With Modern Warfare 2’s release around the corner, Dice and EA are ready to rev up the Hype Tank on their newest First Person Deforestation Simulator Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

The Playstation Blog has today announced that PS3 owners will get the opportunity to beta test this game as soon as November 19th. Access to the beta will be made possible through different sources, such as IGN, Gamespot, participating retailers (through pre-order), and the Playstation Blog as well.

“Starting on November 19, the beta will feature the huge ‘Arica Harbour’ map where up to 24 players compete to secure valuable crates in the ‘Rush’ game mode as the action moves across a variety of different locations. From an initial vehicle assault on a military outpost the war winds through streets of a deserted town to an intense final fire-fight in an industrial harbour.”

Further details on beta access are TBA. Stay connected to PlayStation LifeStyle for more on the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta.
