EA has revealed some details about the upcoming beta for the PC version of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The beta will begin on January 28 and will last until February 25. Seems GameStop got it right on the nose.

The beta features the 32-player Port Valdez map set alongside the waterline towards a great oil industrial landscape in the Alaskan mountains. It’s a vehicle-focused battle with tanks, quad bikes, and mobile armored AAs but there’s still plenty of infantry combat.

The best way to get in on the beta is to pre-order a copy of the game. A list of retailers and e-tailers is still being finalized, but the EA Store and GameStop.com have been confirmed. EA and DICE are also negotiating with Valve to release the public beta on Steam.

Here are a few more bullet points regarding the game’s PC beta:

• Anti Cheat: We’re going with PunkBuster supporting the same options BF2 and BF2142 had to run unranked without PunkBuster.
• Mod Tools: There will not be mod tools for BFBC2. However a majority of the the games logic is controlled by the server and there will be Serverside control options for the dedicated servers.
• Public Server Files: We will not distribute these publicly. There are many factors for why we have decided this with the biggest factor being security & integrity of our game & Dedicated Servers.
