The Battlefield 3 beta is mere weeks away, and after playing the game at E3 I can say just how solid the game seems at this early stage. How good is it? I have ceased to care about the minor inconvenience of typing my name into a different service. Yes, I am willing to put up with a few seconds of change to play a game. This is a huge commitment.

EA has released a new trailer today that shows off one of the bonuses given to customers who pre-order, so you can see just how much of an advantage you'll have by giving up some money now instead of later.

"This pack is available as a pre-order bonus at select retailers and at Origin for the PC digital download version of Battlefield 3: Limited Edition," EA explains. "At a later date, we will unlock all of these items to all players of Battlefield 3 at no extra charge."

So there you go, the bonus weapons in action. The fact that the content will be released freely in the future is a nice touch, as is the fact that you'll be able to get the weapons at a selection of retailers, instead of it being exclusive to a single outlet.

Now, let's get that beta started! Also, you may begin complaining about Origin in the comments.
