Been wondering how you can get on the upcoming Battlefield 3 Open Beta. Well it’s pretty easy; since it’s an open beta it will be as simple as downloading and installing it. However, there is a little more to it than that.
DICE has published a set of frequently asked questions over on the Battlefield Blog.
