Don't freak guys, the Alpha is only good until Monday, August 1st anyway. It's not like you're missing out on much. And being in the Alpha doesn't give you beta access either.

MT Alex · Jul 28, 2011

No, but I have $50 worth of crap titled "Medal of Honor, Limited Edition" that I hope will take care of the beta :laugh:

DanishDevil · Jul 28, 2011

That will get you into the beta

That's a mighty pricey beta key

MT Alex · Jul 28, 2011

Luckily, it was a Christmas present from my bro-in-law. He's a good one to have, while everyone else gives my clothes and junk, he is always good for a new game. Incidentally, he's the one who got me going down the devious road of building rigs.

1Kurgan1 · Jul 28, 2011

I'm sad no access for me still

kg4icg · Jul 28, 2011

Add me to the list who got a alpha invite. Looks pretty good on a I7-2600k with a 470GTX.

Scrizz · Jul 28, 2011

man u MFs

ihateuall

I better get one, or else >_>

Where did you read that?

TheMailMan78 · Jul 28, 2011

The game is......EPIC. Even in Alpha form......or so I hear from Youtube videos.

GullyFoyle · Jul 28, 2011

There have been issues for some playing the BF3 Alpha with Nvidia video cards. They have just released a set of drivers to deal with this issue.

twitter.com/repi: "Please use the just released Geforce 280.19 Beta drivers for the #bf3 alpha trial: http://bit.ly/r46j3H battlelog: http://bit.ly/pqSXQS"

erixx · Jul 28, 2011

Well, me and my glorious Nvidia have no issues at all with the Alpha, none, zero, nix, nada!

InnocentCriminal · Jul 28, 2011

New ATi drivers helped me.

Ha ! I like MOH better then any newer COD games. It isn't perfect , but I'll play that before COD's or Homefront. That is how I feel about HF. $50 piece of crap : )

Good to know. Was wondering about crossfire as I'd rather not be stuck with a single 6850 for obvious reasons.

Others keep being patient and trying and, yes, I too would like further confirmation that this ends Monday. Here's a quote from a DICE dude in the Reddit thread where I learned to screw the email and just try logging in again. Got my code but then a thunder storm rolled in so had to shut down and just went to bed.

It's real. The e-mails send you to this site to grab your code...sometimes they just take a while to arrive in your mailbox. So it's worth a try once, but "You don't meet the criteria" is misleading - no amount of clicking or country changing or incantations will get you in unless you get selected for the next batch of keys.

Yep, mine locks up every ~5 minutes into a game session. Thanks for the link.

lemode · Jul 28, 2011

I get a warning about needing to upgrade drivers but the drivers I have play the game fine. Even in alpha it runs really damn smooth. Not having played bad co 2 (or any FPSs for that matter) in a while, man do I suck! Ha. I really like what I am playing even though I hate rush. I just don’t know if I will buy the game still.

Wrigleyvillain · Jul 28, 2011

Yeah. It's definitely an Alpha (not full featured even in terms of destruction and some other things) and also it's just Rush (meh). If I didn't get a code I honestly wouldn't be too bummed.

I thought you would have been all over this Alpha m8!

I saw it running round a friends, it's SUPERB!!!!!!

Wrigleyvillain · Jul 28, 2011

I think that was a tongue-in-cheek remark. He said earlier he got a code.

Sir B. Fannybottom · Jul 28, 2011

Who else got in the alpha?

I got a code but no pc to play it

Wrigleyvillain · Jul 28, 2011

Well Kevin if can't use you could perhaps make a very good new friend here at TPU.

Sir B. Fannybottom · Jul 28, 2011

LOL check the email you have your ea account with. I heard almost everyone got one

Wrigleyvillain · Jul 28, 2011

I have one. Without getting the email first. But this did not work for everyone as yet such as Kurgan and I think Scrizz offhand. However they could still end up on EAs list, so to speak. As usual this just happens with no real, good info from them.

Start reading at the top of the last page for the whole story if you'd care to...

Well I think that was more just a jab at the NDA.
