Ithought it worked like this.

Closed beta -this is what they are in now. Sony employees are testing and tweaking.

Limited open beta- this is the one with 1000 people.

Stress test(full open beta) - this is where they try to pack as many people on one server as they can. I was under the impression that anyone could get into this one.

Saw the blurp in Computer Gaming World way back when. My first thought was 'Why would I pay to play a FPS??' and forgot about it.

Recently started seeing adds in CGW so decided to look at it again and was impressed by what I saw. With the servers under SOE control cheating and such will (hopfully) be kept to a minimum if not eliminated. After playing TFC for 3 years, Tribes 2 for a year, RtCW a couple months, BF1942 since release and Urban Terror for a month or so and seeing all the Aim bots, wall hacks and LLAMAS, paying to play on a cheat free, minimal llama server that encourages TEAM PLAY would be worth it.

Napalm: I'm 36 and still a semi-hard core gamer.

I seriously doubt there will be a no-holds-barred open beta.

I've been following PS off and on since PC Gamer released an artical on it back in there December 2000 issue. I was excited about it for a few months and really didn't follow it closely untill about November and December of 2002 when I jumped on the forum wagon here and a few of the other sites. And I've been following it closely ever since. It's like Sturm said you can go nuts waiting for the game to come out. Just look at Team Fortress 2 and Duke Nukem Forever see what I mean.

I've been following PS since early last year but I wasn't really into the forums and what not until I stopped playing Tribes 2 competatively. Being engulfed in the world that is Tribes is a very demanding addiction.

To quote Dave himself:

"After Exclusive Open Beta, we'll have a General Open Beta. "General" means that we'll be putting as many able-bodied gamers onto the servers at once as possible. This is a true stress of both server loads and the macro-gamebalancing that happens in the game. It's also the point in the beta process when folks will be generally just "playing the game" instead of focusing on certain areas of the game for testing."

This sounds pretty no-holds-barred to me.

Well I found out about this game 2 weeks ago suprisingly by one of my friends telling me about SWG which i thought might be cool but i dont really like star wars because they have made way to many games about star wars already they've kind of blown star way out of proportion. I don't really like the light saber any ways i'd rather have a vanu magrider and use its main cannon against a jedi and see if he can use his force against that...
Well anyways when i seen PS after i was done looking at SWG i was stoked! Since I've always been into FPS games anyways i thought this is it... this is the one... the game I've been waiting for so now I've been telling everyone i know about that likes FPS games.

Later guys...

Isn't this one of the signs that Christ's return is imminant?

Ive been following it on and off ever since it came up at E3. Althought until recently I haven't been gathering all the info from it, because I kinda forgot. So on/off would be a good way to describe.

the fact that he said able-bodied suggests there will be a LOT of people let in, but not unlimited
