Go here http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield3/1/beta and scroll down to the FAQ. Where it says "how do I install the beta" has a link to the client.
I'm guessing you mean the bf3 client and not the origin client. Still the origin client wasn't easy to find on Origin's site so I will leave the link up.

Sweet, the beta is available on the 360 dashboard now!
Well that's strange

Anyone else see this on their dashboard?

They're taunting us. I was totally prepared to give them -1 Microsoft points and then they were like "Sike, it's 4 billion points!"
Cons:
The menu system is so counter intuitive. The mix of having to press R1, L1, X, left and right feels awkward and confusing. Having your loadout menu and kit selection menu makes things feel slow. Bad Company 2 got it right. It felt fast, fluid and effective.
Hopefully we get Caspian unlocked for the PC beta (I'm a PS3 player). I'm hoping that it will change my mind because Op Metro is a terrible map. The first half filled with proning snipers and camping assaults, the second is full of laggy insta-kills.
But my biggest complaint has to be how awkward it feels to move around the map. Vaulting over things feels rough. Traversing through the trains and on the tracks is a nightmare. I also feel like I get stuck on little objects that shouldn't even waver me. BC2 had it's problems with the hills, but this is much worse.
Pros:
Dat Lighting.

This (You know you have suppressed an enemy when you get 50 bonus points)
You know how your screen gets all blurry from someone shooting at you while you are in cover, this enhances it for the guy shooting at you
Keeps you at bay...you know suppressing you...like OMG!
Good for LMG's suppressive fire gives you a chance for the enemy not to move forward, but also gives time for your team to move in for the kills
Due to COD Lone Wolf mentality, it doesn't work properly, smart Battlefield players know how to stall advancement of the attackers or try to push back defenders
That is why Support now has ammo, while Assault has healing, Assault with Ammo refil = 1 man army, unlimited ammo, now they are pegged down, + Support has LMG, 300+ bullets to go through before a refill is needed, so not many boxes are gonna get spammed, + some players don't know they have that ability LOL

Wonder if the beta has suppression affecting weapon accuracy.
Being suppressed should increase weapon sway and recoil. This would make it nearly impossible for suppressed snipers to take you out.

It does get framey at points. What I noticed was that there are more "hiccups" than an actual bad framerate. But it's playable I think.
Better than KZ3? I'd say no. the textures are no that great and the AA could be better. The only thing that stands out to be is the lighting and how clear it looks. Other than that, nothing special.

This happened to me also.gibon3z said:
Actually made me laugh. Dude was lying on a wall with the glock on his head killing people. He looks like a corpse but he could still fire back.
Also I played a server just now where team kill was on, I've not played like that before and wow, it's damn good!! You can't just blind fire around everywhere, sure am loving this shit, still has a lot of refinement to go, but it sure is a gem, I just don't want to stop playing, I always start playing badly after I play for a few hours straight so I said "okay last game" and ended up doing about 9 more rounds lol.

Does anyone have a extra 360/ps3 code? I'm down for the weekend because of ankle surgery and it would be nice to play before Dark Souls next week.

I'm really interested in what people have to say about the 360 version. i've played it for the past 2 days and I am still disappointed. Gameplay is good. The response of throwing nades, medpacks, and knife killing needs to be fixed. The graphics need to be smoothed. I've never seen so many jagged edges. Also, lets get some textures in the game for christ's sake.
All in all It is a love/hate relationship with me. I really like how the game controls with the 360 controller, but the game runs like this a month before release.... They should've launched beta for consoles like 6 months ago.

It's up on X-Box Live, but when you try to download MS says you don't have enough MS Points and that you need like 4978456495 points (not the exact number, but about that many digits).
Hilarious.

What time are we getting this on the west coast, 1am? 3am? Am I staying up or what?
/edit/
360 impressions sound troubling, really hope they pull this off by launch.
