1234445 2011-09-29 10:53:00 For anyone waiting to get the Beta for 360. It's out now, but the marketplace hasn't updated yet. Log onto your Xbox.com profile, search for it and add it to your download queue. Turn on Xbox and it will be downloading. Currently at 20%, in before the rush of thousands downloading it.

edit: according to another forum it might actually be on the Marketplace now, cbf looking. If it's not there just do what I said above (if you want to start downloading it now that is)

1234446 2011-09-29 11:02:00 Yo, battlefield beta out 29th, it's the 30th and it ain't out :( CaptainVincent (76)
1234447 2011-09-29 20:27:00 Don't even bother with it. Played it last night, well tried to play it.

First game, everyone had horrible lag (not just me) you'd move 5 feet and be teleported back.

Second game, no connection

Third game, no one could move. Everyone was stuck.

Forth - thirteenth game, connection to EA was lost.

Gave up there. Haven't tried today but I've heard the servers are down. I'm a huge BF3 fan, but would not expect something like this 1 month out.

1234448 2011-09-29 21:06:00 Its exactly what should be expected during beta testing 1 month out.

You can expect the servers to go down multiple times as they configure them to suit.





Required PC specs are lowish.

1234450 2011-09-29 21:14:00 From what I hear the beta's been having connection issues on all platforms. Seems like it's an actual beta this time and not a glorified demo like most online multiplayer 'betas' are!

Haven't had a chance to play yet, gonna give it a try tonight.

1234452 2011-09-29 23:50:00 "As many of you know right now consoles, especially the Xbox 360 are having connection issues with the Battlefield 3 open beta. The developers and support staff are moving quickly to fix these issues. Sony's Playstation Network did have maintenance earlier, but those fixes have been integrated. The Xbox live network is still having connection issues, we'll have more updates on the Battlefield 3 open beta as it comes in." Agent_24 (57)

I'd agree with that but compared to other games when the 8800GT is the recommended gfx card...

Compared to other games its quite high imo


Yo, battlefield beta out 29th, it's the 30th and it ain't out :(
