Any1 tried logging on to Battlelog? I just tried and It says "Account is not allowed to login".

Same here. I think until they send the emails & then allow you access then Computer Says No.

If you were on the Alpha from buying MOH then will I automatically recieve an email with an early access beta key?

I've just logged into Origin and nothing, It's still letting me download the Alpha though lol..

The Alpha wasn't guaranteed entry, so if you got in you were one of the lucky ones, as was I.

If you have MoH:LE then you'll get early access to the beta, along with the people who have pre-ordered BF3 on Origin. We just need to wait for the emails with the keys/access as far as I know.

Same here, roll on Thursday and open beta.

Gazanimal · 26 Sep 2011 at 15:57

You don't have to.

The only advantage to ordering through Origin is the 48 hour early access to the Beta & convenience of the download.

Wait until Thursday 12pm & everyone can play the Beta.

So does this mean ati cards wont run smoothly or does it mean nvidias previous drivers were having issues and the 38% increase is up from its previous state?

Sorry if this has been posted

Nvidia had problems in the Alpha.

There is no point in having a DVD copy of the game these days. It's not like it add's to the resale value (where possible).

It's cheaper than digital downloads at times, as was the case for BF:3 if you didn't have codes for Origin.

Beta Code Email Info

Off the US site:

Hello Folks,

I have only just got off the line with EA in terms of getting some response to you guys about your Early Access Emails!
I've been receiving quite a bit of emails/private messages in regarding this lately, and the best response we can give right now is as follows.

Electronic Arts will be sending emails out with redeemable codes inside them, you will then go to this site and redeem the code in order to get access to the Early Access promotion.
Electronic Arts have already started sending out those emails, however most of you will start receiving your emails by midnight tonight(09/26/2011) in order for you to have them in your inbox by tomorrow morning (Tuesday 09/27/2011).

What are the requirements in order to receive Early Access?
In order to qualify for Early Access you must have played Medal of Honor Tier 1 or Limited Edition online and redeemed your Online Pass, or you must have pre-ordered Battlefield 3 via Origin before the 25th of September.

When will I get my email?
Sometime between Midnight tonight(most likely PST timezone) to the early hours of Tuesday morning.

What is in this email?
Information on how to redeem your key, the redemption key, and also a link to the redemption website.

Which email is this being sent to?
The email will most likely be sent to your EA Master Account's email, if you have linked your gamer profiles to that email.

Misc..
Emails will be sent to individuals who participated in the Medal of Honor T1/Limited Edition (Xbox 360/PC) promotion with information on how to redeem.

Emails will also be sent to the Origin BF3 Preorder users via their email, with information regarding that.
You will also receive a email if you purchased Medal of Honor via Steam prior to the 25th of July. Your key will be within your Steam Library -- right click Medal of Honor and then click "CD Keys" your code will be listed within that.

Currently I have no details as to wether Playstation 3 users will receive a email, you should see Battlefield 3 automatically popup within the PSN Network by tomorrow! (If you qualified, by the above).

The point is the DVD is cheaper and you don't have xGB to download!

RavenXXX2 · 26 Sep 2011 at 16:18

Nice to have the retail box to go along side my BF2 copy and a tenner saved.

cHk4 · 26 Sep 2011 at 16:19

I rarely get a disk copy of the game, the only time I do is...
Collectors edition with physical stuff I want
Not a steamworks game so I have a chance of playing it early.

BF3:LE cost me £17 via the EA Store, much cheaper than having to go visit a store

So I won't get a early access code, because I didn't order before the 25th?? Just ordered today. I will cancel otherwise and get from gameplay.
