If you’ve had to endure the week without Battlefield 4 beta access then the wait is over as the beta has gone live for everyone on all platforms.
The beta includes Conquest and Domination modes and the single Siege of Shanghai map but there is no Commander Mode in the beta, you’ll have to wait for that I’m afraid.
The download weighs in at 5.6Gb and it’s up on Origin now.
Tim has spent the week running around the Siege of Shanghai map, and you can read his thoughts on the beta so far based on a few days worth of playing.
