hello all im just wondering if anyone has got early access to the BF3 beta through MoH as i still havent received my early access key ive searched the net and found the beta starts tomorrow at noon GMT but keys should have been sent out and when i contacted EA it was blatent i was speaking to a indian but im not sure if his english grammer was bad or he was covering himself by using the word "been" heres the transcript.

Hi, my name is Vinay. How may I help you?
Jon Bowen: Hi sorry I'm sure you have had this alot but I should be getting a early access key for battlefield 3 I'm a UK resident I wanted to know when the emails would be sent out
Vinay: They are been sent out
Jon Bowen: They have already been sent?
Jon Bowen: Or are they currently being sent out?
Vinay: Yes, they are still been sent out.
Jon Bowen: Ok. Thanks very much have a good day

has anyone recived their beta key and when did they get it?

Cheers

Haven't got mine yet unfortunately but im not worried on it since i have been playing it during the Alpha Trial. The Beta is not much different, so same maps and such with perhaps some bug fixes or so. Would of been better if the Beta did a different map and different objective perhaps?

Just posted this in the All you need to know thread before seeing this one.
I was really hoping to be able to get my PC before the Beta came along, sadly I'll have to settle now for playing it on 360.

ok concidering i pre-ordered MoH teir 1 really for the BF3 beta so i must have been in the first few 1000 to actually be on the bf3 beta list, i still havent recived my key and all i get from the crappy EA support is "the emails are being sent out and you will have your key by midnight" doesnt really cut it. I was a alpha tester but due to my rig at the time, the game wasnt really playable so the beta will be my 1st real experiance on the game, i doubt il play much of the open beta because lets face it its gonna crash badly when the 100s of 1000s start playing. The fact you cant sue EA any longer if you signed there terms means i wont be able to make a point of their false advertising from medal of honor. Ive had way to much coffee and been up too long now if you cant tell and the fact ppl in the uk will start to play the beta in less than 10 mins is starting to wind me up.

I always view beta invites as a perk, not a right. Sure, I bought MoH and had the BF3 thingy on it, but I never saw it as a given that a year on I would get into the beta.

I know you have had A LOT of coffee Bowen :D But I think even without signing terms, you'd be pretty hard pushed to sue a company for not letting you in early, when you will still have access to the finished game.

I have the terribly nice and convenient excuse of being on holiday from Saturday, so wouldnt be here for the beta round anyway :D

(waits for useless code I cant use to appear in inbox in next 5 mins :D )

i see what your saying ded but its just winding me up as theres probably alot of ppl playing it and then theres me being a big dice fanboy since their very old pinball games in the early 90s it just doesnt seem fair and im sure im not alone. EA just want to make money and push dice off in bad directions it seems to be screwing dice`s real fan base over.

You're not the only one, I'm following guys from Dice and EA on Twitter and inbetween their "I'm playing the Beta right now" tweets, they're still saying keys are still rolling out.

This might help, one of the BF Community managers just retweeted this:

"Steam codes are under your medal of honor CD keys - you can redeem them in origin as of now :) (restart steam if you don't see)"

im guessing theres no way to get a code now lol? or no way of playing the beta at any point? Not that im too bothered with having f1 anyway, but would be cool.
