Why DICE will probably never have an open beta again.

Despite the obvious that this game is only a beta based on an old BF3 build.


Around 34000 have decided to cancel their preorder. (Only a small dent considering ther has been over 1.5m copies already sold & there is much more expected after / before release.)

It amazes me that people are only getting dumber as the years go by.


DICE have stated that the primary purpose was to find bugs & test server load.





Probably what has got them in the dog box is their decisions to:
-Keep squads on PC as unmanageable. (Huge petitions on this. It is likely DICE will reconsider)
-No commander.




Well we can guarantee two things here:
-There will be less idiots in BF3.
-Say good bye to all future Open Betas.

After the misinterpretation by the community, it is likely DICE and other developers will want to keep betas closed.




We can speculate...

-The image may be photoshopped. (Its a fake ?)
-DICE will be putting in the hard yards to get this game up to scratch before release.

@Battlefield confirmed the image was a fake and was never posted from the Battlefield account.

LOL love the Jet Footage.
