Confusion no more — Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is getting a beta. Headed to the PS3 first on November 19, the beta will be available to those who pre-order the game from GameStop only (keep an eye on BF’s blog for European and Asian details) and includes the Arica Harbor map, seen in the video above, where up to 24 players can cause glorious mayhem and destruction.

The beta will also make its way to the PC some time in December where it’ll be freely accessible for all who want to participate.

And finally, a multiplayer demo will make its way to all systems “early next year,” presumably before the game’s March 2 North American and March 5 European release.
