Fileplanet can suck my left nutt. Im not spending $15 on a subscription for a beta then Ill end up spending $50 on the game when it comes out. Then 30 more on some "cool" booster pack. Kthnxbye

Haven't found it as of yet, I'll just wait for the next stage I think, it still kind of annoys me that EA said something to the effect of only people who have played BF2 and know the game will get to play the beta, and then when someone who has invested over 500 hours into this game doesn't get it kind of seems wrong.

Seeing as how I'm a Liuetenant Colonel with almost 900h put into this game, you'd think I'd agree with you...but I don't.

Do you have any idea how many first sergeants there are out there? Maybe if you said that all Sergeant Majors and higher would get access, then I would agree.

If $15 is too much for you, then either get a (better) job or cut back on something that isn't necessary. $15 really isn't that much money.

What's even worse is that I paid $15 but all the beta slots are already taken. It'll be a few weeks until I can play.

To conclude, please stop whining. Everyone is in the same boat you are.

money goes to gas, food, insurance, girlfriend, my apartment, beer and weed. So what ever is left over.. there isnt. 20 dollars an hour at an auto body shop is good. But i really am not going to bother spending 15 dollars on something that isnt even finalised. Im spending to test the game for them? they should be fucking paying me to test it.

A few weeks from a few weeks ago is what I meant.

And yeah, about two seconds after I posted that, I got an email from FP saying I'm in the next batch of testers.

I would assume so. I think the stage 2 beta is just bringing in more people and possibly fixing a few things.

You do realise that you get more from a Fileplanet subscription than beta entries? Eg. I can quite happily download from FP at full speed (700-800 kB/s).

true,but its not surprising at all to find EA using this method of beta testing.
Ea says to FP,"hey wanna get 100 000 new subscribers,well let us distribute our beta through u only....evan though we only have 5000 beta slots open,that means u get 95000 pple sending u $15 for nothing",FP says DEAL....)

Well something like that.....sad part is that im one of the suckers that joined FP to get the beta....(

what's this $15 shit? i just paid 7 for one month and i'm going to cancel before the month is out. i think i got one of the last keys. 2142 is fun, but i don't think it's going to replace bf2 for me.

15 bucks aint much but i can wait to play 2142 but im not going to get a subscription to fileplanet just so i can play a beta..... i think so anyway....hopefully.....nah im gonna wait
