Hey guys! It's been a while!

I was selected for Alpha Testing BF3 and have been having a ton of fun, I can't say much because of the NDA but if there are any other GC'ers that are in the Test I'd love to play with you!

As soon as the NDA is lifted I'll be sure to post all the screens, vids, and impressions I have for you guys too.

My Origin ID is DareitusAK for anyone in the test.

See ya on the Battlefield!

is selection random or did you apply and then get chosen?

I'm thinking random cause I never applied for anything special.

Just received my invitation and will be downloading later today when I can get the highest bandwidth.

I’ll be so happy to join you all in the game as soon as I’m organized.
I’ve been waiting for this game for a long time and looking forward to this comeback.
I even have my SIG ready.lol

From what I hear selection was mostly random. They started with a pool of known testers, and as the test went on (We've been playing for about 2 weeks now) they've added more and more servers and players, apparently now they are pulling invites with any email associated with a Battlefield or MOH purchase, so ANYONE could get in.

Only lasts till the 1st though.

You have to have EA Origin to play, (This is confirmed as only being for the Alpha, you'll be able to get the game elsewhere when it's released) and your EA Origin SN is also your SN for the Alpha testing.

I play every night from 8-11EST at the very least since the test came out, so you can find me on then, and sporadically throughout the day.

I am going to sit in the TS Channel indefinately if any of you guys get on, I'd love to play with you all again!

-Humanspeedbump (I'll change my name to Dareitus officially when we get GC BF3 off the ground)

My Origin ID again is DareitusAK (I also own Dareitus but he wasnt invited to the Alpha :p)

I think that's for beta

btw it a got a bit warm around the heart area when I saw so many vets say they will be back to GC for BF3.

Thanks! If I haven't taken Dareitus over with a alt-account on here already I'd love to use that as my name.

Humanspeedbump was only ever used on GC, and as much as I love it stat tracking and what not will be on Dareitus, and I use that for most every other game now.

not even playing, apparently you have to install beta video card drivers if you get the error I've been getting to fix it and I'm not one for installing drivers that aren't final versions.

Oh I've heard of that. Tough call.

Tonight's the last night of the alpha! (Well, depending on your time zone you might get to play tomorrow night)
But tonight's the last night of the alpha!

I'll be on from 8EST till my eyes bleed, and I'll be in the =GC= Teamspeak too.

from the little bits I did play before the CTD from the driver error, I'm quite excited for the game.

but I'm also excited for NHL 12 and Elder Scrolls 5.
