You can start preloading the Beta today at 8:00 PM and will be able to play on Tuesday starting at 11:00 AM.
so we wait for october 4th to play it since we didn't pre-order bf4?Aly wroteYou can start preloading the Beta today at 8:00 PM and will be able to play on Tuesday starting at 11:00 AM.
If you pre-ordered MOH, BF4, or you are a BF3 Premium (that's my case) you can play on October 1st. Otherwise you will have to wait for the 4th of October it will be open for everyone.ballad wroteso we wait for october 4th to play it since we didn't pre-order bf4?Aly wroteYou can start preloading the Beta today at 8:00 PM and will be able to play on Tuesday starting at 11:00 AM.

That's what Origin says: "Available: October 1, 2013 11:00 AM".
I started the preloading, we will see how it is on Tuesday :)

downloading and waiting for tomorrow to play it?
Who can give me his download file on a usb or dvd9 because I can't download it
@ ballad pretty much yea, that is the case if actually we are going to have to wait to start playing after the download is complete.
or, maybe preload is downloading a Beta game maybe xD that's what I figured. like downloading beta games is called preloading lol.
@georges_1 If u can pass by Dekwaneh area after 8:30,i can give it to you.
whatsapp me here 76 086 425. I'm gonna put the whatsapp bundle today xD

Preloading games is usually available for all digitally purchased games, you can start downloadinf the beta / or full game 2-3 days before the launch date but you cant play it, on the official launch date you have everything ready and start playing immediately.
BF4 finished preloading, its about 5.5 GB.

so how to prelaod it guys?
I think you cant right now, I have 2 Origin accounts, one with Battlefield 3 Standard and one with Battlefield 3 Premium, the account with premium got BF4 Beta automatically added to the games library, the standard one didnt get it (Neither the option for preload) I tried to add it from the store but I couldnt.

As usual, to avoid downloading BF4 beta multiple times on our limited Lebanese connection, or if you are giving the files to a friend to skip the download here what you need to do, I just tried it on my brother's PC and it worked:
1- Run Origin and press Preload, let it download for a minute or two until "Battlefield 4 Beta" folder is created in Origin Games folder.
2- Pause update.
3- Exit Origin and make sure its not running in the background.
4- Delete the "Battlefield 4 Beta" folder from your Origin Games folder and copy paste the 5.5 GB one you already downloaded.
5- Open notepad and paste the below:
6- Run the bf4.reg and click yes.
7- Open Origin and go to your games, right click on Battlefield 4 Beta and click Cancel Update.
8- Right Click "Repair Install", wait a couple of minutes for it to finish.
9- That's it your game is ready.
EDIT: I joined the beta (Graphics are set on AUTO and are HIGH), played for about a couple of minutes, didn't like the game much, hated the map (Siege Of Shanghai), left the game, I cant really judge it as it is only one map and the game is beta, but currently I am not really satisfied.

open beta is available for download now
Perhaps its just me, but the game plays and looks ugly.
I'm downloading it now... some people have told me that it's bad. any feedback ?
Also if you're copying the game to multiple computers but bounded to the same Origin account, you don't need the registry fix, just pause and close origin and replace the BF4 folders. I figured this out yesterday trying to sync Crysis 3 (Origin) after a Windows format.

I played it. Looks, and feels exactly like BF3
I actually think Battlefield 3 is better way better, but this is only the beta, let's wait and see the final product.
@Aly,cDude! even the beta is very different than battlefield 3. We're talking about gameplay like you said. the first and most affecting factor, suppression. Have you tried sniping in the beta? dude. no suppression at all
And thats not the only thing, very much has changed
the way you walk, run, the way you jump, you can double jump ! the way you melee ! the way you lock onto targets, swimming, diving, waves affect, firing in water, meleeing in water ! and much much more
Almost every little thing and aspect is more advanced, more quality, more realism
@avok
man, you've barely even played BF3 .
