Luckily, the start date is just a few days away: September 4th at 1am PST.
This is the date that the game will be available to those who have pre-ordered the game or those that are members of EA Access, Origin Access Premier or Origin Access Beta. This early access to the open beta will only be exclusive for two days. Then, on September 6 th (1am PST), all Origin players on the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles will have access to the open beta.
Players who join in on the open beta will be able to battle on the Rotterdam map (Conquest mode) and Arctic Fjord (Conquest, Grand Operations). For gamers that want to make sure that they can jump in on the action the very second the open beta is available, preloading begins on September 3 rd (1am PST).
You will have access five tanks (Valentine Mk VIII, Churchill Mk VII, Churchill Gun Carrier, Panzer IV, Tiger I) and seven airplanes (Spitfire Mk VA, Spitfire Mk VB, Blenheim Mk IF, Bf 109 G-2, Ju 87 Stuka B-2, Ju 87 Stuka B-1, C47) in the open beta. You’ll also have some heavy artillery to handle including anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank weapons to help even the playing field. And if that isn’t enough there, will be German V-1 flying bombs delivering widespread destruction across the Rotterdam map.
Although Xbox One and PlayStation 4 gamers won’t have to worry about such things, here are system requirements for PC gamers:
