Hello folks! I´ve been getting many questions on twitter regarding the Alpha Trial and also the upcoming beta which was announced at E3 to be in September.

It´s amazing that so many people want to share their experience and are so keen on playing Battlefield 3.

Here are som questions and answers you might find useful :

How can I get into the Alpha Trial?
It is a highly tech focused test period where the main purpose is to do a number of server related tests in preparation for game launch requiring a set amount of players online to ensure the final experience is as much fun and easy as possible.

Is this the Beta promised to buyers of Medal of Honor: Limited Edition?
No, this is an Alpha Trial, meaning this software is still not at the "Beta" development milestone. The Open Beta will start in September. The exact date for when Medal of Honor: Limited Edition players can join the Beta will be announced at a later date.

Can I join the Battlefield 3 Closed Alpha Trial?
The Alpha is a closed test and by invitation only. If you'd like to have a chance to be called upon make sure to register for our newsletter and ensure your Veteran status is up to date.
We are also not giving away keys to the Alpha Trial on any of our social networking platforms.

Recently a Medal of Honor: Limited Edition Beta newsletter went out to users. What is that all about?
Well, that newsletter says you are entitled to play the beta in September. It is however not a ticket or a code. If you purchased a copy of Medal of Honor with the Battlefield 3 Beta sticker on it, you are eligible for the Beta. If you have not received the newsletter, make sure you opt in on your EA Profile to receive them. Also, if you haven´t received the newsletter and own a copy of Medal of Honor: Limited edition, you are eligible to play in the beta.*

You should be able to just register here - not sure if it needs you to already be an EA member etc, but it worked for me with no invite.

I do already have an origin account so maybe that's a prerequisite?

I have an Origin account aswell but it didn't like me lol, pretty sure they must enable something on there end to allow people access :'( Just need to wait till the beta comes out then

[adeingolf]

I didnt have an Origin account, but have BF and BFBC for Xbox 360, so may be linked to that?

[Red Phoenix]

Yeah, I've had a look about, if you have BFBC and are ranked Veteran 2 or above you are eligible for BF3 beta I unfortunatly was a cod bitch lol enjoy the Alpha mate

[ashleywalls]

I've got a code that I'm not likely to use as I don't get much time for PC gaming anymore, let me know if you want it Red Phoenix.
