http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/BF3_5F00_OperationMetro_5F00_MP_5F00_02.jpg With the Battlefield 3 Open Beta starting September 29th, millions of gamers will have the chance to play Battlefield 3, help us test our back-end, and give us valuable feedback on the game. Some of you will be eligible to start playing the Open Beta as early as September 27th, a full 48 hours before the it opens to the public. This post will answer any of your questions on how early access to the Battlefield 3 Open Beta works. If you have more questions, we have a more extensive Open Beta FAQ at this link. Q: What are the regular dates for the Open Beta?A: September 29th-October 10th, 2011. Q: Who is eligible for early access to the Battlefield 3 Open Beta on September 27th?A: Customers who have pre-ordered the PC digital download version of Battlefield 3: Limited Edition on Origin, or registered their first-hand copy of Medal of Honor: Limited Edition/Tier 1 Edition, or purchased Medal of Honor Limited Edition from Steam prior to July 26th, 2011. Q: How do I join the early access Open Beta?A: For Xbox 360, you will receive an email with instructions and your personal early access code. Note your code and follow the instructions. For Playstation 3, the early access Open Beta will automatically appear for you in the PlayStation Network Store. On PC, you will receive an email with instructions and your personal early access code. Note your code and follow the instructions to redeem the code on Origin. Q: I bought Medal of Honor: Limited Edition/Tier 1 Edition on Steam. How do I get early access? A: If you purchased Medal of Honor through Steam prior to July 26th, 2011 cut-off, you are eligible for early access to the Battlefield 3 Open Beta. To view your key, go to Medal of Honor in your Steam library, and click the "cd key" link. Find the "Battlefield 3 Open Beta early access" key. Battlefield 3 is delivered through Electronic Arts' Origin client. (direct download, 47mb: www.origin.com/download ) Once you have Origin installed, run it and log in with your Origin ID. (This will be the same as your EA account ID used in Medal of Honor.). In the Origin client, click the gear icon in the top menu bar, and then select "redeem product code". Q: Is Origin required to play the Open Beta?A: Origin is not required to play on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. For PC, Origin will be used to distribute the Open Beta installation and run the game, and is therefore necessary to play. Q: Where do I install Origin?A: www.origin.com/download Q: Where do I go if I have more question?A: You can visit our extensive Open Beta FAQ here. http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=47160View the full article

http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/WP.jpg There are a lot of posts regarding BF3 here on the Battlefield Blog. But... what about older titles? Well, here's an update long in the making for BFBC2 PC! It will all go live in the wee hours of Wednesday Sep 21st (EU time). What is the patch about? Its main goal is to address stability problems with the game and performance issues. It is not intended to address game logic fixes. You are being vague. Exact changelist please! Removed some memory leaks Fixed crashes when the game attempted to render lots of content (high detail, high FOV or multiple-monitor modes); this should particularly help multi-monitor users Chat window no longer causes lag spikes Chat window reworked opacity & visibility-time is controllable through settings in settings.ini Clantag is remembered when using auto-login Banner URLs can be up to 252 characters in length SecuROM wrapper removed from non-Steam version Minor performance enhancements Reduced rubberbanding on servers with more than 24 active players PrintScreen takes a screenshot, file stored in DocumentsBFBC2Screenshots directory How large is the patch? It is approximately 2.6GB. That's huge man. Given that size, I would expect dinosaur survival mode to be included. The patch itself contains all previous patches rolled into one. While it would have been technically possible to create a smaller patch for those who have Client R10 installed already, that would have delayed the release of the patch even further - so we thought it better to release a larger patch now, than a smaller patch sometime in the future. Are there any known problems with it? If your Windows username contains non-English characters (such as ö, ý, etc) then PunkBuster will not activate properly. To work around this, ensure that your Windows username uses only characters from the English character set. In other words, "7-bit ASCII only, please". We caught this at the very end of the validation pass, and decided that it was better to deliver the build to the public than to give it another tour through the whole patch generation and validation process. How do I get the patch? Steam users: The Steam client will automatically begin distributing it to you in the wee hours of Wednesday morning... at 4AM UTC, to be precise. non-Steam users: the auto-updater will suddenly discover the patch around that same time. Or - you can find a manual updater for the non-Steam version here. Note that if you install Client R11 too early, you will not see any game servers. If so, just wait till those begin updating as well. For those users that are having problem with the game's auto-updater, we recommend trying the manual updater. I installed the Client R11 Public Beta patch some time ago, how do I sort out my machine? Follow this link to see what you have to do. What about the game servers? These will gradually be updated by the RSP companies, starting at 4AM UTC on Wed Sep 21st as well. New game clients can only see new game servers, and vice versa... so toward the end of the day, most of the servers should be updated and visible in the new game client's server browser. Now, pardon me, but there are game servers to distribute...
