Many of you who tuned into E3 saw and heard the epic display of what is said to be the next Battlefield. For those of you who did not, you will be pleased to know that the next game in the series, Battlefield 3, is set to arrive for the 360, PS3, and PC on October 25th, 2011. Not only this, DICE claims to release a live beta which will begin on September 11th. Though just announced at the conference, many are buzzing with anticipation as Battlefield has undoubtedly made a name for itself.
Shown during the EA conference was the new acclaimed Frostbite engine 2, developed by DICE. Noted by many is the extreme realism and improvements which will be featured in this years game. The main four notable changes claimed by EA within this engine were animation, destruction, scale, and audio. Putting things into quick summary of what has been speculated:

The demo included intensely chaotic tank battles, and air strike sequences wherein the player physically moves from their tank perspective to a satellite monitor in order to target and destroy an enemy compound. Other highlights include BF3's extremely large maps, large scale battles and extremely pretty scenes of mass destruction.
The video below is a sneak peak of only some what Battlefield 3 has to offer:
As only a mere announcement, there will be much more information as we slowly approach the date nearing the game release. Details will also be revealed surrounding the beta and exactly how DICE will recruit participants. Nevertheless, it seems Battlefield 3 will give Modern Warfare 3 a run for it’s money.

I was trying to look for the details, however, since it was just announced, information might take awhile to be revealed. I am hearing that it perhaps might just be a open beta download, though that could be speculation.

I would imagine that if you pre-order it or another game from EA then you get the code early and if you don't then you will get it later. In that case I will just go to Gamestop pre-order BF3 or the game that you need to pre-order and get the code then like 2 days later just cancel unless I like the game enough.
