EA has confirmed that UK consumers who pre-order Battlefield 3 via the company’s Origin digital store will get access to the game’s multiplayer beta. The pre-order page lists the previously revealed Back to Karkand, Physical Warfare and Battlefield Play4Free DLC, as well as the Beta access.

Earlier today it was thought that the beta access was only available to US consumers, with no mention of the promotion on the UK Origin site.

“Get into the fight first with a 48HR head star when you pre-order at Origin,” reads the site. It also states that “Consumers who bought the Medal of Honor Limited Edition or Tier 1 Edition already have this reward.”

Battlefield 3 pre-orders are already 10x that of Bad Company 2, and comparable to Call of Duty: Black Ops.

This week EA essentially confirmed that Battlefield 3 will have an online pass.
