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.
I've been in since day 2 or so of the beta, and as much as i wanted to hate the game, i keep finding reasons to like it.
i'm an old school FPS vet from 3Wave days and i'm very picky about my games..FYI.
sure there are issues in the game, such as inconsistant damage or random hitscans (although, they sure did seem to fix the hitscan on beta 2).. but overall, the game is fun.
and let me tell you.. the first time i attacked a titan i had serious Tribes1 flashbacks. I wish there were a few more automated defenses that were useful (like the tribes built-in turrets, or cameras, better mines).. but maybe those will exist in the other titans.
anyhow, the game has a few issues i'd like to see worked out, but overall, it's a fairly fun game, if for no other reason the titan attack/defend scenarios.
