If this is a "happy Friday", I'd HATE to see a Merry Monday!

Edit: Unless of course, I'm one of those picked on that Monday. *crosses fingers and holds breath*

I wouldnt assume that 1500 invitations are received within minutes. Each account has to be switched to Approved status and access turned on. Exactly how long it takes I wouldnt guess but Im not going to pull my hair out for at least another 48 hours to several days. These things take time and time is HOPE around here.

well If I don't get invited to help give feedback about bugs and game mechanics, there's always the opportunity to help stress test during open beta. If you want my advice; stop watching the water or it will never boil

I hate seeing pending so much, i am practically afraid to look at my screen when i hit refresh.......

Yep, shows they are ready to double the number of beta testers and increase the load. Very good sign. They are ramping up to release in what 5 weeks? Rock on.

Either that or they are discovering that that sending random invites is a lot like direct mail advetising, you only have a 1% take rate, while the rest of us, who are actually interested and available sit around with our thumbs up our butt on the F5 key

Thank you again for not inviting me to the beta. Why would you possibly want a person who did the closed betas for all of MW2, MW4, Mech Commander 1 and 2 and Heavy Gear 1 and 2.

Not quite. Your status won't change to whatever's after pending when they issue the key. They mail it to you, you enter it on your "redeem key" tab, and _then_ your status changes.

All they have to do is to mail out the keys and wait.

Well la-tee-da Mr. Special. I bet if you asked everyone they would all have some reason they are a better choice than the next guy.

In the mean time, the selection process is usually random. There's no way the devs are hand picking everyone based on good wishes and resumés.

Btw, that brings us to 4000 people chosen if my math is right. Remaining chances are now X * 1/196000. Sadly this only puts us at ~0.515% chance per 500 chosen.

That means I have been slapped in the face 4000 times now, thats what I call being slapped silly, I know I can take 138000 more but after that its gonna get a lil sketchy

[JediMindGorilla]

very nice. Good luck to all who got one and enjoy!

[Armageddon]

This can't be true. I check my email, nothing.

Once again, Congratulations to everyone who got in. I am jealous! Enjoy.

[dogowar]

Well still no beta. Well done to those who got one and please test the hell out of it so we get a great game in the end.

probably because it is random..as has been stated before

besides if they aren't going for quality people with testing exp it's more than likely a matter of testing builds and stress on the servers

you wouldn't let a bunch of chimps in your cool new hyundai (lol) without having some measure of control in place, all they'd do is spit and **** on the leather. you put the subdued well-dressed suburb dweller in that bad boy and let him drive to the grocery store(lol).

im pretty sure this CBT has very little to do with finding bugs and more to do with testing hardware

Still pending

Face the PENDING bar head-on! Overcoming the fear of PENDING is what paves the road to glory!
