Pre-Order Battlefield 3 on Origin and Gain Access to the Beta

[CptainCrunch]

From Origin:

Open Beta for Battlefield 3 (Origin Exclusive)
Players who pre-order the game from Origin will be granted early access to the Open Beta for Battlefield 3 when it goes live in September 2011.

So now if you pre-order Battlefield 3 on Origin, you will get:

The Limited Edition with the Karkand Pack
The extra perks in the Physical Warfare Pack
Pre-Download of Battlefield 3
Features that Origin has including friends list and chat system
Access to the Battlefield 3 beta in September

Makes it hard to say no to Origin, doesn't it?

I can't decide where to preorder from AARRGGHH

The early beta is tempting, but after that week or whatever your only bonus would be the physical warfare pack, which is rumored to be released to everyone after some months.

Amazon has some special dog tags and Best Buy has the SPECACT. Gamestop only has the PWP so I won't go there.

Its skins that make things look different. Thats it. Like the kits in BC2.

Early acces to the OPEN beta? Interesting way to combine marketing and development research.

I could have missed it somewhere, its not impossible, but I dont recall seeing anywhere where DICE or EA said the beta was open. Even the "open alpha" was not open to everyone.

It will be open to everyone. There is one closed + one open beta. The closed beta is the early access to the open beta.

At least that is what I've been hearing. More info will come soon.

I'm just making my mind where to pre order..A physical DVD is great if I need to take it somewhere else... Origin is tempting with all the offers... but Direct2Drive has % off... fuuuuuu

Re: Pre-Order Battlefield 3 on Origin and Gain Access to the Beta

Same. I prefer having the physical DVD but the incentives from Origin are tempting.

ha I already got the early beta access, even though I never played MoH online as far as I could remember, just registered it to my account, or used my ea account to login cant remember ha the origin price isnt that great but I bet a lot of people will do it to get into the beta and then cancel their pre order once they get into the early beta?

Judging from my experience in the alpha test, you guys are better off NOT to order this game. This is NOT a true sequel to what was the glorious BF2. Sooooooo many are going to find themself feeling cheated, and the rest are to young and stupid to know what a decent BF game is..

Some of us do not wear the beer goggles of BF2 and know the true flaws in the game and do not want an exact replica of a game that was ruined with patch after patch and it took mods to improve it.
