EA Origin pre-orders and Medal of Honor owners get access to the beta 48h earlier, on Sep 27.

looks like ill be playing tuesday

[Mister.E]

I am assuming most of you are PC gamers. But do you think for those of us that pre-ordered on console, will there be some sort of downloadable beta via PSN or X-Box Live?

[WERDdabuilder]

yes i believe for console(im getting it for PSN) you'll be able to download it on thurs. since i bought Medal of Honor a while back im able to get it early.

[Mister.E]

Nice.

Looking forward to playing this. When does the beta release for us people that didnt buy MOH?

[WERDdabuilder]

thursday.

add me on PSN(if thats the console youre getting it for). WERDdabuilder

This is from another forum...

A little insight from my friend from EA Montreal who worked on the game for a while.

"I foresee a lot of people complaining that you cannot pick your squad in the beta (it's like it was in the Alpha, just the Find Squad button), so keep in mind that what you are going to be playing is actually a month-old build."

"It'll be hard to miss with all the screwed up ragdoll physics in that build :P

Also, protip regarding the video options in the beta. They don't really work until you reload the game. "

[omgRWDgoodness!]

Soooooo....anybody care to join me for some BF1942/DesertCombat?

[1on1]

add me up on steam for the PC Players; n1tr1s.

I'll most likely be waking up to download and then wake up again to play . I already told my boss I am coming in late due to the BF3 launch, which he is playing as well.

[TheRealSy90]

Is there an open beta for 360 users? Not sure if I missed that or not.

[lawrenceyang]

dling right now

[KiLLeR2001]

Pre-ordered. Looks like I'll play on the 29th.

[dreaMervaj]

I need my beta code for Xbox!

[S14DB]

Ugh, 3hrs later my code shows up. Then another 30mins to DL. So lame.

[Flipzide]

Oh yea. If anyone here bought MOH anytime on Steam, be sure to check your CD keys. I ended up getting a spare one to give to my friend and the MOH copy wasn't even a preorder.

I'm loving the game so far. The game pace is perfect and lots of fun. The game play feels like a hybrid of COD and BC2, but a bit more like BC2. So far all servers are Metro though. Caspian is in the beta, but I haven't seen a server run it yet.

[WERDdabuilder]

anyone on PS3 having trouble finding it? it says its suppose to automatically pop up for me on PSN.....
went to PSN and it cant find the beta.

i bought the MOH:Limited edition also for this and got the early access code and already put it in.
got the early access email but doesnt tell me much.

HOW TO JOIN THE BATTLEFIELD 3 OPEN BETA:

2) From storefront, click on View All By Title, click on B

[lawrenceyang]

[4DOOR_LIFE]

[S14DB]

OMG, the Flashlight attachment is so kool.

[iHateMySilvia]

bitches be blinding me with that shit. i just shoot at the light whenever i see it now

[WERDdabuilder]

my worst nightmare came true.....

it feels way too much like COD

[4DOOR_LIFE]

its alright so far. there are some minor glitches, but i understand that its a beta and things will get patched up before the game is released.

that flashlight shit pissed me off at first, but I just unload on the light like Lawrence said.

i've had to deal with some occasional spawn campers which isn't fun. I liked how DICE disabled the prone position in MOH, wish they would do that in this game as well.

[lawrenceyang]

ground glitching a hell of a lot right now
