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.

i see BF games, including BC2 as being games for "real" gamers. the jocks who play games tend to play MW2.
PC gamers tend to think that they are the elite and above console gamers. i guess that's what gets to me.
would you prefer a system where each game was platorm exclusive? no multiplatform at all? and where do you think certain games would end up going if it was like this?
