DICE clarifies BF4 beta options

Following plenty of speculation following the announcement that beta invites for {Battlefield 4} will be received with {Medal of Honor: Warfighter}, DICE community manager Ian Tornay took to Reddit to clarify some issues.

First of all, {Medal of Honor: Warfighter} will not be the only way to secure a beta invite, for now, however, it's the only way to be 100% sure. Tornay, also notes that while the beta will hit fall 2013, there is no release date for {Battlefield 4}, but that it will naturally be released after the beta. He also noted that there are several teams at DICE and that support for {Battlefield 3} including the upcoming expansions will continue according to plan.

Tornay also commented on the criticism that {Battlefield 4} comes too soon:

"We've been seeing a lot of concerns about the pacing of release (i.e. "only" two years after BF3). I think it's worth noting that DICE has released a Battlefield game every two years or sooner AND {Mirror's Edge} at least every two years. I truly believe that we're in one of the best positions to be creating our next title - Frostbite 2 has matured, we've been gathering fan feedback like crazy, {Battlefield 3} continues to expand with features which we can learn from, and we've got more data about how people play than ever."
