[garyfl]

dont know if this is possible but id like to do it to be able to play the beta early, cant see one which activates on steam, theres origin but its 39.99

BF3 isn't on Steam i'm afraid mate.

 

[garyfl]

I think you can only play the beta by ordering off origin, that's where i'd get it if i bought it on pc. But I bought medal of honor for the xbox a while back so I get to play BF3 tomorrow <3

Correct me if i'm wrong anyone, but i believe that an Origin preorder is the only way to get early access to the Beta.

I am currently trying to figure out where i should get it from as well (i'm not too bothered about the beta though)

its probably too late now, play it on 29th onwards. also its only available through retail OR origin. not steam

 

[garyfl]

ive never payed 40 for a game in my life ahaha but the hype is testing me to the extreme, i really want it to be the new crysis but something tells me ill be dissapointed. hmm i sjhould just order it shouldnt i.

Also if you took part in the alpha you should be able to play in the beta

Isn't the beta open anyway, and a preorder only gets it 2 days earlier?

It's open on the 29th to everyone, but you need origin for pc.
But it's out tomorrow if you pre-order from origin or buy medal of honor for the xbox or ps3

Don't start now then You can get the DVD version for £29, probably cheaper if you look around abit too!

Hmm I've got a a MOH Tier 1 box the slip about beta, never noticed it till now, i guess its to late to sign it up or what not?

 

[garyfl]

is it been streamed now ? where can i view it ?

Didn't you have to pre-order before the 25th or something to get "early" access?

Correct

I think i am just going to buy retail a bit before release tbh. Surely you can find a better deal than £40 from Origin!

So the beta is open to everyone regardless of whether you have a preorder then?

Thats good. I'm actually not that bothered, as i'm going to be quite busy over the next 2 weeks but i will have to fit in some play somewhere otherwise when i get it everyone will already be streets ahead of me because they have played the beta Especially on the ocuk servers, as i imagine pretty much everyone will have played the beta!

I bought BC2 quite late and ended up not enjoying it quite so much because everyone else already knew the maps and had advanced more.

evan if you dont order it off origin you need it to play the game.
