Re: Getting Ready for the Battlefield 3 Beta and Start Time.

Also if you bought MoH, any edition before July 26th you'll get early access.

If you’ve purchased Medal of Honor through Steam prior to the July 26th, 2011 cut-off, you are eligible for early access to the Battlefield 3 Open Beta.

The Open Beta Early Access starts September 27th, 2011. The Open Beta will be available to everyone else on September 29th, 2011.

We will continue to update this thread with further information on obtaining your Early Access Key as this period approaches.

Re: Getting Ready for the Battlefield 3 Beta and Start Time.

It is 7am central time here and still no email. I pre ordered on Origin last week. EA and DICE really dropped the ball on this one.

Re: Getting Ready for the Battlefield 3 Beta and Start Time.

Why didn't they send them out in advance? Or would that cause complications?

Re: Getting Ready for the Battlefield 3 Beta and Start Time.

I ordered BF3 on Origin and should be eligeble for the pre-Beta. But no email from EA.
Lets check the spamfolder just in case........... Nope, nothing but penisenlargements and women I do not know who found me via the Facebook profile I do not have.

Why cruel world, why????

Re: Getting Ready for the Battlefield 3 Beta and Start Time.

Yeah, these things never work out on the dot. Give it another couple hours and I am sure we will all have the email.

I hope :wee:

Re: Getting Ready for the Battlefield 3 Beta and Start Time.

My mail arrived about 30 minutes ago, and the MoH thing on Steam should also be working now

Re: Getting Ready for the Battlefield 3 Beta and Start Time.

Have read now that people have been stealing beta keys through a loophole. So people that didnt even pre order it or have the moh are getting multiple keys. The whole beta key thing is an utter failure.

Re: Getting Ready for the Battlefield 3 Beta and Start Time.

LOL, I wouldnt call beta keys being late or stolen an utter failure for testing/demoing a program that has just barely started.

For me, BC2s beta test was an utter failure as every single bug I reported is still in the game today. A few they fixed and then put back with other patches.

Re: Getting Ready for the Battlefield 3 Beta and Start Time.

Well annoyingly I bought the physical version of Medal of Honor (Stupid yankee spelling) Tier one. Still nothing. And doesnt look like it as its registration process was a mess and a half. Even though I got it the holidays before last its probably not registered right or something. Oh well, looks like I'll have to wait it out then.

Try to register the game on Origin, that worked for me.

Now it's just 3 hours of waiting left...
