From EA’s E3 conference today, DICE studios has confirmed that a multi-platform open beta phase will kick off for Battlefield 3 this September, ahead of the game’s release on October 25, 2011.
At E3, EA is largely showcasing the single player campaign for Battlefield 3, which includes two new playable characters. Here’s the lowdown on the two missions currently being shown.
Dmitri “Dima” Mayakovsky, a Russian undercover agent, must fight his way from the Paris Stock Exchange through the crowded city streets in a desperate attempt to stop PLR operatives from detonating a dirty bomb in the heart of Paris. Jonathan “Jono” Miller, a Marine Corporal from America’s heartland, is deployed to the barren dustbowl of the Tehran desert to engage PLR forces. This chapter showcases a classic Battlefield vehicle warfare experience as players embark on a large scale tank attack to neutralize the PLR base.
We’ll have more news on Battlefield 3 throughout the week, including some awesome gameplay trailers.
