Battlefield 3 Beta release date announced

DICE have just announced that the long awaited Battlefield 3 Beta will be available to download for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on 29th September, with those who purchased the Special Edition of Medal of Honor, or who have pre-ordered Battlefield 3 via EA’s online store, Origin, getting earlier access on 27th September. The confirmed map that will be available is the Operation Metro level, set in Paris, with Rush being the featured game mode.

All the previews and videos that have been shown of the game look awe inspiring, and with Battlefield: Bad Company 2 being our favourite shooter from last year, we have high hopes for Battlefield 3; and will have our trigger fingers itching to get stuck in come the 29th.

I've been addicted to gaming since my parents bought an Atari console way back in the 70's. I progressed to the iconic Speccy, Amiga, and all the Playstation platforms. Having seen games evolve from single pixel bat and ball, to HD constructed environments, gaming has changed much from my early years. Having defeated the rock hard R-Type on the Speccy, the biggest challenge I've faced so far is putting up with the hordes of American teens spouting abuse in the current generation of consoles, noob indeed!
