Maybe for small games like RO2 it is about allowing people to get a pre-taste to see if to buy it or not.. that's not the case here.
Nope, the RO2 closed beta was for people who had already bought the game and the purpose was to get a larger test group to eliminate max number of bugs before the release. And they did fix a number of bugs.

BF3 open beta is a demo which is also being used as a stress test.

Origin... What the hell EA? Did you REALLY have to fuck up every single thing about it?

No, I don't want my games to program files, I installed the software into my games partition, not my bloody windows partition.

Oh, I have to download the game and then install it? Some other software handles it differently but... wait.. you actually broke my installation!?

OK, let's verify the game cache and... hmm, I cant? I have to re-download the whole game?

At least I have a fast internet so... wait, did you seriously just freeze?

The Steam beta in 2003 was quite bad. I wish Origin would be at least on that level.

Way to go EA, "You must be logged in as an administrator to continue." that pops up when I try to install the beta isn't really helping in convincing me to buy the game... Jesus fucking christ if you have to copy something, at least do it RIGHT.

So I did some research and found out about this "Origin" thingy:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/960869-battlefield-3/60145714

Apparently it scans your entire ProgramData folder, but at the moment it doesn't seem to relay any significant info to EA's servers.

However it's ability to scan stuff on your computer can be stopped by using the program called Sandboxie which allows you to run it in a secluded environment:

Has anyone found a Caspian Border server without password. I will NOT play anymore Operation Metrosexual..

This comforts me.

EA/DICE... seriously... this is lalalalaing awesome. THIS is what Battlefield is all about. I immediately felt and heard the intensity that a Battlefield game is supposed to have. Why are you lalalalaing around with Operation Metroll in this beta? You can blow your audience away with Caspian Border, which is a true Battlefield experience. I was very disappointed when playing Operation Metroll, but Caspian Border has made me a happy person again. If you really want to redeem yourself, I suggest you put up more Caspian Border servers, and open them up to the public. Well done. Now go, and do what you gotta do.

 Edit: To those who aren't able to play Caspian Border, you will not be disappointed.

I had some problems with it as well, but mucked about with it until I managed to get it working. I just don't know how I did it.

I love programs tellin you that you have to run them as an admin and they won't let you continue, while, in fact, I'm the ONLY admin. That is hilarious.

No, I don't want my games to program files, I installed the software into my games partition, not my bloody windows partition.

So is was there a way to get it not to install to my windows partition?  I had a couple cocktails when I installed Origin and just assumed I fucked up.  When I finally got the beta downloaded it gave me an error because it ate up all the room on my SSD.   >:(  I was able to shuffle some stuff around to squeeze the beta on there but for the full game I will be boned unless this is fixed.

I did try Caspian the other day for and for those wondering if it has that BF2 vanilla feel the answer is a big YES.  I hope they adopt the BF2 squad system of 6 guys and the ability to leave and join squads of your choosing in the final version.  4 man throw me in whatever fucking squad was fine for some loltastic Rush gameplay but for Caspian I thought it sucked and really missed the old system.

Yes, you can change it from the settings somewhere.

I hate this...
it's installed now, but this god damned server browser won't seem to work. It's been on "joining server" for ages.
Why couldn't they have created a normal server browser IN-GAME and not on the WEB
