There are vets in the First Platoon, but it's not all vets, and not all of the vets are in.

You'd think they would be smart enough to go through individual posts on the forum though and realize all the good ideas that I have and invite me seperately, I fear the game will suffer from my absence.

I would hazard a guess at it being a form of marketing to increase their customer base and the number of people in game. I have suspected for some time now that they have a lot invested in PS2 in terms of company success.

Mr D Smart may beta keys for Last Line of Defense

For those ludites who only are interested in the remake of prehaps the greatest game ever made this one looks like the mutts nuts (literally). To cut it short it is the only up and coming truely innovative MMOFPS to hit the market and looks like a true graphical heavy weight beast to boot.

Check it out you know you want to.... Tweet Mr D Smart you will be guaranteed a reply

Well, honestly, good. They are doing things in a structured, measured way, that bodes well for the final product.

I never see fortune on anothers part, as a misfortune on my part, so this is simply... progress...

Yes but I'm actually smart as well, I did an IQ-test once and got a 86, I am 86% smart which is much smarter than the average person since I imagine they would probably be at like 50, since it's the average in physics.

It will suffer even more from the absence of your humility... Joke for a joke

Seriously though, I think that has already happened, for many. Those guys spend a ton of time here, even considering the time the name is listed, but they are not actually viewing anything.

The people in the First Platoon are 'seen' to be better, more objective testers. Thats pretty much why.

There is a perceived higher chance that their feedback will be more valid than some random on here.

Which to be fair, is a fairly justified assumption.

Basically this, there job right now is to test the finer things, like if RoF to low or High on TR, or if the NC guns are to unforgiving vs a massive group who scream "They killed me thus are OPED!"

The massive beta will be there to test how things go in Real large scale combat.

Don't you need large numbers of people to do any testing for this game though. I don't see how you can test ROF and stuff without the numbers that the game will have.

If they balance weapons on small pops we will see COD ttk like at E3 and the game will probably be unplayable in mass scale.

Some people I never would have expected to get all whiny, are gettin whiny.

Who cares about this? It's not some secret that was held behind our back. They opened up the forums to some community leaders. What are you fellows getting on with?

It shocks me that people crave drama enough to post thinly veiled whines about not being invited in to Super First Squad!!! Trying to make it about communication isn't working.

Other than that, cool.
A huge company taking advantage of internet peoples. I can dig it.

It's lucky they're not testing yet then.
