! :-)
Hosting the Beta
Renting of Beta servers will not be possible, but we'll work closely with all our RSPs* to ensure there is always enough capacity for each individual regions.
Where to Download the Beta
We'll distribute with many partners as possible to ensure the fastest DLs no matter your location around the world. Current know locations and methods will be EADM, Steam, Torrents (only get this from legit sources, i.e. an RSP*), and all our RSP's.
Getting Started In the Beta
STEP 1: Make sure you have at least 5GB free on your HDD and then download and Install BFBC2! :-D
STEP 2: Once installation is completed (install size will be around 1.5GB) start the client and click the login button. You will then be prompted to sign in with your EA Account. If you don't have an EA Account you'll be able to create one in the same screen. (You may also create your EA Account in advance HERE)
STEP 3: Enter the unique PC Beta Code during the log in process to authenticate your participation in the Beta.
Step 4: Create your Soldier name (this will lock that name to your EA account for retail if you want to keep it).
Note: You will not be able to play or access any multiplayer menus without being authenticated. After the Beta Key is registered it will be tied to your EA Account and no longer valid for new registrations. Our game will use SecuROM for the Beta and Final games .exe, for more info on how SecuROM works in BFBC2 please read this Blog to learn about it in more detail.
