For those of you who have yet to download the Battlefield 3 Beta, here is the intro video that was created for it. The video takes you on a tour of the open Beta gives you quick run down of the Rush Mode and character classes for the highly anticipated game. 

There have been a few complaints about the beta for this game, but that's expected. The reason for the Beta is to fix any problems so that when the game is ready to launch it will be smooth sailing. DICE is building a list of fixes that it will make based on player feedback. Here's the first round of improvements that they will be working on before the game's released. These were posted on EA's Battlefield Blog:
