yup, take your point, but we have had no news about it in that time other than what the lik tells us, but throughout this time we have seen hundreds of people who seem to have no knowledge of these details

Tthey heard the word Beta, and jumped on the wagon, creating a new thread instead of reading the many existing threads that gave all the relevant info.

On the other hand some people, as you say, are wondering what is happening, and waiting as they have from the start, but paitiently.

The link is after all, the only information we have had since the outset regarding the Beta, and is pretty much what Crytek intended at the start, the point of the thread is just to remind the people who demand and expect, what the intention of Beta is.

I have first hand experience of bug reporting as i have said, and the kind of rants rages and so on, that these people post when they decide, even not having paid for the privilage, that they dont like it.

I meant no offence, [/quote]

MoH doesnt even count as a beta when havent even patched it once. o.0

I have done a couple betas, some closed and some open.

I agree with pizzahut though, it would be nice if Crytek could clear things up a bit. They took down the beta information a couple days later and havent once even had the word beta in their posts (must be covered by NDA).

Apparently, this will prove to be a dramatic change when the game releases, lol, seems backward to me but still, Beta it is, complete with bugs and glitches.

this Beta subject for Crysis 2 is a real tease, and its time we heard something by now,

having only signed and with being a 'noob' my take on it, which will be suprising to some, is that the original signups should be entitiled to a key rather than those that have only recently signed up. first come first served IMO.

I was fortunate enough to be involved with IW Modern Warfare 2 closed beta, and as stated we were told to report and glitches, problems etc we found and to input some constructive criticism.

I think too many people view the beta as a chance to 'try before you buy' hence the attitude that they are entitled to a key

and as I have said, god help if they dont like when they try, lol.

From how EA and crytek have been advertising the game which basiaclly has been keeping a pretty tight lide on the game im guessing that the beta will be closed and small for just a select few people to give feedback...
i remeber a post or posts up near the top it think couldnt find talking about how the bfbc2 beta was large and was a way to advertice and i completly agree with that i remeber playing with a guy that started cursing because it was glitchy i wish i had a head set to say something to him

ok. first of all, if you dont get the beta key, who cares. watch videos that people put on youtube. its still a good way to see what its all about so far. Some of you are right. The fact that people on this forum are 4 years old and just want to play the game rather than actually TEST it out, defeats the purpose. So all you cry babies that keep complaining, just stop. its not going increase your chances of receiving the beta access from crytek. Id just like to point out, to those who get acess to the beta, DO NOT recommend to change the hud/binoculars. They are sick IMO. I hope crytek doesnt change the entire game like they did in crysis. ALSO, do NOT recommend a wrist band for the nano-suit....! To those who tell crytek to lower the graphics because they have a close to garbage computer, get lost. its your fault, not crytek's. If you cant handle the game, dont buy it. Simple as that.

wow calm down i can understand about the beta and all the people that just want it... but the entire time ive been here i havent herd one person say that the system requirements should be lower its more so make it look better or high system requirements.
but im guessing you were just trying to make your point

pirate, my paragraph wasnt directed towards you my freind. but yeah, crysis 1 release was very frusterating for me and i just wanted to get that point across regarding graphics and peoples systems. Is it not why crytek downgraded their graphics 200% in crysis? what im trying to say is, when people start playing the BETA and they see that they are lagging, they shouldnt use at as an excuse to complain about the graphics and have crytek lower them just for their needs and ruin it for everyone else. i beleive that IS what happened for crysis 1. correct me if im wrong.

Yes it is moderated
No I dont think post counts for much
This is what Crytek said.

http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/2010/06/11/crysis-2-beta-incoming-is-selective/

and as I said, I hope all who want get, all I want is the finished product on my shelf.

As you found the time to come and be highly critical, dont suggest we got nothing better to do, I only checked in three times today, otherwise been well busy.

If you cany be constructive, why bother, as I wont lose any sleep at all over your comments,, doubt anyone will, no offence.[/quote]

only checking in 3 times? ha.. you spend all your free time here talking about a game you barely know anything about. I wasn't being "critical" before, I was merely suggesting doing other things but I'm sure when you aren't losing sleep, you're dreaming about posting about the crysis2 beta. I will laugh so hard if you dont get in, mr 500+ post boy.

On topic: "Beta is not guaranteed for everyone"..
No ****. Moving on..

@BlackOp8XI - In regards to 50 spam posts for one image, it was probably forum bug related and it should've been cleared up now. If not, please post a link.

As for the rest of it, please put your swords down and play nice everyone

@BlackOp8XI:
You're pushing yourself against the edge of the cliff. Better for you not to do that.

@Poom Belt:
Agreed. Most people will confuse the Beta as a demo (Although some know what a beta is, and what a demo is). I think as long as Crytek choose the right people, then that's what matters. Have fun and enjoy the Beta, but do your part and contribute. After all, anyone who does get into the Beta is helping Crytek fix the game for bugs/glitches.

Or helping Crytek by discovering that the game is fun and then buying it when it's released

And Crytek doesn't seem to like demos anyway:
http://www.develop-online.net/news/34545/Crytek-foresees-the-end-of-free-game-demos

There's no law which forbids that a beta is used for promotion!

That's true.

I'm not fussed on how Crytek approach the Beta, as long as the people who participate help Crytek find the bugs/glitches, they can also have fun!

Its cool, I just think people need to stop making threads about the beta, asking when its going to be released, or like this one stating the obvious(what a beta is).
Like I said before, the good folks here at gamesas.com will let you know when its time

But just to be clear, this post cant be such an obviouse point if even BlackOp8XI is tired of people makin posts demanding beta, in point of fact its the opposite of all those threads BlackOp8XI refers to, and cant be by logic, The same ol s**t

I simply thought it might help to slow those posts down a bit if those people got some insight, I didnt expect BlackOp8XI would have a prob with that, who knew,?

@ BlackOp8XI, i have spent the ( Beta )part of most days running the MoH Beta, and have only been in two three times a day for last three weeks, as for me knowing about this game, this isnt a competition on how well I know the game, it doesnt even matter one iota.

I am a fan like most others here, and played it from the outset first release, and completey enjoy its flexibilty, and its continued following, Seems you find that offensive, I think I was very clear in saying, I am not so concerened about having the Beta, just getting the hard copy on my shelf asp.

So please laugh anyway, I am not concerened about anyones post count least of all mine, as long as I get the game then we can all be happy, unless my having Crysis 2 is also a problem to you

Back to topic.
this thread was for all those who think Beta is owed to them, again please read .

@guess600
Cool story, bro

Guss600, by these guidelines, we are safe to assume that Crysis/Wars are BETA games.

I wonder how many Betas they are actually giving out though. It will certainly be interesting to see.

Crytek mentioned waves of beta.

Of course, none of us know exactly when the Beta starts. I can assume they'll be quite a few.

A thread worth remembering, the real limitations of Beta/Demo.

No official info has been released of a beta, there hasn't even been any announcement of one existing before release.

Yupp...
I don't know how many times I have written that in here but it is quite many!

I was Afraid this was going to be mentioned.

Is this a confirmation that the "sign up to gamesas and get beta invites" announcement was untrue/incorrect?

It was a 50/50 chance, we can't argue with that.
