    silly newbs... paying to play betas has been going on for years now. It's nothing new. And I'd much rather pay Gamespot than Fileplanet.

    Pay to beta test? It should be get paid to beta test! (Like some other non big but still extremely popular developers do). Saying that, I was in the closed beta of C&C 3 and RA3, and ofcourse bought both (including the expansions). But I didn't have to pay for the closed betas then.

    This would not be the game that would get me to pay for access to beta.

    Gamespot

    I follow the link, but it keeps saying my code is invalid. I tried contacting EA but no response.

    lol

  • TroubleMaker411

    Posted Nov 19, 2009 7:51 am PT

    I guess it was a little harsh.
    an i apologise for that.

    But i get a little sick of trying to read messages on boards and forums for constructive critism of a game to see nothing but whining.

    especially whining about the same this that has been explained away a few times already.

    so i apologise for being harsh, but i do not apologise for thinking that one explanation should be enough and getting annoyed with those that don't bother to read the page before complaining

  • LionBeast

    Posted Nov 19, 2009 7:28 am PT

    TroubleMaker411 you have a point yet that was a bit too harsh lets put it that way. Who ever don`t want to play ok there are alot of members who got keys tryed the game and didn`t like it ask them nicely to give their registartion to check the game and if you don`t like it give it to someone who will.

  • TroubleMaker411

    Posted Nov 19, 2009 6:40 am PT

    Bloody Hell!
    People really need to stop complaining.
    "i dont want to pay for beta!"
    then DON'T. bugger off and let us that are willing to pay for the subscription enjoy the Beta.

    Gamespot have already said that they will offer more keys when EA opens the testing up.
    QUIT WHINING..... GROW A PAIR.... SUCK IT UP..... AND STFU

    why beta it is not free

  • blackleather223

    Posted Nov 18, 2009 11:21 pm PT

    Not gona bother with beta considering from what I have read it is terrible and I plan on downloading a demo if one is avalible and I plan to watch the videos of the game play but more then likely I'll end up buying this game just so that my collection will be complet. Even if the game is bad I'll still get it.

  • supertamal2000

    Posted Nov 18, 2009 11:14 pm PT

    crazy_M: and you forgot how much money they earn if the game is .. you know.. GOOD?
    just look at Mass Effect, Bioshock , GTA4 or COD4.

  • saurabhfzd

    Posted Nov 18, 2009 8:53 pm PT

    i personally think everyone should be rewarded for their hardwork. a lot of money and effort goes into making games. y should we expect them to give away Beta..for free.

  • thedementor360

    Posted Nov 18, 2009 7:59 pm PT

    i have the beta and installed it but when i try to login it says unexpectedly dissconnected from services can any one help me with this issue please. thx

  • dforster

    Posted Nov 18, 2009 11:18 am PT

    Please consider me for the Beta

  • ZeAN_MaVerIcK

    Posted Nov 18, 2009 11:02 am PT

    I Am agree with bjornbaek, the annoying anime gfx engine kills any wish to play this beta. Mby its just a mod, but why do gamestory awesome game shud have capture flag mod? P.S. I've been playing cnc since 95.

    Result: Back to CnC 3 Tib Wars. NO ANIME ENGINE!!!!!

  • Crazy_M_Tz

    Posted Nov 18, 2009 7:41 am PT

    Seriously, if you believe that the C&C4 BETA SHOULD BE FREE NOW; Command & conquer 4 should might as well be scrapped and cancelled. You think they're making money now but the cost to create a game these days costs more than £50m ($75m) on average. If they don't get any money then they can't fund their staff and as a result Command & Conquer 4 won't be made...... and EA can't break their promises to RA3 Premier Edition owners who paid more just over a year ago to get a BETA placement!

  • MarkAllan70

    Just remember guy and gals, this is a beta version of the game. Graphics will be better at release, as will gameplay. I hope
