otrebla_snake_ita 2 Posted August 18, 2009 Hi there, I was wondering "why doesn't BIS let us betatest its games?": OFP, ArmA - Armed Assault and ArmA 2 have ALL been released with a lot of bugs due to a not long betatesting period. Their products have all been patched and they've become fully enjoyable only after "a long time". So, why don't they let us betatest their games? They may be released "bug-free" and maybe less heavy don't they? ;) Obviously with "Beta test" I mean "Closed Beta Test" ;) =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Dawg KS 6 Posted August 18, 2009 http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=83704 We're working on a new plan for the best way to be able to establish more regular patches release, as well as to grant access to interim versions, to those community members willing to help us with testing various aspects of planned changes in the core engine.

There was even an announcement that beta testers for ArmA2 are required. There are also closed beta tests at other game studios and the games needs patches after the release so no real difference here. Should someone get any ideas about "they let us betatest - after we paid for" or something like that... Don't even think about it.
