According to a series of tweets from John Smedley, the PlanetSide 2 beta will be delayed slightly to give the team more time to "make sure it's awesome". The beta is likely to begin on Friday of this week or Monday of next.

By going by that tweet alone (I know little about this game) it sure makes it look like the beta is definately a marketing stunt instead of a beta. |

Originally posted by Vannor Aren't most of them these days? Weekend Beta "events" for Rift, GW2, TSW, etc. Rift and TSW had fairly large closed beta testing as well, but the "open" betas were little more than marketing. Oh, and almost forgot TOR and the weekend betas for that one as well. |

Originally posted by niceguy3978 I wasn't implying other games don't do it as well. But the way thats been said.. if it isn't awesome they better be ready for a lot of negative reactions. The beta excuse just won't hold up. I do hope it is awesome though. |

The doctors say his chances are 50/50...but there's only a 10% chance of that. |

Ah, so that's why I didn't get an email today saying I got in to the beta. Just glad to have done the method of getting a beta key back when it was running :) El Psy Congroo |

Originally posted by PrinceDamien No, not sooner. Later. Later, and later. They announced the day it would begin and then shafted everyone. Not a cool way to start out. Many of us have been waiting months since they announced this. Some of us have had keys for months. I was even lucky to have all week off until Thursday... now screwed. So if it launches Friday I'll be working. Monday... be back to work. Good job SOE. Why did I think they'd actually pull through with their word when they said today (or tomorrow) would be the beta release.

Good ole Smedley. Not touching anything that man has to do with with a ten foot pole. SOE can put out any game they want, I'll never buy another one. |

Originally posted by William12 L2Read. And even F2P can be destroyed by John Smedley. Edit: Because I'm sure after re-reading you'll still miss it. I didn't say I wouldn't buy Planetside 2. I said I would never pay for anything made by SOE. So while the game may be free, I'm sure the typical money sink will cost real money. Which I also wouldn't pay to SOE. As long as SOE is the distributor or creator of the game, it's not worth the investment, even if it's FREE. |
