Battlefield 3 beta in Medal of Honor
Posted: 02.08.2010 11:19 by Simon Priest Comments: 7
EA has officially revealed the existence of Battlefield 3 by promising multiplayer beta access "within 12 months" of Medal of Honor going to retail.

The Limited Edition of the modern day Afghanistan-based shooter will include beta keys. So far no specific information exists on the next Battlefield.

"EA also announced today that people who own the Medal of Honor Limited Edition will receive an invitation to the beta for another highly-anticipated EA shooter, Battlefield 3," blogged EA. They also confirmed it was Swedish team DICE handling the game.

"Restrictions and conditions apply to Beta offer," goes the fine print. We'll have quite a wait yet before we can find out what they are. The only thing we have to go one for Battlefield 3 are past comments from DICE and EA.

"What the PC version is going to be, Battlefield 3, I think it's going to absolutely blow everyone away, but I can't tell you what it is, but it will blow people away... because it's not Modern Warfare 2 PC, it's not that experience," said former DICE chief Fredrik Liliegren back in February this year, around the time Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was launching.

Are your hopes high for Battlefield 3? DICE developed Medal of Honor's multiplayer.

I hope this offer includes the Limited Edition on Steam, I plan to buy it there, but so far it says nothing about the Battlefield 3 beta on the game's page on the Steam Store.

Also yes, my hopes are high, DICE has proved their superiority on Multiplayer shooters over and over again, with Bad Company 2 being the best released shooter in the world at the moment. Definately looking forward to Battlefield 3, and MoH as well for that matter.. though I'm more interested in MoH's single player campaign. (which wasn't done by DICE)

I wouldn't put too much faith in the SP Campaign given EA's history of late ("Airborne" was over in a heartbeat). Anyway, I am looking forward to it and hopefully will put the MoH franchise back at the forefront of gaming. BF 3 I'm not sure about. I just hated the spawn killing in BF 2.

Well, after BC 2, waiting for BF 1943 for PC, I'm taking these news with a huge portion of bah! BC 2 was ok but nothing special really and EA promises for PC is as much use as note of IOU from a burgler..

Yeah I miss the grand scale from BF2, which I'm no longer playing. Moved to BFBC2. So looking forward to it! On the other hand, never was a too big fan of MoH.

Suuuuuuuucks, imo the BFBC2 players should get a beta key too. I don't want to get MoH just for the BF3 beta. XD
