Battlefield 3 Beta

EA and DICE have finally given up the details for the upcoming Battlefield 3 beta. The open beta will begin on September 29, and will feature the "Rush" game mode on the Operation Metro map. The beta will end on October 10.If you've preordered the game via Origin, or if you own the Tier 1 edition of Medal of Honor, you will be e-mailed with instructions telling you how to access the beta on September 27, giving you an extra 48 hours of playtime. On the PlayStation 3, the beta will simply appear for download on September 27, with no further action needed.First introduced in Battlefield: Bad Company, Rush has now made its way to the heart of the Battlefield series in Battlefield 3. An objective based mode, the attackers have to arm and detonate pairs of M-COM stations in each area of the map to unlock the next area and the next pair of M-COM stations. While defenders have an unlimited amount of spawn tickets, attackers only get new tickets every time they destroy a pair of M-COMs. If all M-COM stations on the entire map are destroyed, the attackers are declared the winning team. If the defenders manage to deplete the attacker's tickets to zero (by killing them), the defenders are declared the winners.
