DICE has reassured the PC community that its plans for a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta haven't been binned.

Speaking in an update on the official Battlefield site, DICE's Gordon Van Dyke said the PC beta has simply been delayed until early next year, in order to "drastically increase" capacity.

"We wanted to update you, and slow the flood of tweets, on questions surrounding the BFBC2 PC Beta being cancelled," he wrote. "I'll get right to it and say 'the BFBC2 PC Beta is not cancelled'.

"Now this all started due to changes made to an earlier blog that removed the PC Beta from the details and the reason for this was the plan changed"
With the "huge success" of the PS3 Beta DICE decided to "drastically increase" the PC Beta's capacity to ensure as many people as possible could participate, Van Dyke said.

"Unfortunately this meant we had to delay the Beta to very early next year giving us more planning time to make it happen and implement more optimizations."

The PlayStation 3 beta is going on right now.
