Okay this is the moment a lot of fans have been waiting for! http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/12/09/company-of-heroes-2-to-enter-closed-beta-shortly-after-the-new-year/ on the closed preorder beta. Hope I get an email soon for the stress test beta. I think I manage to get a code for it, and it didn't reject it or anything.
