News: Planetside 2 beta plans

[GhettoPrince]

Yeah, it's still way to early to worry about this, I don't expect to see a lot of people getting in for at least another 2 - 4 weeks.

If you want to practice your FPS skills check out the steam summer sale. I just got Deus Ex and the DLC for 10 bucks.

I am ready to do my part to make Planetside 2 the best FPS of 2012.

Tech Test is first phase in closed beta....

You say that the initial invites will be based on your need to test a variety of hardware specs and that vets are automatically flagged for beta so they don’t need to register. So then how do you know our hardware specs?

Right, and if the emails havent been sent yet,then we are not "in" beta. Anywho, just thought that meant that he will cut his hair when we are "in" beta. IMO I really dont care that much and I give him mad props for doing it, just not where I thought the agreement was...

You should fill out the survey that is presented to you after logging in to planetside2.com website with you account you signed up with beta...

Listening to the Planetside 1 soundtrack at work and having a minor heart attack every time my inbox goes "Bing!".

This is going to be a long day.

Have your tin foil hats standing by, rumour is rumour from a guy who knows a girl who's brother had a haircut today:
Currently there are 444 internal tech testers (this bit was tweeted by Smeds I think)
First wave of 56 external tech testers will be notified today. (yes notifications are going out today apparently, exact numbers unknown but very small amount confirmed)

*now hats ons...
There are 56 members of First Platoon.

Oh wow, that's a small number. Heres to hoping that they would want to make sure the game runs on my ancient system!

Hopefully that'll stay a rumor.

56? thats quite disappointing you would think you would need at least a few hundred for a proper technical test.
