Splunkjamma 10 Posted August 30, 2012 Hi all, As the title says. I found it pretty cool that there is a remake of Carrier Command as I was a big fan back in the day and was itching to get on to the beta. Since I have pre ordered from steam though I've got a bad feeling I cannot play the beta. Ho hum. Can anyone clarify for me? Cheers, Splunk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suranis 1 Posted August 30, 2012 According to this Preorder people should still be able to play the beta http://www.bluesnews.com/s/133922/carrier-command-gaea-mission-p+c-beta-ending But I dunno about steam people. Besides, steam is evil. *runs away from flamethrowers* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sadakr 1 Posted August 30, 2012 I hope and think you will get the beta if you pre-order on steam... if you do I'll buy it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Splunkjamma 10 Posted August 30, 2012 I hope and think you will get the beta if you pre-order on steam... if you do I'll buy it :) I will keep ya posted if I do. Nothing on steams end so far as the game is grayed out in my library. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainHaplo 1 Posted August 30, 2012 If you pre-ordered through steam - I don't think you get the beta. You have to actually sign up for the P&C beta program to get the beta is my understanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shivars 1 Posted August 31, 2012 meh, given that the trailer video on the Steam store page for CC says preorder to get the beta I think that's a bit shite. i dont really mind if the beta is restricted to people who order direct from BI but to say its a preorder perk *in the Steam promo* material is a bit crap. To check it, skip to 1min from the endof the video here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/65740/ tbf I preordered on the strength of steamworks integration and 3D Vision support, not beta access, but it would be nice...

Korneel 115 Posted August 31, 2012 Hi guys, Apologies for the confusion. The beta is indeed only available when you pre-order from Store.bistudio.com. The current video on Steam has actually already been out for a while, when Steam pre-orders weren't live yet - . Since we were required to place a video on Steam, we put this up as a placeholder. It's definitely not ideal, but we're planning to replace this video with a new trailer within 2-3 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Splunkjamma 10 Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks for the clarification Korneel. Much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainHaplo 1 Posted August 31, 2012 You can always cancel the pre-order and then buy into P&C. You get the beta and the game (through BI) AND pay less for it. Or you can do the Contributor path and get one from BI and one from Steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyfyre 1 Posted September 2, 2012 I believe steam can also provide beta access for pre-orders ive had beta access for one game i pre-ordered before on steam so it should be possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
