SupCom2 Beta is running.

[Col. Jessep]

Many of you will probably have suspected it already, there is a beta for SupCom2. If you don't believe me: There were several things that should at least have made you suspicious: Old fans suddenly posting again, post count of some pros increases although you will find no post in the main forums, the test forum to see if access restrictions work properly, some of the frequent posters have posted a lot less recently and finally: Friends of beta players see them playing online on Steam but there is no game shown...

The beta probably has been running for two weeks now and a bunch of experienced players are testing SupCom2 online on Steam as we speak. More news coming shortly, stay tuned...

well, still guessing, no proof.

EDIT: k i believe you

Jo, kann durchaus sein .

Here is something interesting for you to ponder. We all know Chris Taylor said veterancy would still play an important role in SupCom2, right.
You can see the veterancy of units in the UI:


The yellow bar

Question: Why do factories have the same veterancy bar?



Will factories produce units faster and for less resources when the gain ranks?

And they do gain ranks:

Interessting to know that there is a beta. Lol i want to get in it xD

But how did they choose the players for it ? And why the hell didnt they told us at least that they have a Beta ? That way there wouldn't be so many people whining about releasing a game which has never been tested :/

Anyway it is a good news.

Now this is a VERY good question!

If people knew there was a beta, everyone would whine about not being in the beta or whine about who actually is in the beta etc.
I would too, since I don't want people like RapierX, Scyn, etc. to dictate how the game should 'be'.

IMHO: I find nothing wrong with CT having a closed beta, heck, it may mean a more superb game when it's released. May mean less buggy, patching, balancing that will need to be done.

[Col. Jessep]

My thoughts exactly. Unfortunately Spooky is right. If the beta had been officially announced before it began the competitive players on GPG's forum would have torn each other apart because they can't agree on any balance.

There isn't much time left either, most of the changes will have to go into the day 0 patch, the gold version should already be in the DVD factories by now. Hopefully a short and concentrated beta will bring good results.

Aww I think I fit the bill of some of the things Jessep pointed out, but no beta for me Maybe I should try not posting as much harder!

If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before...
