So it begins.....

sounds like they are doing hardware tests on their beta servers.... considering when tb was there they did not have flak up and running yet i am guessing this is the sign that they are moving into internal beta and plan to give out some beta keys at e3 with a working demo (for everyone at e3 to play) of the game.

most likely this is just hardware testing going on... but good lord i hope this means we will start having beta tests around the same time as e3...

not sure tho if they are confident they might release before e3 to get some tweaking going but i severely doubt they will...

Some guy at Pro7 tweeted they were playing Planetside 2 beta yesterday.

"Hab ich schon damit angegeben, dass wir #Planetside2 spielen? Very closed Beta FTW! "

Happy dance.

To me this can only mean that beta has started.

Somehow I don't think it's quite that simple.
After watching TB's videos I don't really think the game is ready for beta yet.

He played an internal alpha, probably several builds behind at the very least.

It would make sense, at least to me, to have a very closed beta before a more public one. I'm sure SOE will want to get a head start on bugs associated with having many players online, before the mad rush that will be the official beta start.

Yea because everyone will just bitch about how broken stuff is instead of being structured and actually submitting bugs without the qq

Of course it is very early beta, where the first small wave of invites have been sent out. The next vid we see might have only have a hundred people playing. But this is how beta starts and like is says above "It has begun".

Well we can all agree it's coming along great. With hardware tests, an actual tweet about beta and the fact E3 is coming up I must say it is looking good!

As far as the game not being ready for beta... well, TB's test might have been on an older build... it is deffo older now than it was then :P and the problems they had with it then (at least what we saw) might have been easily fixed..

I love the month leading up to E3, it's like the gamers Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Festivius all rolled up into one!
