Yep. You may even get it the day before. If you do though you are forbidden to play it because I won't have it yet 
Actually, I think I will stay logged out of XB live from the 25th. I'll get rage when I see my American mates playing it!

I really hope they tone that down. When I first heard it I was like "Erggghhh...too much CoD influence"

Credo
slight fly in the ointment wrt to the EULA that they are pushing with the game:

yes you can opt out but this makes playing the game all but impossible apparantly - due to the opt out being "do not install Origin"

They've changed the wording of it now apparently.
Anyway, on a more postive note, a bit of nostalgia.
I remember when I first played BF1942 and was totally blown away. I first saw it at an ex-bandmates house (Mr Kav's older brother). We used to mix our recordings there so he had his PC hooked up to a hi-fi. Imagine watching this opening sequence, with that epic music, on a proper sound system. Then marvelling at a combined aircraft/ship/submarine/tank and infantry simulator rolled into one. Add to the mix staying up all night drinking copious amounts of coffee and smoking copious amounts of hash and you're onto a winner

Then add to the mix the glorious intro for BF2. I played the demo for 16 hours straight when it was released and then god knows how long when the actual game came out

Mr Beardy Drummer
Yeah I reckon you will be fine with that setup. I would say 4gb would be enough but RAM is so cheap nowadays and with RAM, more is definitely best 
Check the minimum and recommended specs for BF3 that can be found on many websites. I can't remember what they are but they're easily searchable

It's not as bad as it sounds. It stops regen if more damage is sustained.

Well I will reserve judgement until I get my hands on it at Gamefest on the 17th. I doubt it will be a massive gam changer though. The player would have to hide for it to regen taking them out of the equation. Engy's will still be integral to keep a vehicle alive.

What's the big deal you heal slowly too if you stop taking damage....I really don't have a problem with this.
Kid_Eternity
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Doesn't bother me really...the game is intense and fantastic and it's never taken anything from that experience.

I'm not saying it's not great. I love it. I've pre-ordered the new one. It's one of my favourite games of the last five years.
It's just that everything else is realistic but if you hide yourself or your effing tank it regenerates health. What?
I'd prefer if it didn't happen, but I'm sure it'll still be brilliant.

It's seriously never jarred for me the healing thing...can't see that it will with tanks etc either...

I don't think there's a commander mode in this game...
They'll be some info released on Sept 9th regarding the beta.

Source?
DICE have stated over and over that they will announce the date "when ready". Being a reader of the truly horrific EAUK forums, I have seen my fair share of trololololololol's regarding the beta so excuse my scepticism
We're a GSP who'll be hosting the beta servers (edit: on behalf of EA, but we're still not sure if they're going to let us or not). Anyone who uses the KC network will have received a similar email.
You have my deepest sympathy being an admin EAUK. I can barely bring myself to read the forums.

I'm not an admin. If I was I'd punch myself in the face
I'd be very surprised if it was any sooner than the 27th. They probably won't even fix any bugs found in time for release. I reckon it will be a patch after release seeing as they have to make the discs, ship them etc. Plus with Microsoft having to QA any patch they deliver over xbox live, it would delay the release of the game.
