Battlefield 3 Beta Access Included with Medal of Honor Limited Edition
by Brian Leahy, Jul 30, 2010 1:51pm PDTOut of nowhere, EA has announced that the limited edition of Medal of Honor will include access to the beta test for Battlefield 3 from DICE. Purchases of the LE will "receive an invitation to the Battlefield 3 beta within 12-months following the release of Medal of Honor."
This means that we should be seeing the beta for Battlefield 3 before October 12, 2011. Nothing else is known about Battlefield 3, but it was confirmed to be in development in June 2009. Sounds like a fall 2011 release may be in the cards.
We presume this means we'll see Battlefield 3 for the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 as the beta details mention Xbox Live Gold being a requirement for Xbox 360 users. The game will use the Frostbite 2 engine, which powers Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and the multiplayer portion of Medal of Honor, both of which are PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 titles.

After that you will be featured on the Master of Puppets 2 album cover in 2013, this time it is you who had his strings pulled, for titanic level black magick rituals, to further the denseness of the earth's meridians.

You can expect it to be on the level of BFBC2 with the same shit low res textures, small maps and not much vehicles just with the more BF classic classes. Oh and probably less than ideal UI as it is with all ports.

It's DICE we're talking of so regardless of the name, this will be Bad Company 3 and not BF3.
Although I enjoyed playing BC2 for a while I'd prefer my BF without consolitis. No mouse acceleration. Decent dedicated server crawling. Larger maps. FOV less 'close in'. PC HUD (health bars please. Fuck the regen/cover systems) etc.
