Jaco, if you do not have a key I will allocate one to you, in recognition to your efforts, you've really been doing a lot to keep everyone informed, keep it up

Although this might make you Race to download the Beta instead of doing the informing :P

Lol Xero, I have an Medal of Honor LE, so I have my early access.

Interesting to see:

If one can change from DX10/11 (with the avalible hardware, I have a GTX 560 + Windows 7 can I switch from DX10 to 11?)
Also, the graphical differences between DX11 and DX10 and the performance impact.

Glordit, I think you'll be stuck on DX11 by virtue of your hardware. (now I'm jealous!)
 
I'm sad the beta is only 32 players. Can't wait for 64 players. I'll even play conquest for that (I love Rush mode).
 
4 days to go till closed Beta kicks off. Better get enought sleep over the next few evenings and tell BFBC2 that there is a new baby in the house and that the baby will be getting a lot of attention now.
 
I wonder if we will see some of the BC2 server disappear in the next few days as they get prepped for BF3

1.5 million BF3 preorders means there will be a lot of BF3 beta players
