Battlefield 3 Message Board  

We are happy to announce that the eagerly awaited Battlefield 3 Open Beta starts Thursday, September 29th!

Running until October 10th, the Battlefield 3 Open Beta is your chance to play the game early, try out our free social platform Battlelog, and help us make the game even better by sending us your valuable feedback.

If you pre-order Battlefield 3 (PC digital download version) on Origin before September 25th, or if you have 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, September 27th. The full details on how you will be granted early acess is available on our new Beta section.

For Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, the Open Beta will be visible on the consoles' digital marketplaces under Battlefield 3. For PC, you need to install Origin and download the Open Beta from within the Origin application.

For all your Open Beta questions and answers, head to our new Beta section at the official Battlefield 3 site. Enjoy the Beta, and let us know what you think!

Guys at EA have failed at the beta release.
Bought my pre-order on origin on 9/17/11 and never got my early access key with beta download instructions in my e-mail. This is common and ive seen alot of threads with alot of upset people who are not getting what they paid for and were expecting. OF COURSE ive sent an e-mail to EA support with no response by the second day, AND ive been waiting on live chat with origin but i waited an hour and a half last night without anyone getting to me.

WTF mate???
