The Battlefield 3 beta went live last night, for most people. I gave it a good romp on PC last night, and I'm pleased to say that my first impressions were mostly positive. I've decided to cover off some key points for those of you that haven't had a chance to play yet, or for those of you that have and are looking for an argument.

My fingers hurt from cramping, my vision is furry and all I can hear is the bloody roars of roid-munching zombies. So, how did it go?
