 Yeah, you heard it here first. 

Apparently the beta will definitely be available to people who buy the Limited Edition of MoH, contingent on the beta being released within a year of MoH.

Here are links with info.

Bah, Not PC only. I mean BC2 turned out already on PC so not too bad, but I think it could be better ported.

 Its not even going to be out for over a year. Don't waste your money on that pos game and get a beta key from another source when the beta comes out.

I don't care if they release it for the console kids, but if it is designed ON the console and ported over to PC like BC2, it's not going to be BF3, its going to be BC3.

My fucking old as shit nVidia card has the same amount of memory as a "next gen" console. lol.

And while I'll pre-order a game I know I'm going to buy to get a beta invite, I don't buy garbage to get a beta invite. MoH is pretty terrible. I think I'd rather fuck around with Unreal Tournament instead of that game, and I'd rather jerk off with a rusty razor than play Unreal Tournament. I'm sure that there will be other ways to get a BF3 Beta invite.

Yeah i kinda hated on MOH alot at first when i pre-oredered. it was COD 6, and it brought back all of those bad memories.

it was all too easy to hate, but in my "darkest hour" i've come back to the beta and have been impressed, not by anything more than the format. COD style gunplay in the objective-driven map mode called uhhh i can't remember, something other than "rush" (formerly gold rush).

that's it, that's what i like about the game, and it executes it pretty well. the circle-jerk TDM map style format can go fuck itself till the end of time.

oh, and you have unreal3? shit i've kidnda always wanted to get in on that game, i torrented it back in tha day, and played against bots, and was actually a bit of fun, but that's about it. but it's a tier-3 game at this point like crysis after all of the obvious choices.

i've read that 40 page whitepaper about BF3's integration with all of the DX11 tricks, 1000 point dynamic lighting system etc. so i wouldn't get too hung up on the "console to pc" thing. unless the Xbox720 is coming out in the next 2 years, then this will be a showpiece for the PC. i can't wait to see what fucking videocard imma have to by for that game when it comes out.

great find.

Well, heres a twitter post that at least hints that BF3 will be designed around the PC.

http://twitter.com/repi/status/20028015661

From what I know of consoles, they are based on a 32 bit OS and DX9. If the twitter post is correct, Frostbite 2.0 is being made for the PC.

Maybe. No telling when the game will be out. Maybe a new Xbox with dx11 will be out next year who knows.

imma post the whitepaper i read ages ago concerning frostbite 2.0 and BF3 and DX11 in another thread so hopefully everyone reads it. this information has been out since 2009 i believe, so there's no reason to run around talkin like BF3 will be a console port, when all evidence clearly points otherwise. doesn't mean that there won't be BF3-style ports for consoles, but Frostbite 2.0 is for PC primarily. consoles can't handle it, shit, most PCs can't handle it. BF3 is using Frostbite 2.0 therefore read my other thread.

btw, i know that this doesn't put all rumour to rest, but it does look like all signs point to BF3 being a PC showpiece, probably with console ports to make money. Just because a company wants to make a game for consoles aswell as pc doesn't mean that the game is crap. it means that they want to still be in business next year. you'd have to be a fool like crytek to make a PC only game and expect to even break even in today's gaming climate, it's just the way it is, shouldn't be news to anyone.

The only reason most companies haven't been making money on PC only over the last few years were because they bring out games with over the top PC specs. You do not see Blizzard struggling to sell a PC game. Why? They don't come out with a Crysis lag 70% of PCs type of game. Sounds like it is going to be the same for BF3.

Another example regarding Blizzard games. Most PC gamers don't care about OOOOOHHH look how pretty these new graphics are. Blizzard came out with wow in 2004 with decent looking graphics which ran on most PCs out there and continues to run on most PCs today even with some graphic updates. Now look at Age of Conan which came out as the high graphics game but failed because it took top of the line PCs to run it. If it ran on most PCs like WoW it might still be out there with a big following.
