1.1 - I know!
I was so pumped! For a game like MAG, they need to test it on the global scale.

Yeah you would think that they would need to stress test the servers big time.

It would have to be a pretty large invite only beta though... 4 games of 256, would call for at the very least just over 1000 users. And what are the chances that even half of them are online all at once?

1.4 - that's true.
I mean 256, a public beta would be great to help SONY stabilize the servers when this beast is finally released. I don't want another SOCOM on my hand.

Oh come on. I get interested in this game and all of a sudden the doors shut on me. Make a better beta. We can rebuild it. We have the technology.

This game needs a open beta and it needs to be early enough to make difference. To many things can go wrong, plus I want to play it as soon as I can.

Haha, of course! I REALLY hope Zipper opens it to the US audiences. But somehow, I doubt they will. If it is really releasing in November, we would have heard something.

Thanks be to Matthew in the highest.

Dude, not sure what article you are looking at, but there is a Thanks Matthew in there.

Also, your forum post isn't the source. The official EU PlayStation forums is the source.

for once EU get something before US you always get the betas 1st and sometimes only, but it sucks aswell as im no beta member.

You would think open beta to stress the servers they aren't going to get 256 player games i think they'll do like 100vs100 or 50vs50 but no beta no buy for me, i wanted to see if it could cope (the servers) fully with max players but if its a beta members only then no buy sorry but i'll have to wait and see when it all begins

i agree dragon

i just dont see why they are not doing open beta it makes more sense a massive game 256 players and a open beta would of guaranteed full lobbies and be able to stress the servers unless they are doing a closed beta (invite only) and then a open beta or one for US

There wasn't a thanks in there earlier.
But Kyles source was me, if I had never posted that he wouldn't have found out, you wouldn't have got your article and the internetz would be ...the same. :D

This game is going to be a technical mess SOCOM style if they don't do a larger scale, open beta. 256 online...seriously. Invite only closed beta? Yeah, have fun with that Sony, Zipper...seriously, I want this game more than any this holiday, but reg flags are popping up!
