For those of you who weren’t blown away by what you saw in the Battlefield 3 multiplayer beta, worry not. Before you jump on any forums to unleash a torrent of complaints, DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson has assured players that the final version will feature a number of improvements. 
 
Troedsson stated that the beta is based off of a very early code. “The Battlefield 3 Open Beta is based on software that is more than one month old.”
 
“Just like normal procedure when releasing a game, the Open Beta has had long lead times due to testing, certification, and setting up. This means that the code you are now playing is actually quite early and not representative of the final game.”
 
“We had to do this in order to have as many people testing as possible, in order to ensure a top quality experience when the game is released…We appreciate your time and your feedback. The data and feedback from the Open Beta will not only directly affect the final game of Battlefield 3, but its future development and support. The final game will look, play and sound better than the Open Beta. You have helped making sure of that.”
 
And that’s why it’s called a BETA. Battlefield 3 is set to release on October 25th, 2011.
