BF3 Alpha

There is a closed alpha of BF3 going on right now. To get in you need veteran status and have signed up for the EA newsletter. I hope I get in!

it's bad enough they want people to beta test their games for them now they want us to ALPHA test? If I ever alpha test a game I better be getting paid.

i've lost about 85% of the interest i had so i no longer care if i am in the alpha or beta. it's just BFBC2 with slightly updated graphics. no commander mode, no squad leader, no comm rose, etc.

I don't meet the criteria. :(

How do you achieve "veteran status" on your account?
