Battlefield 3 beta now available to the masses

4.3
Battlefield 3's open multiplayer beta should now be available for all on Xbox 360, PS3* and PC. The infantry focused "Operation Metro" map is the sampler for the beta, pitting two sides against each other in Rush Mode. One team defends, while the other attempts to destroy several sets of objectives before they get turned to Swiss cheese.

The beta will end on October 10. There's not much time to fret afterward, as the full game will hit stores and EA's Origin shop on October 25.

*Update: According to EA's Battlefield Twitter, PS3 owners in North America will have to wait until later today.

I downloaded the beta today and was very frustrated with the fact that I couldn't even play it for several hours. Final I got into a game and was ready to play. I love alot about this game the detail on the environment, Frostbite 2 kicks ass and the multiplayer looks great. However there were something's that I didn't like. I could see through some walls, after you die the people look really fake spectating them from the front sometimes, and I wasn't very good. I am fairly certain that in October when the full game is relased that all this stuff will be much better, gameplay, people, ect. I just can't wait for October 25th. Dice: you certainly have excelled my expectations on this game and I couldn't be happier if you fixed some of those minor problems. Thank you.

Sincerely,



TTG Battlefield

I played the beta for a couple hours this morning and I gotta say, its freaking amazing. I can't wait for the full game. But it's a damn shame that they're servers are **** up for whatever. It's a bad first impression for alot of people who can't even play one game. But when you do play it, you will love it.

EA can't afford reliable servers or what....

It is an absolute shame that this is the product that they wanted to show to everyone on their respective systems 1 month before the game comes out. Just another demo they call a beta, if this was a real beta we would've seen it much earlier

Reach's servers were way better than this.
