If you bought MOH and want 48 hour early access, you'll need the MOH disc to play the BF3 beta.
quote:
Even though the Battlefield 3 beta is waiting on Sony and Microsoft for approval, you'll still need your disc. Twitter user @CodyReed asked the official Battlefield twitter how exactly users will access the BF3 beta early with their MoH:LE copy. The official answer is yes, console players will need their discs to get into the beta before everyone else. So if you're a console player and eagerly awaiting to get into the Battlefield 3 beta, we suggest that you find your disc!
I think you may see the beta this weekend, all they're waiting for is Microsoft and Sony to authorise the console versions.

Also, part 2 of the guillotine trailer is tomorrow as it says on the video. People are assuming it's part 2 of the trailer anyway, as it says to be continued or something like that. For all anyone knows that could be the start of the beta too, would make sense being a Friday. Especially with the news of the PC beta being ready now.

I really don't know if I should buy an overclokced bundle from Scan or just ring them up and get them to build something from scratch, the overclocked bundles are very well priced though.

well my gear is all gaming/overclocking stuff. the cpu i believe can be overclocked from 2.9 to 4.2 if you have a watercooled setup like mine. thats per core mind. the graphics card, ram and mb can all be clocked too very easily.
if my machine runs the beta quick just get the same system as mine with better cards etc. shouldnt cost more than 4/500 + cards now.

True, could always do that. Cards will be a big issue with this game, hence why all the preview vids on PC have been on a rig running 2 £500+ cards, not everyone will be able to afford that.

for components the one at 550.99 but you could get it cheaper to build yourself. 4.7ghz per core is good tho i havent clocked mine so its still running 2.9ghz and its not struggled on much if anything.
crysis 2 in 1920x1080 in full everything runs fast 100+ fps but drop dx11 and it starts to get choppy, 30/40fps but nothing is clocked at all.

No very short cam copy of the guillotine mission, horrible console player at the controls. The city scape looks amazing though. Best just waiting for the official release tomorrow.

I've used Scan for 5 years, not had one problem and I've always found their customer service to be excellent.
I'll still be ''building'' it, as them bundles don't come already built. You just buy them as a bundle. Supposedly works out cheaper. No different to me buying a bundle to me buying parts seperate. Scan also do very good deals on bundles on their Today Only page.

If you are familiar with this game mode from Battlefield: Bad Company 2, you might want to know we are refining it for Battlefield 3 in a number of ways, based on player feedback. Some of the gameplay tweaks we are bringing to Rush are:
* You cannot use explosives or shoot at the M-COM to take it out. Only arm and disarm.
* If the attacking team arms the M-COM but runs out of tickets, the match will continue until the M-COM detonates or defenders disarm it
* If the defenders start disarming an M-COM just before it’s about to blow, the explosion is prevented until the disarm is accomplished. If the defender gets killed during the disarm process, the M-COM will instantly blow
Excellent
Hate it when people were using anti tank mines to destroy the m-coms. Like the idea of still being able to disarm it while its very close to blowing too
