You owe us a beta!

[QUOTE=Apples;229714]Sorry to sounds harsh, and its not toward anyone in particular but usually open betas are full of moronic whiners who dont have a clue at all about gaming mechanics and just whine to get this or that nerfed down. They dont care about obvious bug / exploits / teambalance / well designed map (tho I trust SD in this) etc etc.

And for a closed beta its usually another problem -> who decide who is or who isnt qualified for the job?

So as far as I’m concerned I would rather see a demo than a beta.

Aye, remember ETQW and the clans that used the beta to get a first look at the maps and created tactics to gain an edge in competition.

Demo is a must, it will likely be a big factor in whether I buy the game or not, it will either compound my suspsicions or suprise me, im not getting my hopes up.

Well that’s kinda a good thing. It’s the people who treat it as a demo that can cripple any momentum a game might have in marketing.

No, it wasn’t a good thing. The clans kept all their tactics and feedback to themselves because if they’d posted about them on the beta forum then everyone would have known about them.

That’s kinda a bad thing.
