If you're jonesing for access to Battelfield 3's ongoing alpha or upcoming September beta, these videos ought to tide you over, at least for a little while. YourGamingTeam has captured roughly 30 minutes of multiplayer gameplay footage (part two is here) that runs through the class customization features and weapons available in the alpha.
I'll warn you that the narrator isn't the most scintillating speaker, and that he frequently loses focus as he becomes fixated on visual quirks of the alpha or features like vault-jumping. Weapons, though! Yay, weapons!
Just remember that this is video from an alpha version of BF3, meaning those aforementioned visual quirks will be addressed before release, along with any number of other issues. The narrator also notes that the alpha runs on DirectX 9; the final release will have Dx11 support, so expect it to look quite a bit better on the right rig. Check out the video, broken into two parts, below.

I'm happy this guy is dumb enough, or has enough balls, to post this wonderful video for my entertainment while knowing he'll probably get banned for it.

I like how the guy constantly has an excuse when he gets killed. "I just died. That's because the other guy has a better sniper than me." Dude you're using a heavy machine gun. "That guy should be dead. They really need to fix that. The sniper should only take one bullet. Sometimes it takes two or three." Yeah it does take only one bullet, but you gotta actually shoot them in the head. Not the neck. Not the shoulder. The Head! And maybe you should've went for the guy standing in front of you first instead of the guy standing way behind him. Either way, I much would've rather had him get banned for showing actual game play than just what guns are included and what their recoils are. Bottom line, most of the guns will be the same as Bad Comp 2 if not similar anyway. Game play is what makes or breaks a game in my opinion not included weapons.

Hey G4,
I'm also in the Alpha test and way to support someone breaking our Non-Disclosure Agreement we all had to sign and abide by. The good thing is because you posted this the guy will be getting banned shortly. Thanks for helping find someone else leaking gameplay :)
Also to address a few things.
Yes you can prone. He has bad recording software the game runs beautiful and is very detailed even in this Alpha state of development. One of the most realistic detailed games I have ever played and I'm enjoying every second of it.
Anyways have a good day,
Nitemare

Pretty sure there is a NDA on this. Smooth one guy if there is.

With all the hype surrounding this game, I think everyone will be severely disappointed. The game has realism down, that's for sure...Whether or not it has 'fun' down remains to be seen. Just my two cents.

Agreed, the map is really ugly. Im not sure if its the graphics or the color scheme but something is really off.

this map looks so boring and plain

The alpha DOESN'T run on DirectX 9, it runs on DirectX 11, that's the only device version they support.
Please don't misreport things like that, there's no DX9 or DX10 support in the alpha nor will there be in the final version, DX11 supports feature levels for DX9 and DX10 cards on Vista and 7, but that's all.
From the MSDN website:
"Direct3D 11 runtime introduces Direct3D 9, 10, and 10.1 "feature levels", compatibility modes which allow use of only the hardware features defined in the specified version of Direct3D. For Direct3D 9 hardware, there are three different feature levels, grouped by common capabilities of "low", "med" and "high-end" video cards; the runtime directly uses Direct3D 9 DDI provided in all WDDM drivers."

BF3 will be EPIC.
Pros:
- Game looks gorgeous visually. Kotick may as well buy a copy, because no one will be playing COD multiplayer anymore. As for trying to charge for CoD Elite? hahahahhahaha.
- Prone position looks like it is going to make bush wookies harder to see. Should be interesting out in the field.
Small Gripes:
- To all new players - play the objective i.e capture the base! The reviewer in these videos sets a terrible example. I cannot remember the number of games I find noobs standing around in the middle of nowhere shooting their guns in the air trying to hit a chopper with a pistol or at nothing. This just leads to all the good players on your team quitting, and you will lose. DICE should consider a significant award/points bump for the winning team to reinforce the concept of playing the objective.
- Weapons customization seems to feature exactly the same elements from BFBC2 (scope, side arms, munitions etc), just with a different/slicker user interface. I would have liked to see some major character personalization features ala Brink i.e tatts, berets, hoods, clothing etc
In any case, BF3 is a day one purchase for sure.
