BF2142 Beta Opens [Sep 07, 2006, 10:58 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
EA announces that beta testing of Battlefield 2142 will open up to another
10,000 testers tomorrow, with a paid subscription no longer required to test DICE's coming shooter sequel, though a
free registration is:
The Battlefield 2142 public beta period has been extended until Tuesday, September 12. In addition, due to the overwhelming response to the beta, DICE and EA have opened 10,000 new slots to the public.
The 10,000 new slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting Friday, September 8th at 10am PST. A free GameSpy ID is required to participate.
A new version of the tuning beta is also available now, which already includes more than 1,000 changes to the game based on feedback from the beta to date. Current players will need to download the new client, but no new access key is required.
The beta has been a huge success over the past two weeks, with more than 65,000 gamers participating, helping DICE secure a clean launch for the game on October 17th.
Yeh time to have some fun causing teammates to kill me so they get banned off the server.
There's no beta key release going on tomorrow! Everyone stay away from Fileplanet tomorrow!

Shhh we don't speak of the BF2 demo here or the fiasco that Gamespot had trying to host it.
On another note, with an anticipated "launch" date of October 17th for the full game -- just a little over a month away -- they must not be too far away from releasing the BF2142 demo. Seems like the BF2 demo was released ~2 weeks before the full game if I remember correctly.

Learn from the past grasshoppers. BF2 = BF2142 except with in game dynamic ads.
I love when people try to pass off advice on to others without any actual first-hand experience with the games they're putting down.
I think maybe the reason there's no link is because it doesn't happen until tommorow anyway.

I'd love to get in on it though if someone does come up with a link later on.

We don't need no stinking BETA!

This is open because it's really first-come first-serve, ie, anyone could get in. As opposed to them hand-selecting a few (thousand) testers.
I don't get it, I thought an open beta was where anyone could participate. This is just a slightly less closed beta than before.

I'm honestly surprised by how BF2142 is thus far. I was expecting a very tame-in-comparison BF:V to BF1942 kind of thing here, but they actually put some decent work into making BF2142 a highly enjoyable sequel. The engine still screams BF2 other than a few very pretty graphical updates, but the updated gameplay, new unlock system, and the Titan gameplay mode are all a blast to play.
I'm, honestly, enjoying the very-playable (though obviously buggy) beta more than I did the BF2 demo when it came out.

It'll probably take at least 15 minutes for all of those keys to get snatched up, right? If I don't forget about it I think I might attempt to get one tomorrow at 1pm EST -- wouldn't mind checking it out for myself...for free.
