Got my Battlefield 3 Beta Invite - How about you?

With all this talk about Battlefield 3 I thought I would share some of my good fortune.

Battlefield 3 Alpha Trial & Battlefield 3 Open Beta (48 hours early!! )

I'm still not a fan of how the game loads,  First you have to launch from Origin which then spawns your default browser to log you into the BattleNet.  From there you can choose to play a "Quick Match" (the only thing available in the beta).  Clicking Quick Match will spawn another window with a "join server" button.  Clicking that will spawn another process to connect you to a multiplayer server.  If you're lucky it will come back with a button that actually launches the game and allows you to play.

When you are killed in the game you have to wait for the "Deploy" button to show which will get back into the action.  Of course clicking that button takes awhile to register so you're actually out of it for a good 15 seconds while you wait.

Oh ya, and it looks like there is only a single map.
