Battlefield 3 PC Beta Ready, Waiting on Microsoft & Sony

According to Planete-Battlefield.fr (unrelated to us), KM Kusa (French Community Manager) said the PC beta is ready, but now they are working with Microsoft and Sony to "accelerate preparations" - Planet Battlefield

inb4 Xbox 360 beta delay because microsoft likes cod and not bf.

[iamnsuperman]

Interesting lets hope the process is quick

Off topic but EC10 why report something as a duplicate when this came about 6 minutes before. A little sad don't you think

[eclectified]

I don't quite understand why they can't just go ahead with the PC beta and allow themselves more testing time for that platform. Are they contractually obligated to simultaneous beta or something?

[SilentNegotiator]

Maybe Microsoft would give them problems if they didn't....

If they hurry my prediction would be right. "Sometime between now and the 19th of September."

[lociefer]

dang it , it says sony / ms take about 2 weeks to check the demos and stuff, cant wait that long :((

[JBSleek]

I think this is gonna be more of a "preview" than a "beta" but you never know.

PC - "beta gogogogogogo!!!!"
Consoles - "hang on, we gotta approve that first..."
PC - :( "what happened to lead platform?"

[Organization XII]

Don't you worry mate

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Tell us the story again of how PCs won the PCvsConsole war!"

"Well kids, it all started with a game called Battlefield 3..."

[Apollyn]

That made me laugh....
Bubs

Ahh still awesome

[DigitalxPiracy]

WTF. Consoles holding PC back in yet another regard, fml.

Edit: Didn't see the above because it was hidden for trolling lol. I guess that will be my fate as well. :)

[Plagasx]

I lol'd.

[theonlylolking]

It is most likely M$. They take forever to approve anything.

[AAWELLS09]

Im pretty sure i read Sony and MS.

[Halochampian]

It's protocol people. MS and Sony have to make sure the product will not cause their systems to brake.

So they have to do internal testing of their own.

Though I wish it didnt have to hold back the PC beta :/

[AzaziL]

Why wait for consoles, just get it on already and let the others catch up.

[Corax]

That would be conflicting with the MoH:LE owners who was promised the beta two days before the open beta.

[hadriker]

They can still get it 2 days earlier relative to their platform, but they will still wait, which means If they had just submitted it, the best we can hope for is the week of the 26th. lets hope they submitted it to xbox/ps a bit earlier

[Corax]

That would make sense but still conflicts with what they said and wouldn't make sense to release one date then the other. I like how DICE is treating everyone equal.

[Agent_hitman]

MS priority is MW3m because if they ignore it, activison will get angry

[qzp]

DICE y u no release for pc ლ(ಠ益ಠლ

[HAF912]

should just release pc version now. Console people live in 2005 anyway, they wont notice a thing.

[YonkouLuffy]

Guess we have to wait to get our hands on the beta. I want to try it out and see if Battlefield 3 is going to be as good as it seems. My PC can't handle the game so it will have to do on my PS3. I wish I had a high end PC to play it on.

[artdafoo]

I'm looking into my crystal ball and waiiiite I seeeeeee a deelay for 360........yeeees, kinda like MOH beta. 360 will have to wait 24-48 hrs after PS3 and PC users.

[NarooN]

Even though I'm looking forward to playing the beta on PS3 before I finish building my new gaming rig, it's dumb how they didn't put it out on PC just because of some lame-ass promise to MoH LE owners.

[Sheikah]

Wouldn't mind terribly if they hurried the process along a li'l bit

[Bladesfist]

You guys saying you see a delay for 360 because of COD. Im seeing a delay on PC because of both consoles or maybe I read sony & microsoft wrong. Anyway release for PC please, The consoles can catch up :)
