If you ordered the Digital Deluxe version through Origin. No other pre-orders get the beta today, you'll have to wait until Friday. But, if you have BF3 Premium or MoH Warfighter Digital Deluxe you can also get the beta today.

think you have to preorder it from Origin (but don't know that for sure). edit: wayy too slow.
I've only played it for about 10 mins but I'm pretty disappointed with it so far, seem to keep lagging even when I join games with pretty low ping (it's not the graphics, I've got the new Beta drivers and tried dropping the settings as well.) Edit 2: tried a different server and although lag wasn't as bad, it was definitely there - might just be SLI compatibility?
Also changing all of the key bindings to how I like it is more of a job than I would have guessed, funny how when I get into the game I know what to do instinctively but when I start to remap the keys I don't have a clue which buttons do what...

What's your spec?

Probably just it being a beta is all, things like that are often data transfer rates. I get frame drops on bf3 because of my VRAM being limited, of course not in your case, but could be a bottleneck somewhere else, or its just a bug.
Between beta and release is usually just optimizations and bug fixing as the game is basically finished
Wait is the Titan a dual GPU like the 690/590? If it is it could be micro stutter which happens a lot in SLI for a lot of people

Pretty disappointed. Plays no different to BF3 except your guy runs funny when you strafe. Feels slightly faster paced and less clunky, meaning becoming identical to cod. Played a few games and each of the games feel like I've just been running around pointlessly quickly capturing bases and spraying my gun, haven't given Conquest Large a go yet.
Not really seeing enough to justify full game price at the moment, specially with performance and lag issues I'm having. Will install beta drivers and see how I do after a kebab sorts me out.

Just had a few rounds on Domination, 331.40 beta drivers and virtually everything set to Ultra and it ran fine. It doesn't look as good as BF3 to me and, like Grimezy said, it's faster and smoother. Kills seem easier to bag from distance (with an assault rifle anyway) which can be a good and a bad thing I think, but overall it seems 'easier' than BF3. I suppose it'll take some getting used to but I think I'm back off to Scrap Metal for a bit.

Can't comment on gameplay but pretty sure all the lag and performance things people are reporting are simply down to it being first day of beta, i.e. lots of people cramming on and tuning issues...
Some academics have posited that Beta's exist so that developers can change things and smooth out problems that cannot be found with small scale internal testing.
Other less reputable commentators instead see Beta as "Early Release" and expect it to be the same as a retail product.

Can't tell if it's my connection or whether it's the games fault. Downloaded beta drivers, can't find low ping games, finally find some that are like 40-50ms, join them, check scoreboard "Grimezy - 50ms ping", *attempts to run forward", worst lag I've ever seen.
Guess I'll stop for the night.
