EA/DICE announced the end of the open beta period today, and now it’s up to them to polish and patch up the game before its official release on October 25^th next week.

To celebrate the end of the beta, the released an interesting infographic with random stats collected over the past few weeks and there’s some pretty interesting stuff: 47 billion shots were fired during the course of the open beta, while the longest headshot recorded was 635.6 meters away.
