    According to this article, the beta will become open on September 11th. All terrorism aside, I'm even more excited. I didn't think it was that close. And apparently if you have Medal of Honor or an Origin account you can get in the beta early.

    Man Security have you been stalking me today lol? This is the second question of mine today that you have answered almost instantly! OT: You sir just made my day! For some reason I had it in my head that it would be late September, knowing that it is that much closer is great!

    I've been waiting for the beta to help get me through the days until the big releases. Good to know it's coming sooner rather than later.

    I guess I don't read enough about games, because the article that you supplied me says that it is a open beta? I was under the impression that you had to purchase MOH to play the beta? I take it this has changed?

    So have any of you read anything about how they are going to implement jets on console? For PC it makes since, because there are 64 players, but for console I just don't see how it would work. And if they do pull it off, it would never be as cool as PC. The only reason I ask is because I am lame, and only play console. I guess my fear is that the games could end up being vehicle heavy, leaving little to no foot soldiers.

    Same here and Im kinda wondering the same thing. 32 players is still pretty hectic though (BF:BC2) so it could work.

    Me being the Battlefield fan I am, and also making pretty good money at work. I have both the PC, and 360 version of Battlefield 3 pre-ordered... I'm getting the PC version all pretty much because of the huge 64 player battles and I know a few people I can play it with. Then I'm also getting the 360 version of Battlefield 3 so I can play with my co-workers, and the Xbox Live friends I have.

    See that is the problem though. On console it was never 32 players, it was only 24. If BF3 had 32 players, and I know that it does not, it would make adding Jets a little easier to balance. Yet as it stands, console will only support 24 players, so I am curious how Jets will play out. Either way I can not wait for this game to be out, because Dice knows how to make great games!

    Has 9/11 been confirmed for release of the beta? I have googled the crap out of it, and all I can find is speculations. Although it could be that I suck at finding things.

    That's old. They're now speculating that the beta will start on the 27th.

    I was playing last night and was thinking the same thing. I just can't wait till BF3 comes out and there are consistently full lobbies again. I just hope that BF3 does not die out as fast as Bad company 2 did on the console. It is so hard to find a full game of rush or conquest anymore :(
