Wouldn't you think open beta would include all 3 conts? I guess they could be working OT to get the other 2 done but we haven't seen much of those yet.

it really depends on how they do it, theres 2 sorts of open beta's:

1: a marketing drive for people to try the game and build hype
2: large scale stress testing.

i think they would only use open beta for testing say a week-2 prior to launch to test their final server functionality, at that point id expect everything to be pretty much ready to go. they wont want to do an extended beta open beta because that means heaps of people trying the game, but nobody paying, giving the turnover rate of F2P games, this would be a bad idea for open beta to be going for awhile. using open beta as marking for a F2P game i see as been pointless too.

when i say open beta i mean: anybody can play.

id expect the game to be in closed beta, NDA dropped for the most part.

yes, most of them operate on valve time.

yea exactly. they will want to keep the beta as small as possible. but enough to fill a whole 6000 slot server prettymych 24/7 for a long period(say 1-2 weeks) to test how things flow...if they dont then i think the game could be in for some problems because world pvp games do really need extended testing.

See, there's being realistic and then there's being an ass just to mess with people. A few weeks does not mean half a year in anyone's time.

protip: if something is over 1hr old, its been posted and probably has a 5 page thread on it already.
