depends on if you are testing the server or the game client. Remember the more variables you throw at it, the harder it is to figure out what caused it.

Errrr.

That would mean that the 56 members of First Platoon all have very different kind of hardware (well yeah, tech test), and everyone knows that's not how they were chosen.

I call it bullshit.

They're going to let more and more people in the tech test as well... those first (rumored) 56 wont be the only ones... just first ones.

First Platoon and Technical Test are two different animals.

Agree with this. Pics or quotes or it didn't happen.

Again Technical Test, and First Platoon are two different animals.

I also hope they are aware that it might take those on DSL more than 12 hours to download the game client :P

Are they inviting outfits in First Platoon?

My understanding is that the whole First Platoon thing was something simply for that special forum SOE created to have discussions. First Platoon does not have any higher priority than we do in techtest/beta.

No, there are inviting people with certain hardware specs. If those people are first platoon or not, it does not matter.

To think that a little more than a year ago, I'd be googling "MMOFPS" in hopes to find some indie dev with plans to make a planetside-like game. I had no hope....

...Now we are about to get into something even better. The sequel to the original.

Can't fucking wait to drop a Gal bomb on someone just for old time sake.

So, can anyone speculate if the NDA is going to allow people to say whether or not they got a tech test/beta invite? You see, it's the anticipation that is killing me. I would rather know that I din't get in yet than sit here F5-ing my inbox all day.

If you don't get one by the end of the day, you're most likely not in the first wave. Keep in mind the first invites are very small and they will be working their way up from there.
