The Battlefield 3 open beta is almost over; however, the full experience of a 64 player map with vehicles has not been accessible to the general public.  Until now, that is.  EA has announced that the once password protected Caspian map will be available this weekend to stress test the servers.  To give you an idea of the map, PC Perspective was able to get onto one of the Caspian servers during our live stream.

The EA representative noted that the beta may be prone to crashes and network issues, and that they are (likely) not indicative of the final product.  They are currently experiencing a bug where users may be kicked from the server with a message indicating it was due to an administrator’s actions.  The representative noted that the message does not mean that the user was kicked by an administrator but rather was due to being dropped from the server (due to network issues).  Starting Friday afternoon, PC players will be able to log onto the Caspian maps, which will be available until the end of the beta on Monday, October 10th.

Have you tried out the Caspian Battlefield 3 beta map yet?
