Has anyone heard if the beta will be released at midnight for everyone else?

Seriously though, it's seems like most people in this thread are already in, but has anybody heard a time when the rest of us poor souls are let in?

Thank you sir! Just when I wake up! :p Hope Caspian Border is opened for us :)

I'm really not liking what I'm hearing about the 360 beta... I'm glad I pre-ordered Halo Anniversary instead of Battlefield 3 at this point, to be honest. Hopefully the kinks get ironed out before release, but it's getting pretty damn close.

Anybody else feel as though the grenade physics in BF3 feel about 10 years old?

Seriously feels like im throwing a sock through water..

no you are right. gernades are pretty much useless in this game. effin hate how you can't cook them either.

I wouldn't call them useless, I've gotten lots of grenade kills. But then again, your grenades can get blocked by ****in leaves and that's gotten me killed more times than I care to count. They still have around 4 weeks or so to fix all these bugs though, so I'm not terrible worried about it.

Also, the UMP-45 is a death ray. That gun is amazing. Highest kill streak with it so far is 14. The set up I've been using today is Recon with the UMP-45 and the portable spawn point thing. Works great.

Can anyone who managed to jump into a chopper or jet on Caspian tell me if they control more like Battlefield 2 or Bad Company 2? The videos don't seem really clear, I hated the way the choppers flew in BC2.

Definitely more bf2

[trag3dy]

So has anyone heard that the Back to Karkand pack thing is an expansion like Vietnam was for BC2? Mean the maps can't be played on regular map rotations? I'm not sure if that's true or not however. Just wondering if anyone else has read anything about that.

There have been some leaked Battlelog server browser images that show B2K selectable separately from main BF3. But I do recall Demize99 tweeting that you will be able to use B2K weapons in the regular game.

Holy poop, just had a quick game of caspian border i think its gone too much the other way, where BC2 was too small i think they thought 'right they think maps are small we will give them a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE one' i think Caspian is almost TOO big for the sake of the jets.

They STILL havent fixed sky bloom where if you are looking up at the sky the bloom completely washes out the HUD so if you are using AA looking up at the planes you cant shoot them accurately, theyve had this problem since Battlefield 2 you'd have though they would have fixed it by now.

Somewhere inbetween. You are stuck in cockpit view or outside view there isnt a no cockpit view with just HUD yet.

I'm watching that link too Chicane, I didn't even think of Origin.

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Ah.... in the FAQ...

WHERE DO I GET THE BETA?

On Playstation 3, the Beta will appear automatically on the Playstation Network Store. On Xbox 360, it will automatically appear on Xbox Live Marketplace. On PC, it will automatically appear in the Origin application's Free Games page.

[Lingwo]

It says it will appear in the "free games" section in Origin.
