If it's anything like BF3's alpha/beta, it will be Fall 2013 that we see the beta and have a couple hours early access to play the next Op Meatgrinder about a week before the game actuallty comes out. I got screwed by the "early access" last time when it was 2 days early acess a month ahead of the game's release.

Sorry, but I'm not making that mistake again unless EA shapes itself up. Yearly/semi-yearly releases kill franchises, not build them. Sure, they bring in a shitton of money, but only for so long before the general population wisens up.

And to think things were looking so bright after BC2's release...
