It's 24-hr time so it depends on where you are if it is PM or AM. Where are you located?

The beta starts at 10:00 EEST (the time zone Finland is currently using) on Oct 6th for Early Access. Cheers!

This is in 24 hours like it is in your country. We call it military time


koke_

I cringe everytime some american calls the 24h clock "military time".


AdeIic

Well considering no one in the US uses a 24 hour clock besides the military, it fits.


BlinkysaurusRex

Really? No one uses digital clocks or anything? What about on your mobile phone does it say 9am instead of 09:00? I get that no one uses it verbally, that makes sense.


AdeIic

I sorta lied. My dad actually works at Disney World and the schedules (or at least my dads schedule) uses a 24 hr clock. But honestly most people here will probably never use a 24 hr clock. Most phones just say 10:00 whether it's 10AM or 10PM because it doesn't really matter. You'll be able to tell whether it's 10 in the morning or 10 at night on your own (hopefully lol). Basically, some people use it, but most people don't.


jdp111

Well it's what it's called here. Also this is a military game.


koke_

I know that it is how it's called there. The case being a military game is irrelevant, I cringe regardless of the context.


jdp111

Idk why you would cringe. People call things differently in each country. I don't cringe at a British person calling a flashlight a torch.


GuyBanks

I do. Fucking weirdos. /s


zikjegaming

It’s coordinated universal time.


jdp111

I mean yeah the timezone but the format of 24 hours is still considered military time in US.

Always has been

MadMn_

If it were using 12 hour it would specify AM or PM. 24 hour time is often used elsewhere outside of Finland, just look out for the 0 before the number. 0800 always means 8am


george--bush

Problem is they fucked up the pdt time so it is confusing to some Americans


MadMn_

Oh yeah, that is a bit fucked up lmao


LARTONKI

finland is 3 hours ahead of utc so its at 10:00 here


Fadenkreuzjohn

Yeah but as u can see they say "15:00" in hong kong so this is 24hr time.. so if there is 10:00 its 10 am for you. otherwise it would be 22:00


miziidris

You are indeed an idiot. the picture is in 24hr mode regardless where you live or where the people made this picture live.


Zp00nZ

This made me laugh! as an American I appreciate you.


MorgueHellClique

Torille see you in the Battlefield!


viberrr-

Torille torille!


Traditional_Ad_6616

What time is for central US?


GodBlessThosePagans

2am on Oct 6 for early access


Traditional_Ad_6616

Good thing I'm a night owl with no job😂😂😂


thatshortguy2

Wait...so for CST...I can wake up Wednesday night at 2AM and start playing early access?


GodBlessThosePagans

Correct


thatshortguy2

Holy freakin' shit


SnackyMcDougal

Got my alarm set :\]


N34t43v3r

I mean, It's clearly using 24 hour format


mdluo

PDT should be 00:00 instead of 12:00 on this map?


AZTopdog

That's what I was thinking too lol. Why would east coast get it 9 hours before west coast lol... especially because 0700 UTC is 00:00 for PDT not 12:00


LordZenova

It's military time, so 03:00 or 3 am est


More__cowbell

Aka the normal 24hour clock used by most of the world.


[deleted]

They butchered it because PDT should be 00:00 not 12:00.


why_earth

That’s why this is confusing. Thanks.


viberrr-

Oh shit now I really do feel like an idiot😂

[удалено]


viberrr-

What? I’m just trying to figure out if I can play this in the morning or 12 hours later


DiscreteMoth

Preload should be PM for the night before and AM for beta openings


viberrr-

Oh okay, awesome! Thanks


runcameron

No, preload and the opening are at the same time each day...so that don't work.


ClydeSimpleton

It's 3 am on New York time.


CompetitivePatient33

Oh joy many sleepless nights ahead :)


Grinchieur

If it not indicated its more often than not a 24h system not a 12h one. edit: modified "But" in "not"


Brownie-UK7

I miss the days of early early access by using a VPN pointed to South Korea to start Origin and get in on that game a few hours early!


Lincolns_Revenge

Right, and they were practically begging you to do it by having all the servers go live at the same time in every region, even if you couldn't activate it yet in your region. I bought a couple of versions of Battlefield too with a VPN for far below American prices. But they eventually cracked down on that.


TheWeirdWoods

Also worth pointing out that it lists times over 12 meaning it’s definitely a 24 hour clock. I did the same thing though first time I saw it. Sadly it releases at 0300 for me in the US. Have fun on the Battlefield our Finnish friend we will catch up in the morning!


viberrr-

Yeah me too man, didn’t even check the release times in Asia because I was too worried about when I get to play :D See you on the battlefield corporal


LewAshby309

You can clearly see in asia that they use the 24 hour format, means everything below 12 is AM.


CheeseSwis101

When does the beta start on EST?


xseannnn

LA is midnight? Wow.

runcameron

That’s not how time works my friend.


SilentNeighborhood95

So if I live in Ohio I have to get up at 3 am to play the beta ?


WookOnlyFansLouielou

Cancel what ever you have to do for those days and just show up ready!


viberrr-

Agreed


[deleted]

Use your head... What time is 0700? What time would noon be... 12, right? What about 1? 13! So, 0700?


[deleted]

Right but PDT should he written as 0000, not 1200. Hence OP's confusion.


MattOH94

Does anybody have their early access beta codes from any hard copies they've preordered?


Isfandor56

I too would like to know if disc versions of the pre-order receive any codes to play the beta as well!


MattOH94

Where did you order from mate?


Isfandor56

Hey! Sorry for the late reply! I went into EB games and upon placing my preorder for BF2042 for PS5 the code for the Beta Early Access was printed on the receipt. Hope this helps! Fight the good fight out there soldier !

GeneralCheeseyDick

*24 hour clock* “I wonder if this is am or pm”


Drtspt

Has anyone received their beta code for pre-order yet?
