Beta start?

Is it only for those that pre ordered?

No beta start unfortunately... however that was just me whining impatiently waiting for it.:cry:

I wish!!

I'm thinking it can't be too far into September if they are planning on using any of the beta feedback for the final product that will be due for a mid October release.

Makes sense?

Wow... wonder what the pre-load will look like for PC players.

It's been rumored that it's a 10gb download for a digital copy and 15gb on disc version, so two discs as well (unless they will compress it really well on a DVD9 with tools that are not available on the XBOX360, or ones that will just take too long to uncompress the data on the console).

didn't really put a dent in CoD share of the shooter market or at all hurt their sales...

Go play MW3 then and stop trolling Battlefield thread.

I think the numbers are going to be much closer this time round they are releasing close to each other, BF3 is taking strides to improve the single player experience, going for authenticity and giving the fans everything they wanted including CoD Elite like features for free with the base product.

MW3 is just more of the same, they havent done much to evolve the series other than throw authenticity out the window and go for the most ridiculous over the top action set peices than a straight to DVD movie. The big Activision vs IW fight and the fact they took away dedicated servers only to re-introduce them is going to hurt them big time.

I watched the MW3 multiplayer trailer and the difference is night and day with BF3, when the littlebird attacks the station the windows just shatter, if that was BF3 the whole front of the building would have been blown to bits, MW3 is playing it safe by tweaking MW2 and rebadging it and i hope that people are going to see straight through them and opt for the better experience (BF3)

Yea, that whole first half of the cod mp trailer felt like they just tried so hard to emphasize on debris/destruction (which was just glass shattering over and over lol).

Pretty weak attempt imo at trying to bait players over.

I wasn't impressed in the least. It's starting to remind me of WoW patches. Nerf this, buff that. Still the same ol sh..

Yeah, I think so too. That's why latest numbers put BF3 at the same number of pre-orders as MW3. From everything we've seen from MW3, BF3 might just kill MW3 sales. It's far fetched but I think it will at least KILL MW3 on PC. There is no question that anyone who has a PC will buy BF3 over MW3 and I'm sure they will sell formidable number of console copies too that might even eclipse or be at lest on par with MW3 sales and this would be huge blow to Activision in general because it would mean they have lost the appeal as they had before.

It's going to be interesting to see what's going to happen, but I really feel that a lot of people are horribly turned off by MW3 looking exactly the same as MW2 but BF3 looking like the most photo-realistic warfare with vehicles and everything.

Those COD Elite like features are free in COD Elite you know.

Can someone give me a guide about the multiplayer?

I mean the Game modes and stuff like this.

And about the Caspian Border thing:

Do everyone start in a random vehicle or you get it by killstreaks or they are on the map and you man them?
