I thought it was tomorrow for people who pre-ordered it and Friday for others?

I take it the beta demo thingmajib is out probably 1 week before October starts?

I thought we might have a deluge of footage by now, didnt BF2 have a full talk through by this time. I only bought that because of a thread on ocuk btw, I completely missed bf1

Q – Will the console games ever have the number of players available to PC gamers?

A – "Consoles are not as powerful as todays PC’s. Running 64 players matches would mean scaling things down like vehicles, destruction ect. These are key pillars of what Battlefield is all about, this makes it a no for us."

First port of call in the beta will be the F18 and then AHZ.

let's hope they are not flying coffins.

People are assuming (somehow) that the date shown in the last trailer is the beta launch date, despite the fact it says "Operation Guillotine Continues 16/9/11" at the end of it, Operation Guillotine is a SP mission. Yet somehow people are connecting a SP trailer date to a MP beta date.

Basically comes down to the fact that people are making weird connections with any date they can find, we've had a ton of supposed beta launch dates with all sorts of DERP links to Dice employees twitter accounts, and so far none have been right.

Yup, most of this craps coming from the ea uk forums, with people that seemingly do nothing but spank the monkey to the devs twitter accounts day after day. Hoping devs type in a number so they can make some wired up connection to a launch date.

You would have thought by now there would have been an official beta release date if it was out this week or next.

Perhaps alluding that it will be out the last week this month.

First thing people need to start doing is to stop referring to it as a beta, when it is blatantly a demo.

Secondly all MP demos for BF games have appeared ~4 weeks before release.

'Beta' is no longer beta but a demo!!

EA are just milking the crap out of this, we're near half way Through September and not even a date has been announced. I can really see it being available literally on the last day or two of the month.
