EA just dropped a bombshell on Battlefield fans in the middle of its E3 press conference. The game launches on October 21st, but you can sign up for the beta which launches today. Update: EA says that it's no longer accepting new players "for now," but you can still put yourself on the wait list here.
If that doesn't work, fear not: you can still whet you Battlefield appetite by watching some Hardline action while you wait for a spot in the beta.
