I would love to play it, but I'm not going to pre-order just so I can try the beta.

Sad face,

currently tons of people (including me) crashes to desktop on the server browser so.. we are waiting for the issue to be resolved.

Downloading the beta through a torrent right now and getting 700kb/s so I would use that since most of the HTTP sites are getting hammered.

Here's a post I made awhile ago from my impressions of the PS3 beta:

I have been playing the PS3 beta and must admit that this is FINALLY a real battlefield game. I'll be getting the PC version because of the enhancements and controls but would highly urge any old school battlefield fan to keep an eye on that game regardless of the platform. DICE is finally returning to form and is actually developing the game to use the strengths of each platform.

DirectX11 support
3D vision support
32 players online
Server admin configurable settings - closest to mod support we get :(
Squad play expanded (would love if this was the commander role for PC)

The game is basically BF3 but without jets and boats which is just fine by me. Good times and see you online!

** Also you DO NOT have to pre-order to get a beta key, they are offering some at the battlefield blog and a 'cautious' google search will get you to what you need if you want **

Bah, it keeps telling me that the beta key registration failed....

Never understood why CoD turned into such a huge hit, i've always thought of it as "BF without the vehicles", which for me is less fun, and why it was such a "huge novelty" when there was BF around for years doing the same and more, except for the single player (which lasts 5 hours, I don't care how awesome it is, 5 hours is ridiculous).

I'm glad to see Battlefield higher, can't wait for Battlefield 3!

Any PC players try the beta (don't know when it starts). I really want to hear some feedback, especially on how the choppers feel (sucked at the air planes in 43', but I was one of the decent pilots on Bad Company 1).

I'm actually excited about getting on transport choppers and parachuting down again =D

My Battlefield experience began with Modern Combat on the PS2, and every iteration gets rid of every frustration I had with that game, while expanding on the things I loved. I really do wish I could play the real Battlefield experience... too bad I don't have a decent gaming PC.

 

Modern Combat on PS2 was terrible, I am amazed it is what got you hooked into Battlefield.  I been playing since 1942.

Everything is better when you're 12-14 XD

 

Actually, I think it was the first time I ever actually played a FPS

What, so it will have air vehicles? I heard BC2 would only have ground vehicles (while Battlefield 3 would get air). That's awesome even if it's just helis.

 

It is only missing jets, even the first Bad Company had choppers (attack only).  This one has attack choppers as well as transport/black hawks.

On Oasis, the MEC team did get that really fucking sweet chopper with the guns switch (the rapid small gun being controlled by the pilot, and the main missles by the co-pilot). I wished they used that fucking chopper more, since it looked sweet and was absolutely deadly.
