Open beta starts on the 29th, early access on the 27th.

Sadly though it's only one map, and its a rush map, which really isn't what Battlefield 3 is about.

But anyways, whose going to playing?

Yea but even the BC2 beta had a helicopter in it. Battlefield 3's main feature is the massive 64 player vehicle combat, and IMO its the best feature. Yet they chose to use a small 32 player, heavily imbalanced rush map. And most probably because they don't want the PC beta putting the consoles beta's to shame.

I played the alpha testing on it, That was still only one map - Metro, in the rush format.
It really wasnt imbalanced at-all, what makes you say this? Rush format yeah, it may not be the "original" battlefield style, but its a new gamemode brought forward from Badcompany, and playing quite a few hours worth of badcompany, i prefered rush maps to any other conquest / deathmatch ect, its just so much more fast pace and much more exciting to play, you still had vehicles in it!
Bearing in mind this is only the beta test and not the full game, your just gonna have to wait till the 25th to play 64player maps, and even then your still going to be in a queue of people on the airfield, waiting for a plane / hele. As your not the only one who wants to fly them!

The beta is pretty much gonna expand what we have been playing on with the alpha testing, and i can assure you, its gonna be awesome. As the alpha testing was alot of fun, even with no vehicles and in the rush format.
Cant wait :D, pre-ordered bf3 aswell. :x

I played for about 24 hours game time during the alpha, and for all those hours of playing metro I only ever saw the end stage of the map 4 times. And I NEVER saw the attacking team win. The map has such a defenders advantage. Everyone who has played it agree's.

The only up side to this beta is the fact that they have made changes to the layout of the map. But they will have to be some pretty hefty changed to make the map balanced.

Oh, and don't be fooled by the name "Beta test". This is pretty much only a demo. If there is going to be any bugs in this game it's going to be in conquest on 64 player maps. Not in the game mode and map we already tested for a week.

According to Zh1nt0 in this post, we may get to see Caspian Border in the beta, which would be amazing.
