**** yeah

Yup. Just keep an eye on your email in September, as there will probably be an announcement. Won't be a code or anything for the open beta. When it drops, it should be available in your console's network or whatever.

I don't know much about all that, as I use PC.

Anyway, I'll post here when the open beta drops.

you sure this isn't just for pre-order people?

Open beta is open for everyone. That's the definition of open beta. Also confirmed by the community manager of DICE.

The "early access", which is incidentally 48 hours prior to the open beta, is for those who pre-order for PC download on Origin (previously EA store), and those who bought Medal of Honor limited edition.

Needless to say, anyone who wants in the open beta (not the early access) simply needs to download the client file when it becomes available in September.

Exact dates for the open beta will be released down the road.

Played the early access beta today. Fun.
Open beta starts on the 29th for all platforms. Even if you're not planning on buying the game, you can still check it out.

Couldn't get into BF2, Fear2 is Ok and Crysis2 was over too quickly.

my beta experience so far

Number of times killed in a firefight: 0

Number of times killed by person camping prone in a bush: 9,000+
