Speaking at the FNAC
meeting in Paris, France, DICE GM Karl Magnus Troedsson gave a co-op
demo of Battlefield 3 and answered questions. According to Planete-Battlefield.fr
(unrelated to us), KM said the PC beta is ready, but now they are
working with Microsoft and Sony to "accelerate preparations". From what
we have heard, it takes 2-3 weeks for Microsoft and Sony to approve
content, running it through tests to make sure it won't brick your
console among other things. That said, we have no idea when the build
was submitted to them. Via EA UK Forums.

I am assuming that this pertains to consoles

another quote from him is all 5 game-types will be released on all 9 maps on day 1.

Karkand will release 1 month after game release.

and Beta will be Caspian and Paris ......
