Pre ordered back around February then kinda forgot about it til now. Do we just get emailed a code to download the game, or is it gonna be some more complex process?

[Aidan Crenshaw]

so, did you redeem your mwo preorder boni? The keys to these are and the keys to MW5 will be provided via your profile on mw5mercs.com.

[Brizna]

I think you basically have to install EPIC's spy-ware and download it from there.

Gonna be a code that you'll have to redeem in the Epic store

Usually it would involve login in on a site where the key would be shown

They have not said if they'll just mail the code, but I dare say that having a section to login on Mw5.com would be easier to implement then having to deal with lost emails or that have gone to spam or something

Judging from past experiences with other games, it's a mail with a login link where the code will be shown

What he said

[LordNothing]

beta access got bucked to the 26th. idk when we get our keys. does not appear to be anything on mw5mercs yet.

[Trystan Thorne]

Hope we'll get the keys in time and hope we'll see some new gameplay soon.
About a month left till release, so a little bit of hyping up MW5 would be nice.

And as already mentioned, I suspect we'll get our keys via the MW5 webpage (we got allthe codes for the MWO stuff there too).

[FRAGTAST1C]

There's still a MW5 Modding AMA to come soon. The actual game is scheduled for a Dec 10th release and the demo is set for Nov 26th, right?

Correct on all accounts.

I'd be getting nervous right about now, were I a pre-order holder. This doesn't look normal a month out before release... no new gameplay vids. No new screen shots... no promotion of any kind. It is as though they're going to drop the game without so much as a peep. Kooky.

But there was a peep already. Or rather a tweet when Epic Games made that 1 tweet a while back that got a bunch of backlash from the fortnite crowd. Behold the much vaunted Epic Games Store “visibility” in action!

I'm thinking that we will see a key listed when we log in to our MW5 account on MW5mercs and then we redeem it in the Epic (failure) store.

I can't help but think that a MW5 specific forum would be good for questions/FAQs/conversations like this.

nah, its been that way since refundgate. instead of planning for the release of their game, they are putting all their efforts into the launch party. because priorities.

its not like sticking some cheap forum software on a server is hard. mod communities can do it, why not professionals? at least add an official mw5 board to off topic or something.

They're going to do what they always do release a somewhat finished game and call it beta.

Beta accesa turned into a demo and the game is now early beta,. Have fun

still maintain that its not a demo either. demo is pre loaded to mean 'try before you buy'. i like to call it exclusive early access which is the most honest name for this kind of thing. though calling it beta is still acceptable because most games never get past beta before their devs stop working on it, if were being honest.

Don't forget the most important part:

In a year, they'll take the BETA sticker off of the game logo and call it FINISHED*.
