Correct! Wondering why people asking after keys when noone have gotten keys yet? Hope CryTek sending out mails to the people who got in in the test very soon. Hopefully next week.

[quote]so has the closed beta even started yet?[/quote]

No

Let's hope the most of us will be accepted. )

[quote]so has the closed beta even started yet?[/quote]

Its still an announcement.

I can't wait ,
gonna keep my eyes peeled for news.

I like how the site is getting spammed with " where is my code" posts, if you have ONE post saying that i wouldn't think you'd get a code, also, this is still a test, don't call it a beta....


Anyone agrees that whenever there are news on a beta the site gets filled with spam?

Hi, I know how to obtain a code

OMG, i really want the beta code, how to get guys?

Don't forget that the website server gets really strained. Hell, say the beta word around here and Crytek gets a free and easy stress test on the website. I could not log in correctly yesterday and post for several hours until the number of users went down.

hello, I would love to participate in the beta test, since I have the 360 and a good pc, I'm a fan of crysis.

@Crytek
Is there any way to show ones interest in participating?
If not, how do you guys decide who gets to play it?

I got the mail, and accepted. I also have an xbox with live (Gold). Guess I have to wait and hope they pick me.

The amount of stupidity in this post (and many like it) astounds me.

I believe that Crytek either picks out the most diehard fans out of those who signed up, or they do it randomized.

Amazing how far we would go, right? Just to get in a test? I had stayed up till 2:00AM here in New Zealand at June just so I could join. It payed off. (I guess)

I got one of those invitations and within 3 minutes of getting it, I had signed up. How will people be chosen for it? Will it be who signed up first or random or what? And if this is just a test, what will happen with the beta?

i want to know to

Don't start threads about keys, the spammers instantly attack...

Note: They already attacked!!

[quote]the amount of codes are extremely limited and only a very few number of people that pushed the "sign up" button will be able to participate[/quote]

Makes sense, its a stress test right.

Probably on a first come first serve basis or completely randomized. I doubt Crytek will ever tell us how they select testers or people would try to abuse the system.

More like 3/4 of the people who are going to get it don't even have a 360 and are just going to sell the code on ebay.

Yup, got a point there.

So...I've been lurking the forums here to see whats going on with this 360 MP test. I got an e-mail, much like the rest of you, saying I've been invited to the test. Clicked sign up and got a confirmation message saying I'd receive instructions before the test starts.

Just so I understand: we were all sent an invite, but only a few of those actually invited got a key to participate?

If so that is pretty retarded and stupid on Crytek's part. That's like inviting all your friends to a party you're holding then turning around and saying "Oh, sorry, we don't have enough room for you, even though we invited you LOLOLOL."

totally agreed , i would of been more content if i didnt get any invite. to be invited and not let in , makes no sense at all . all the moderators dont comment on this because they realise , this is not the way to conduct a beta .
the only way for crytek to redeem themselves is to send a code of entry to those that were invited. daaaahh !!!!!!!!
