name one mainstream game

Well, I'd ask you to define "mainstream," but the two that pop into my head right now are The Old Republic and Star Trek Online. I would count both as fairly mainstream.

Does that mean we have to be 18+ years old to get in right now?

I would assume so.

Remember, this is a beta test and not early access. They're inviting people to test and provide feedback not just derp.

Yes, you need to be 18, and able to enter into a legally binding contract (the NDA).

Congrats to the first 1,000 secret Beta Testers.

Not sure. At first they said they'd do 1000 over the next week. And the same/very next day they did 1000 at 1 time. Now they added another 500 the day after. You're at the whim of the whimsical wizards of beta bids.

[HellJumper]

^^ ya man thats why i got confused as well...cause if its like 1000 keys for 7 days and they have already given out another 500 keys, that leaves us with 500 keys only for next 7 days..which will be like less than 75 keys pre day

[Faenwulf]

Looks like they abondoned that Idea completely, since there are already 1500 keys out there instead of 1000 (if they didn't throw 500 people out, that is).

But that means that more people have the chance of getting in. So everythings fine, isn't it?

[Ant0nm]

I thought it was 1000 ppl/day from the beginning. I've learned not to trust any of the beta related news.

thats what we all think..but the devs said... 1000 beta keys over next 7 days...

so...

[Ant0nm]

but the facebook thingy said "The first 1,000 Closed Beta invitations go out!" Which was implying that there is going to be another batch incoming soon.

The original plan (that was announced).. was 1,000 Beta invites over 7 days... they condensed that, and did them all at once. They have since followed up with another 500 invites that went out late last night.

apart from profile, what increases your chances?

do you practice Santeria?

Actually, I lay odds that it more based on gamer demographic than anything else, followed by computer capability. Even though I and my demographic are a bit older with more disposible income, familiarity with the MW-based video games, and computers that can run anything, we are likely the last group to be considered for CLOSED beta testing (since we would adapt more quickly to another MW game than someone who has, for instance, played a lot of twitch games). The Open Beta, which will be available to a broader audience, will shake out the niggling bits left after the larger core demographic takes care of the gross things needing attention/polishing.

I guess nothing "increases" yoru chances per se.
It propably depends on what the devs are looking for: specific system specs, players from certain regions (heres hoping they don't only pick NA-Based players), people new to battletech, people who know their stuff etc.
