Yes! The Battlefield 3 beta is happening and everyone’s invited. Paaaaartaaaay! Actually, hang on. Not everyone’s invited. At least, not yet. If you pre-ordered a copy of the game via EA’s digital distribution service, Origin, then you’re invited right now. And if you purchased a copy of Medal of Honor Limited Edition then you’re also invited right now. But if you failed to do either of these things, you are not invited right now.
