Battlefield veterans will already be familiar with the Rush and Conquest game modes on offer in the beta, and both will be playable on the Sinai Desert map, which supports up to 64-player battles.

Participants will also be able to try out the Armoured Train behemoth and rideable horses (which you can see a bit more of in the new gameplay trailer below), as well as three of the new Elite Classes - Sentry, Flame Trooper and Tank Hunter.

You can also sign up to the Battlefield Insider program before 21 August to be eligible for early access to the beta.
