BF3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
On September 29th, 2011 in News
Soon the Battlefield 3 beta won’t just be available to those who pre-ordered it on Origin, but will expand to an open beta, meaning many, many more players will join. Here are the times, or rather, the “launch window” for the Battlefield 3 open beta (which are nearly the same as the times for the 48 early access beta):
- US Pacific time: 6 AM – 8 AM
- US Eastern time: 9 AM – 11 AM
- Europe: 3 PM – 5 PM
- Australia (AEST): 11 PM – 13 PM
- Japan: 10 PM -12 PM JST
Keep in mind that the launch times are not final, and that the beta might be delayed (as was the case for many players a few days ago). Heck, if we’re lucky, it might even be released earlier 
UPDATE: The open beta is now live on all platforms. Enjoy!
XD at last!!!

BF3 HERE I COME!
oooooo I CANT WAIT!
i thought i was gonna be able to play the beta, but F***ING PSN IS DOWN!!!
never mind, back up again
Wow! As soon as i get home from school, i’ll download it.
okay just one more hour (45 mins)
DD
can’t waiiiiiiit!!!!
Can I quicscope in the game like in callofduty? because i will record my gameplays with me quicscopeing i hope there is because i like quicscope
trolololol?
my gt is xXqUicScoPe13Xx add me up bro and maybe we can play together and ill put up our vids on youtube, and i will use the camera from my ipod touch do you think it will be good?
ahh, more newbies to kill with my ump45, don’t try to hide in the dark because I just unlocked my IRNV scope and flashlight :3
Wait am i already a level 40? yup i told you my Ezio eggs and i would rape
Qs is for noobs.
Yes, u can Qs in Bf, but its harder on pc, easy on Console.
If u have luck, u can noscope somebody.
Aside from the fact that this person is almost certainly trolling, it’s been entirely possible to quickscope in all the battlefield games, and basically any game that has sniper rifles.
yeh, it’s just that most of us have enough sense not to waste our time quickscoping and we have therefore retained our sanity
We can all tell you are a long time battlefield fan and probably a frequent commenter. Reveal yourself!
quick scoping is for faggots stick to mw2 you pussy
hope EA can actually handle it this time
God I hope those times are right.
Looks like America is sucking EA´s dick again and every other continent is thrown to the sides.
trololol, the times are just this way because it will be downloaded in the US more than anywhere else and that time is the least active time in the US so the servers won’t crash or anything.
Are you serious? -_-
I don’t know where you’re from but you obviously think you are the centre of the universe.
Ever occurred to you that different places in the world are a different time to others?
Currently its 3:41PM where I am and 2:20AM in New York (America)
um, how about the fact that EA’s HQ is in Redwood City, California (USA)? And that DICE has been owned by EA since 2006?
because the USA is the best country in the WORLD
Do we (Closed Beta players) have to update or something?
By the way, I was lucky and made some Caspian Border Jet Gameplay

Ah, is the Australian time meant to be 11pm-1am? As well as the Japan time meaning to be 12am instead of 12pm?
just noticed it says 13 pm haha
Thank you BF3blog. This could not have come at a more perfect time. I actually just opened the world clock to see when it would be open in NZ and thought “I wonder if BF3Blog has the times…”
And It was the top story. Thank-you heaps.
Hey bro.. I was in the closed beta, It was released 1am on the 28th. It took roughly 45mins to download from Origin. So if things havent changed much for the open beta im guessing you will be playing it by 2am. Good luck bro, see you on the Battlefield… Oh and GO THE WARRIORS!!!!
GO THE WARRIORS!!! WOOOOO!!!!
thanks for the info bro, it’s much appreciated.
omg cant fcking wait!!
It’s going to be a noobfest all over again.
Every gun has 17-20 attachments, unlocking one every ten kills. The flashlight will piss you off when you cant shoot its wielder, and get you lots of close range kills with the blinding effect (someone is going to have a seizure from this game).
Just hope you don’t get a friendly fire on server. Trust me though, you will. All the servers with it off are always full. If you get tk’d or see a tk happen just revive the guy or get a teammate to, he will most likely pay you back and when everyone starts doing this you can get some very nice medic chains going. It seems to happen at the worst moments, most usually when you’re going for a knife kill. Also, 70% of people will be playing assault and you’ll feel like you’re getting insta-killed by automatics. Look at your health percentage when you get shot, you will be a lot closer to dying than it looks on the screen. Assault under-mounted grenade launchers are severely nuked, Knifing is nuked, rocket launchers are improved but nuked basically everything is perfect
lastly, the graphics look far better than you have ever seen in a video and it very much resembles a gritty Crysis 1, but runs very fast. Get ready to play the fps to end all fps(s).
sounds like you just got off a loosing team on bc2,haha.Id hate to say i agree with you but its likely to happen except the medic chain due to optional revives.but ya there will be people spamming the “enter jet” button and stuff like that.All that stuff about guns idk they might re-power everything in full game,but then people will just find another way to annoy everyone else.
would love to tell you the info on servers and the game, but the only thing im pretty much allowed to say is “I’m in the beta”… (NDA is a B****….)
But, hopefully you’ll find out soon enuff =D
THANK YOU! FOR POSTING THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!
Mmmm another wave of new players, another wave of the same posts about the same bugs
and more in game complainers/battlelog ragers
lord help us
Looks like I will be up until midnight then
Aww, got to download it at night. Can’t do it on the day. DAMN YOU MY SLOW INTERNET!
Omg the anticipation is killing me! I want to own with the jets and dominate the tanks already! I want to set the record for headshots in a round and raise my accuracy. Everytime i close my eyes, i see the caspian border map. Darn it BF3 you have kept me awake all night and i have school in the morning! Why cant you just give EVERYONE THE FLIPPIN BETA ALREADY?!!!
Trololol nerd!!! Everybody is eager, but you needa calm the feck down and stop geeking up the place.
Rofl’d
Fucksakes, im gonna have to wait till late at night to download, and the internet is shit as at night!!!
i posted this before but http://us.playstation.com/support/answer/index.htm?a_id=2185 yea im in the eastern time too
fuck you sony!!!!
Hi my name is Jamal from Saudi, what time will it be available here in my country? by the way I will play it on ps3.
Hi Jamal, I have a question, do they allow women to play videogames in your country?
FUCKING LOL!!! By far the funniest response i’ve seen today.
“Hi Jamal, I have a question, do they allow women to play videogames in your country?” – CARTOON OF DUTY
I think a bigger question would be can they vote or drive a car in said country? one arab country (can’t think of the name of it) just voted to give women the right to vote, it doesn’t take effect for another 3 years…..
When you have no voice, things will not change. If people tune out your voice, other methods are needed. non-violent perferably…
Ill hopefully download it before I go to work for a bit, then I’ll race home as fast as possible and turn the glorious surround sound up in volume AND bass
Hopefully the servers won’t have too many issues for the people who are downloading. gotta remember the beta had a “set” number of people. since this is going to be now an “open” beta, everyone and there mother can download it! O_O
just hoping no one get’s shaft’d by the EA download servers.
on a side note, I would kinda LOL from the servers pretty much being Dos’ed from the download requests… but I would still feel sorry for the end user(s) putting up with waiting, I have felt that pain and it is NOT fun!
Enjoy the beta as the rest of us have =D
Woohoo! See you on the Battlefield!
