I have read the FAQ. What I'm complaining about is the way they sent those e-mails. It's kind of misleading. So take your condescending tone somewhere else.

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."

Well, from what I've heard and seen, the invite was sent out to give people who had an Xbox 360 and gold subscription a chance in the MP test, as well as to gauge interest in such a test. I'm quite sure it was clearly stated several times in the email, that it was just a chance and not a guaranteed spot in the MP test :S So I personally can't see why people should be angry/annoyed at this.

Everyone want to have key (me too)

At least there's a new wave on the way.

I still think it's misleading to title the e-mail an invite when it really isn't, it should title it as a chance to participate in the MP test. Anyway, no use continuing to bich about it at this point.

And to the above poster, is there a new wave? I recall from the FAQ that they didn't plan on any more tests and such.

Its still in planning phase.

There will not be any more keys sent out until the Beta is released, or maybe some stress tests for the PlayStation 3 and PC versions.

Ragarding "new wave"

Will more keys be handed out? Surely 'X' amount isn't enough!?
We're well aware of how to run a test, and a lot more than 900 keys were sent out to gamesas alone I cannot provide full details on the test but in a general sense the scale is quite 'small' as I have mentioned before.

To answer the original question, no, no more keys are being sent out for the technical test of Crysis 2 MP on Xbox 360.


Regarding beta

Will there be a full beta for Crysis 2 at a later time?
We currently do not have plans for a large-scale multiplayer beta, but as development of Crysis 2 continues we may evaluate the option at a later point. We will be certain to keep you informed on gamesas.com.



That FAQ is getting a lot of use...

Thank you for your top notch post. It's almost as if you work for Crytek!

Thank you for being another whining child!

Sarcasm=whining?

Nevermind, pretty pointless to keep this up.

LOL. Good idea.

Hi guys,

We've left this thread open as it was one of the oldest/largest threads discussing this topic. As stated in the FAQ, there won't be any further keys handed out which means no further waves of invitations either.

Feel free to continue [without the flaming] discussion on the 360 Test in the FAQ

Cheers.
