Get ready to wait. Apparently announcing a beta is available NOW during E3 is a very good way to break a website. I'm apparently in but the link to get the beta link on Origin still isn't working yet.

just spam click continue and it will eventually get you in

I'm past continue. There's another page after that that says you're in, and "get it now" is the next clicky step. This is where I've been stuck for awhile now.

did you get an email?

[Rand{CLR}]

Dunno, didn't check. But I tried another browser and had more success. Downloading now.

It looks far too close to BF4 for it to merit a whole new game but it's free for now so what the hey.

I didn't get anything to download... Says I will be contacted if I got in.

I have it, but it's utterly unplayable for me with Nvidia drivers right now. It's worse than the first day or two of BF4. I'm not even going to bother with it as beta until there are new GeForce drivers that deal with this.

They stopped giving out keys about 8 hours ago, said they will continue giving beta keys out soon. So looks like only one person here got in.

When I was at work I thought it was just a sign up.. It did try to download something to my phone. Obviously didn't work. Maybe I missed the key or something.

Signed up. Now to play the waiting game.

Signed up but didnt get the email. I doubt I'll buy this game even when its out of beta. The $70 price and blatant ripoff of the battlefield name only seems like this is one big cash grab.

Tell you what--I'll reboot tonight just in case a couple of background things are motoring along that slow me down, then try again soon after I get home.

However, I'm not expecting good things. There is VERY little info on this baby out right now re: performance, but I did just stumble across min requirements that specify 3GB of GPU memory. I ain't got that--I've got 2 GB on what is now a mid-range card and I was able to play BF4 fine before I up and quit.

Why a game running Frostbite that looks EXACTLY like BF4 in every conceivable way requires more power is beyond me. Nothing about the gameplay videos or what little I could see before stuttertown took me out of the beta in frustration looked like it needed new and significantly higher minimum specs.
