Doubt it has anything to do to certification, as it's already been passed: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/974328-official-battlefield-3/page__view__findpost__p__594318404

It was due to certification, PC Beta was ready they were just waiting for console cert before they could move ahead.

The alpha url for BF3 was http://bf3alpha.battlefield.com, http://bf3beta.battlefield.com has just appeared today and it looks like Apache has only just been set up, Italian Battlefield Facebook page are teasing that some news is coming tomorrow that everyone has been waiting for, so it looks like the beta is due this week.

My guess is weekend for early access (MOH:LE and Alpha testers) and then monday onwards for open beta.

Did you read the post that I linked? "stating that the beta has passed certification for all three platforms".

And I don't remember any bf3alpha.battlefield.com. I used http://battlelog.battlefield.com/ to play the alpha.

Site has been taken down; visitors to the bf3beta.battlefield.com are presented with the following error:

EA/DICE seems to be very active; beta launch is imminent now... :shiftyninja:

I place my bet on Sept 27th for early 48hr access then Sept 29th being available to everyone. Gamespot is holding an exclusive BF3 Tournament on the 26th that will be streamed so it wouldn't be released before then.

They can **** off, we already had Op Metro and Rush mode, Caspian Border on conquest mode was ready enough for a trade show then it should have been ready for Beta.

I wanted to get a feel for conquest mode.

So a week today for people who pre-ordered or have moh.

Op-Metro is a **** map, I was expecting Caspian. I thought this was suppose to be a true BF game? I don't want to play Rush, with no vehicles.

Guess I was right they release it only 24-48 hours left of September. What a waste of time and bandwidth lol specially since only lasts a week which ends on 10th :blink: .
