First I heard you don't need the MoH tier1 disc to play the early beta.. but yesterday I heard that you still need the disc.. Only the code wont be enough.
I can do without the early access cause I don't have the disc anymore. But if only the code is needed, then rock on.

More news!
Yesterday, Battlefield Community Manager, Daniel 'zh1nt0' Matros held a Battlefield 3 beta Q&A in Teamspeak.
Unfortunately it was mostly in German, but EA UK forum members w1q3d posted a summarized list. An English Q&A is promised as well.
We've corrected the article for grammar and took out some answers that were not too clear.
2-3 GB beta client
Netcode is totally new
Battlelog can be updated without patching the game so we can get new stuff faster
No level limit @ beta
Caspian Border is not the biggest map
Next 1-3 weeks will be talking about new maps
Auto heal on all vehicles after 10-15sec
Can't join as a squad if team is full so Battlelog groups don't get split
No weather + time changing in game
No jet bombs
Battlelog application for iPhone
You can use 3 screens if you have enough graphic power
E-sports is a focus for BF3
No comment for BattleRecorder
Battlelog will unlock beta on client so no keys for pre-order if you have origin order + Medal of Honor
Unlocks are for weapons not for classes. You can't unlock red dot on gun1 and use it on gun 2
Pre-load info will come in a few days
Metro got changed that' why they want to test balance again
You can not change the posters in game to make clan publicity
You have more then 1 knife animation. On the ground you can NOT counter knife

Will be some more Q&A for English people "soon"
DICE released the official Battlefield 3 beta start today today, which will be September 27th for Origin pre-orders / Medal of Honor: Limited Edition users and open to everyone on September 29th. The map will be Operation Metro on Rush just like the Alpha trial. The open beta will end October 10th.
What are the dates for the beta?
The open beta starts September 29th on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. Those that have already pre-ordered the PC digital download version of battlefield 3 through origin or own the limited/tier 1 edition of medal of honor for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 or PC, will have early access starting on September 27th. The open beta ends on October 10th.
Where do I get the beta?
On Playstation 3, the Beta will appear automatically on the Playstation Network Store. On Xbox 360, it will automatically appear on Xbox Live Marketplace. On PC, it will automatically appear in the Origin application's demo page.
How do I install the beta?
On console, you simply download the beta and play. On PC, you first install the origin client found on www.origin.com/download and then install the beta from within the origin client. More details will be available here before the beta starts.
Is Origin required to play the beta?
Origin is not required to play on xbox 360 or playstation 3. For PC, origin will be used to distribute the beta installation and run the game and therefore necessary to play.

Downloaded bf3 beta... just got home from work. gonna hop on and rape some face with southie, black hawk and embers in a bit. Will post review later.
i had MOH LE back when it first came out but sold it. I had the code and all, used it, and never got a damn e-mail or whatever involving BF3... fuck EA.
Southie says a lot of people still haven't gotten their codes. Check your emailz, thats where my code came this morning around 11am. If not, email EA, tell em you had it and used the code and they'll prolly give you a beta key
Just played my first game. Fucking incredible. I don't even know why yet, it feels better. Guns feel/sound better, animations are smooth and the graphics are crisp like a fresh apple. Oct 25th needs to be here tomorrow.
If I don't have it by tomorrow, I'll send 'em an e-mail. Or if I don't get it by tomorrow I'll just wait, since it's supposed to come out for everyone on the 29th anyways lol
