Technically Battlefield 3 hasn't event been officially announced yet by publisher Electronic Arts but that isn't stopping it from revealing that the upcoming shooter sequel from developing Digital Illusions is getting a beta test. Invites to the beta are set to be automatic when you purchase the Limited Edition version of another upcoming EA shooter, Medal of Honor.
Said beta test will begin within 12 months of Medal of Honor's release to stores on October 12. Let's just hope we won't have to wait until October 2011 for the beta to start. We don't want another Battlefield 1943 for the PC deal to happen.

So I have to buy an EXTREMELY dumbed down console port of a game to get access to the beta of what will probably be yet another ruined series thanks to consoles. I already wasted my money on BC2 and the MoH beta lasted about 1 hour on my computer before I raged from topping the leaderboards ramboing as a sniper on a server half a world away :/
There goes one of the last good shooters. Going to have to stick close to the Source engine from now on and pin my hopes on Nuclear Dawn.Posted at 10:21PM on Jul 30th 2010 by SadFace
