Assault Squad - Beta testing

[Parkaboy]

Pay to be a beta tester? There sure as hell is something wrong with that. I've played loads of betas, but its the first I've ever heard of having to pay to do it.

I hope they open it up to MoW players

Lets just say 1C is low on money to keep people working on Men of War projects. I'm not saying thats how it is, but its just a likely possibility.

Well they can blame their marketing department for that. It does seem strange that MoW has unofficial patches. So something within the company isn't 100%.

The games that I've played from 1C gameplay wise have been top notch. I tell people as much as I can MoW is the best game I've played that I never heard of as I happened upon it while watching game replays on utube.

Take MoW single player great gameplay, sounds, and graphics, but the acting, storyline suck so hard it would be laughable if it wasn't so dull.

Hey if me sending them £15 would keep MoW alive I'd send it to them, but if they are in that much need I cant see that little doing that much.

You don't pay for betas, you pay for gamepreviews and exclusive content. A beta or demo will be still free of charge available once we think the game is ready to be shown to a wide public audience.

With this system you can support the developers making a better game and instead of waiting for the game to be released you can grab it right away and try it out, as well as see it evolving during the development and maybe have some influence with your feedback.

Additionally a game preview features more content than a public beta or demo.

It's on summer sale this weekend for just 4,95€:

66% off because the beta is near end probbly. I would just wait for the full game, and if you don't have Men of War or Men of War: Red Tide, take that 75% off deal from steam.

Cheers I'm in for four quid.

Yeah they are way too slow with patches.. But most of the games 1C publish have a loyal fanbase, who check forums regularly etc.

it's got a ton of useful changes yeah, both units and interface. but is still distinctly men of war of course, nothing to worry about there. and yeah it is awesome to play in singleplayer skirmish aswell
