I just received an e-mail to be a Battlefield 3 Alpha tester. Any one else get this and know how wide it is going out? I'm stuck at work and can't download it yet. :/

RECOMMENDED WINDOWS PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Installed: Origin
CPU: Quadcore @ 2.0 GHz or faster
RAM: 4GB or more
Hard Drive: 7.25 GB free disk space

DirectX 10 or 11 compatible card with latest drivers (AMD 11.5 or later, nVidia 275.33 or later)

Seems like players will be asked to do surveys, ala SWTOR beta.

I wonder how players are being invited. Am I seriously kicking myself right now for not having made a stupid origin account yet?

I did not have an origin account set up and I still received an invite so that seems to not be a factor.

Also, my veteran status is only a 2 so it doesn't need to be very high to qualify either.

Aint that swell, I was a day 1 supporter of battlefield 1942 and the expansions, but was having tons of account problems with their shitty EADM shit when I first tried to use it for crysis so I never registered my battlefield key.

edit: smh, can't even register my retail launch copy on eadm or origin or whatever it's called nowadays.
Worthless pos service.

Veteran is all BF games afaik, and you should be able to add other EA accounts to your main one, it's covered in the FAQ.

Origin accounts don't matter. All EA accounts will be Origin accounts eventually, anyway.

I'd be in the dick
I assume this is PC only? I just have a Macbook so I'll give my code away if I get in and it's not on PS3. I have Veteran status, gun club, etc so I think I have a shot.

Yeah, same here.

Sure, we have BETA access, but of course you'd never give your paying customers earlier access into the ALPHA. ty EA

If you've ever had to register an EA game (most likely battlefield) then chances are you have an Origin account already. My EA account that I was forced to make for BF:BC2 automatically became my origin account.

Veteran status is number of eligible battlefield games minus one.

For example: you have registered BF1942, BF: Vietnam, and Battlefield 2. 3-1=veteran status 2.

Highest possible level right now is 8.

Eh. I only have 3. :(

I routinely see people over 10 and I know for a fact I saw a 15 last week. Pretty sure they get this high by downloading all the old demos + play4free + heroes titles.

Origin is just the old ea.com with a facelift and a new name. EA account = Origin Account.

Anyone else getting technical difficulties on the Veteran's website? All this prompted me to register my 1942, Vietnam, and 2142 keys (though the account on that last one might be tough).

This is so lame. I bought stupid MoH for absolutely no reason at all. I'm just glad it only cost me $15.

yeah ive had issues trying to register 1943 and BC2 because of some issue preventing me from linking my XBL gamertag to my EA account. Was able to register BF Heroes just fine though.
