Battlefield 3's open beta starts on Thursday, Sept. 29
http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield3/1/beta

If you pre-order the PC digitial version of Battlefield 3 on EA's Origin store before Sept. 25, or if you bought Medal of Honor: Limited Edition/Tier 1 Edition, you will get 48 hours early access to the Beta, meaning you can start playing Tuesday, Sept 27.

Now for the bad news: The beta map will be Operation Metro map playing the game's Rush mode. So that means that we will have to wait till release day before we get to experience 64 player map greatness.

Same damn map as the Alpha

I dont mind the fact that its the same map. I am disappointed that its the same mode and the same map thus only 32 players.
They could have given us Op Metro but the conquest mode and 64 player map.
We dont even get to practice using all the vehicles, tanks, jets, choppers.

I agree, thats pretty lame. That said, I didn't have alpha access so i'm not too upset.

well at least it's not this week I'm away for work.

[mmettin]

I will be away for work when its time

Maybe my laptop will play it, but I doubt it

Hopefully this time around 99% of the rounds wont end before a single point is captured.

The second half of the map is the most visually stunning once you get to the city after you go through the subway area.

Never made it that far.

I want some decent team balancing. AI switching people over to other sides if necessary.

Hmm, I'll be interested to see how my new Radeon 6870 will play this game.

Keen for SLI/Crossfire as usual.

I thought the recommended card was GTX460 1GB or better, not 560. Well it better run nice with my 2 460's or i'll be very upset.

It had better run well on a single 460 or there are going to be a lot of unhappy gamers.
