BF 2142 Beta

Ziycon

I hear that the Beta is only going to be open to File Planet subscribers, can anyone tell me if it will be available to non-subscribers after awhile??
Also does anyone know of a date when the Beta will be available??

So you want to Beta test EA software?

If its on Fileplanet it will probably stay there, EA have put things on there and left them and sometimes others got them a few days after, but if its a serial req beta torrents be of no use.

The beta will almost be only for FilePlanet subscribers (€30 a year I think).

When you try to subscribe though you get taken to this page :

http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/bf2142/subscribe.shtml

which doesn't like Europeans it seems.....




Though I did find this...



"Although a number of opinions have already been formed about the Battlefield 2142 beta, I've been sent a message from Colin Clarke [EA) that may change some of those. Here's what he had to say:

EA & DICE will be distributing codes through our regional managers that will allow players direct and free access to the Tuning Beta. We have contacted many groups already to bring them into the Tuning Beta and will be opening the doors wider to allow for a great experience. Players should keep their eyes on the official EA Battlefield news spaces and their local forums for more information on EA & DICE VIP key distribution."

If people have to subscribe to play a fracking beta... EA have no soul.

I'm still buying the game though

I saw some figures a couple of months ago showing that over 20,000 active BF2 players have Fileplanet accounts (based on patch downloads) I guess so that's probably more than enough for a beta.

I take it BETA is different than demo right?

They'll release a demo right?

beta is the stage where they have everything for the game in there, but it's got to be tested all together to make sure it all works right.

though these days public beta's are closer to a pre-release demo, single/small number of levels, just call it a beta so ye can't moan if it doesn't work(that and they can fix[in theory] those problems so it all works by retail release)

Instant Karma

i just heard the invite-beta is out next week, and this is followed up with an open beta later in the month...i'm not sure how reliable this info is but if it is that means we should all get a chance at it.

Probley also means ETQW will soon to follow if not before.:p
Good news is we should have POE2 to keep us content till the Beta is sorted out (if ever debugged knowing EA):D

I hope etqw follows soon behind. Its sorta like a poker game now though, each company trying to out bluff the other, which means we as the playing public should win. Hard to see though.

I wonder how long after the closed beta will the warez groups release it?
