EA and DICE are finally pulling up the curtain on Battlefield 3, which will head into open beta on September 29th. However, if you’re one of the 1.25 million people who have pre-ordered the game via EA’s Origin service, you will have access on September 27th. And, if you’re one of the foolish few who pre-ordered the Tier 1 edition of Medal of Honor, you will also have 48 hours of extra playtime. Does it seem shifty that EA promised a Battlefield 3 Beta Key to customers who purchased an overly expensive version of MoH an entire year ahead of BF3’s release, and now they’re only giving 48 hours of playtime before everyone on earth gets the same chance? It should. 
An objective-based mode, the attackers have to arm and detonate pairs of M-COM stations in each area of the map to unlock the next area and the next pair of M-COM stations. While defenders have an unlimited amount of spawn tickets, attackers only get new tickets every time they destroy a pair of M-COMs. If all M-COM stations on the entire map are destroyed, the attackers are declared the winning team. If the defenders manage to deplete the attacker’s tickets to zero (by killing them), the defenders are declared the winners. As an all-out warfare mode, Rush features a large variety of vehicle setups tuned specifically to that map’s landscape and features. Players can find all types of vehicles on Rush maps, including transport vehicles, armored vehicles, helicopters, and of course, jets. Rush offers a compelling objective based all-out warfare game mode for Battlefield veterans. Battlefield 3 launches for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 25, once everyone is thoroughly addicted to the beta. By Josh Engen |
