I bought Medal of Honor yesterday (Amazing game btw) and it came with a invite to the Battlefield 3 beta. Did the beta already happen? Did I miss it? Or did it not happen yet? If it didn't happen yet, wouldn't that mean it would be canceled, because the game comes out in about 2 months, they definitely don't have time to do a beta, get the info they need, and release it within 2 months...

Did I miss the beta? :(

The beta starts in September. Those who own Medal of Honor get in early. Don't sweat it.

The beta will start sometime next month. They just got finished with the closed alpha testing and they need time to process that data before releasing an updated beta build.

So they are having a beta in September, and the game is coming out in October? That'll go over well...

That's what I was saying.... it's kinda pointless. It should be this month, or shoulda been last month. I honestly think it will be delayed.

My guess is that the beta will be exclusively for server testing. They've already done alpha tests so they have the major balancing done already.

I agree with that. Since the alpha testing phase is over they already have most of the information they required for the general multiplayer game mechanics but only played on private servers. With the Beta testing they will be seeing how the public servers will handle and do any repairs necessary for them. I still need to buy MoH though because I do want that beta.

not really

the beta is for online MP. Any fixes they need to do can be done through updating the game through online. So ya it's not pointless.

This is how most beta tests are done these days. :/ More of a demo than a beta. Need more betas like the Gears 3 beta. Months in advance and actually used to fix the game.

But as said above... The beta starts next month. MoH is certainly worth the 18$ youcan get it for at Gamestop. It's a solid game with some huge flaws. Oveall worth playing to pass some time, but nothing worth taking seriously. Your beta invite should be tied to your EA Gun Club account.

Haha, I have 6 games that I have yet to complete the story of, too. Not because I don't want to, but because I take my time on them and then a new game comes out so I get distracted.

Haha, I used to rush games, and then I found that achievements really help flesh out the game (when they are not worthless grinding). But yes, have you read the battleblog 5 for BF3? I will be spending a lot of time on that game...a lot.
