The Battlefield 3 beta has become DICE’s most played beta to date. In a blogpost from Karl Magnus Troedsson, the General Manager at DICE admits that the company is seeing “6 times the number of simultaneous players in the Battlefield 3 Open Beta compared to the Beta for Battlefield: Bad Company 2.” This goes to show how effective Battlefield 3’s marketing campaign has been. There is obviously a lot of excitement surrounding this game.
Troedsson was also adamant in saying that the beta is in no way representative of the final product. He explained that the build in the beta is actually an early build of the technology currently installed in the game. “We had to do this in order to have as many people testing as possible, in order to ensure a top quality experience when the game is released,” Troedsson explained.
The Battlefield 3 beta is currently available and ends on October 10th. Battlefield 3 is slated for an October 25th release date on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
