Battlefield 3 Beta than Call of Duty? See for yourself on September 29th

DICE, and EA have today announced that the Battlefield 3 multiplayer beta will open to all gamers on September 29th, 2011.

The beta is set in Paris on the Operation Metro map, where players work their way from lush parks on the outskirts of the city to a dark, bombed-out metro station, to the vibrant streets around the Paris stock exchange. Two elite tactical units square off in the serie's popular Rush Mode. One side takes the offensive by attacking M-COM stations while the opposing squad defends and protects.

The Battlefield 3 multiplayer beta will be available for the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and PC. Gamers who pre-order the digital PC version of the game at Origin will be granted early access to the beta starting on September 27th, 2011. In addition, all customers that pre-ordered a Limited Edition of Medal of Honor will also receive early access to the beta starting on September 27th 2011.

Gamers in the beta can also log onto Battlelog, the game’s free social media network that allows gamers to communicate and compete with friends, track their stats and share their progress.

Players are also invited to join the EA Gun Club for the latest news, and to receive in-game benefits including access to the M1911 pistol and distinct badges in Battlefield 3. The M1911 pistol will also be available to registered Battlefield veterans.
