Battlefield 2142 beta release in the works

EA and Dice are preparing a Battlefield 2142 beta that will debut as a subscribers-only download on FilePlanet. Currently, there is no suggestion that the beta will open up to the public. The exact release date of the beta is also unknown, but seeing as the full version of the game is due on October 10th, it will probably premiere before September. The Battlefield 2 sequel is set in a distant future Earth, where a new ice age has forced Darwinian struggle for the planet's few remaining resources.
