Question: What is the Battlefield 3 Closed Alpha Trial?
Answer: It is a highly tech focused test period where the main purpose is to do a number of server related tests in preparation for game launch requiring a set amount of players online to ensure the final experience is as much fun and easy as possible.
Q: Is this the Beta promised to buyers of Medal of Honor: Limited Edition?
A: No, this is an Alpha Trial, meaning this software is still not at the "Beta" development milestone. The Open Beta will start in September. The exact date for when Medal of Honor: Limited Edition players can join the Beta will be announced at a later date.
Q: Can I join the Battlefield 3 Closed Alpha Trial?
A: The Alpha is a closed test and by invitation only. If you'd like to have a chance to be called upon make sure to register for our newsletter and ensure your Veteran status is up to date.
Q: What if I don't have an EA account?
A: If you need to create an EA account, please sign up via the EA Profile Page.
Q: Do I need to know anything about the Alpha Trial on the Windows PC before I start?
A: Yes, you'll need to download and install Origin so you can redeem your code, and download the client. Do this first! It'll save you time later, and you'll be able to experience the action that much faster! To learn more about Origin, visit About Origin.
Any "key influencers" on this board? I thought not...
