    Yeah seems to be, hopefully it was just an early leak & they plan to announce it during the E3 Conference. I got in myself :)

    I'm confirmed as in, downloading the game now.

    I believe the beta is actually live now ready to go :O

    *Seemingly will take a bit to show up in "My Games" due to the fact the world just went onto Origins haha

    Odd, I didn't get a link or any email. It showed a download option, then forwarded on to the reward page. Can you send me on the link to download, since my account is already permitted access?

    Not on my Origin yet. Time to refresh repeatedly and make it worse for everyone else.

    I think the page might be getting slightly DDOS'd at the moment but you can register your interest. They'll email if you get into the beta itself.

    You get a BF4 dogtag next month for signing up.

    Thankfully the download system is completely separate from the account parts, but it's the account part that's buckling.

    Yeah dont expect to get in anytime soon.
    EA's servers are being hit so hard even their forums aren't loading right now.

    There's a reason no one has launched a Beta during their E3 Conference before.........

    Think there is still about 26% availability through PS4 (the beta tile is under Battlefield 4). Downloading mine now, 6GB. Will post some impressions if I get a chance to play it tonight.

    First Impressions - I know it's early days but this is not for me , reminds me of something I played from a group of independents about 5 years ago . I'll give it some more time from both me and them but I'm probably negative going into it as it's less BF more CSS .

    I was waiting for 30 minutes if not more. Was told to reset PS4 by one of the lads here, and low and behold, I could start downloading via the Battlefield menu in the XMB on the PS4. Try that.

    edit - just checked there, still haven't received the email, but am downloading it right now nonetheless.

    Cheers, but I don't have BF4 on the PS4 or PC unfortunately, just going to have to wait it out :(

    I had a lash of BFHardline just now, it's a Counter Strike mod for BF4 essentially (which I'm sure we all figured anyway), but that's how it plays too. Will have to have a proper look at it tomorrow when it's not time for bed.
