The anger is a bit over the top, but people are pissed cause they said early September. The last week of September is not "early September". I'm a little annoyed, but whatever at least I get to play on the 28th

Are they seriously Beta Testing Metro..... At least test a few maps

Not that excited now

Herbo · 20th September 2011, 11:58 PM

BETA SEPTEMBER!

Disclaimer: Might be the second last day of the month

Not even a conquest map either? WTF? We've been waiting for more Battlefield, not more Bad Company....

rowen · 20th September 2011, 11:59 PM

I wonder if the delay for an additional week is so M$/P$N can do what ever they need to for the console versions?

Darkness' · 21st September 2011, 12:01 AM

*shrugs* What ever. I get to play the game earlier than it's released. That's good enough for me. I have enough in life to keep me occupied until then.

Roll on next week.

I BOUGHT MEDAL OF HONOR LIMITED EDITION/TIER 1 EDITION ON STEAM. HOW DO I GET EARLY ACCESS?

IF YOU PURCHASED MEDAL OF HONOR THROUGH STEAM PRIOR TO JULY 26TH, 2011 CUT-OFF, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR EARLY ACCESS TO THE BATTLEFIELD 3 OPEN BETA.

TO VIEW YOUR KEY, GO TO MEDAL OF HONOR IN YOUR STEAM LIBRARY, AND CLICK THE "CD KEY" LINK. FIND THE "BATTLEFIELD 3 OPEN BETA EARLY ACCESS" KEY.

errr... there is no 'battlefield 3 open beta early access key' under CD keys, theres only medal of honor limited edition key

unless it only shows on the '27th'

MOH LE owners/BF3 pre orderes (origin) get access on the 27th. The open beta starts on the 29th. Hence 48 hours early access.

Make sure to activate your MOH LE keys from steam on origin. Yes, it will work

Man, the ridiculous levels of venom being spewed at Dice is amazing. I mean heaven forbid they set up the beta to deliver the metrics they need to get out of it.

People are morons.

Yeah lets just crank the BETA right to 11 and have 64 players and all the vehicles smashing it out. I'm sure we will be able to really pinpoint bugs in that mess laawl. But at least the whining community will love it....until they notice a bug.

If anyone is up late, this is fun to test out your reaction times & accuracy >_>

I absolutely fail at the speed test and cant hit any of them =/

My accuracy score was:

Score: 15900
Hits: 155
Misses: 31
Targets left: 55

That was after 3 goes, final go was best at 750 DPI & all mouse acceleration turned off.

DICE/EA have done and said things that have set expectations on the BETA and the community believes they were deceived and failed. Of course they are going to annoyed.

Accuracy I got was 15700 score, 162 Hits, 34 Misses, 59 Left.

But I am getting used to a new monitor and have a higher res and sens. If I was on my old 24" probably do better.

If they'd taken a more mature approach and taken the moral high ground and just been a bit more grown-up about this, it'd be better. "Hey, it's cool if you to play COD, but if you're after something with bigger maps, more players, and a gameplay that's a bit more tactically-oriented, here's BF3."

As they say, never argue with idiots. They drag you down to your level and beat you with experience.

The whole "WE'RE GONNA KICK MW3'S ASS!" is depressing. And they're not gonna beat COD in launch day sales, that's for sure. Don't be stupid. That doesn't mean it won't be a great game.

please asnwer this quick as im about to buy this in origin..

do i get a cd key? how do i download it? also how do i get my copy of it?

buddhamus · 21st September 2011, 3:31 AM

Hey guys,

Not sure if anyone knows this...ive tried googling it.

But what system specs are they using in the videos to showcase the game. The game runs pretty damn smooth. EG - The video at the start of this thread

Dodoman · 21st September 2011, 3:45 AM

2xGTX 580s and presumably an i7/i5 system.

They've also said you need 2xGTX 580s to run the game on ultra (smoothly), but I'm taking that piece of "info" with a grain of salt.

It's like steam, the game just gets added to your account. If you want the key you can right click the game in origin and get the key AFAIK.
