Battlefield 3 BETA

The Battlefield 3 beta is now live for players who have preordered the game via Origin or have bought Medal of Honor on the PC. Codes have been sent, the servers are getting slammed, and those of us with access have 48 hours to play the game before the beta opens to all comers.

Judging by the reaction on Twitter, there are swarms of gamers descending upon EA's servers, and they've already begun to strain under the load. During my first few minutes with the game, I had an error message, but I was able to join a game on my second attempt. Others are having similar experiences, indicating that, so far at least, Origin seems to be up to the challenge. We'll see how much worse it gets as gamers get home from work and begin to attack the servers en masse.
