Battlefield 3 Beta

I've been hounding them non stop to release the info
Their reasoning behind this is:

They do not want to have RSP's announcing that they will be hosting servers like what happened to BC2 with certain ISP's breaking confidentiality clauses and stating that they would host LONG before anything was finalized

My reasoning is this:
If we as RSP's are allowed to announce to our communities the details of future hosting plans etc it benefits the community as well as the publisher
It benefits the community by allowing them to plan their gaming spend in advance (Ie Picking up a copy of this or that game etc)
It boosts pre orders as players are ensured that they will have the capability of playing online and it assures the community that there are gaming portals such as iGame that really do try to provide them with a secure and dependaple service that they can rely on

It benfits the publishers by having pre orders for a territory increase due to those players having the assurance that they will have servers to use and it decreases insecurity amongst players in regards to being unsure as to what is happening and when

Unfortunately, there is red tape and lots of it, to go through, but as stated above we will make an official announcement the second that we are no longer prohibited from doing so

Same here got exams in Oct and November :/ Leave it to UNISA to mess over my exam dates agin *cries* I WANT BF3!!
 
When it's here, it's here. I more excited about the 28th of October. Beta will be cool and all that, but is usually only lasts about a week or two with major issues and could taint your view of the game. Although in the case of MoH the actual game was possibly worse than the beta...

Good points you have there, however stuff can back fire as well. hype about the game is huge at the moment, if they release the BETA without making sure it's 100% how they want it, it can back fire and people might just cancel their pre-orders.
 
I was not talking about releasing the Beta, I was talking about allowing RSP's to speak openly to the community
 
24, Het jy n cool skoonma soos ek? LOL Bwahahahaha

I must spend 20% of my work day trolling BF3 sites in search of new news.

Heard from birdy that BF3 will be at Rage Expo. Well, actually I mailed a well placed source... Hopefully it will be BF3's PC version.

COME ON EA, RELEASE THE BETA!!!
