    I just got an email from Crytek allowing me to sign up for the closed multiplayer beta on Xbox360. Who else has signed up for it? The infromation was so vague, but it looks like it's just for a chance to get in. Not guaranteed. I'd rather do a PC beta but I'll take what I can get.

    Hardly, it was a PC exclusive that is now coming to consoles, ergo, they need to test that shit out on consoles and make sure it's running smooth for launch, they don't even need to worry half as much about the PC version.

    @FirePrince:  I have been on MyCrysis when it launched years ago, and Crymod before that and my account was carried across to the re-designed site when they relaunched it for E3. I think the beta offer was just to boost signups as all info about a beta was quickly removed from the site. As far as I can tell anyone signed up to the site should get an email offering them the opportunity to sign up for it. Not limited to the first few hundred people that signed up as previously promised.
     
    The phrasing in the email did say something like "Xbox only this round" so maybe they will be doing betas on other systems. I have both Xbox, PS3 and PC so maybe I can get in to all 3 betas. Don't forget though that Crytek dont have experience on consoles and Crytek UK only did a poor PS3 game for the current systems so a beta on consoles might be more useful for them to improve the service. They already know how PC multiplayer works.

    @Baillie:  It was an email, because I am a member of the site, so I can't post a link. Opting in for the beta is tied to your account it seems.

    @Baillie:  Well I only just got it, and looking at the forums (which I try not to do) people have been getting them since early this morning so maybe you will still get one.

    @SammydesinasNL:  No details at the moment. It's a closed beta so they are obviously going to have a hard limit (probbably a unique code to enter in to Xbox Live). Maybe 500? I'm just guessing I have no clue.

    @FirePrince:@Baillie:@SammydesinasNL: 
     
    An update straight from the mouth of Crytek, Cry-Lee:

    Hi guys, just to clear something up, this is not the Beta that people signed up to the website for, that will be happening later. This is a Closed MP Test event.
    This is mainly to 'stress test' our servers and to see how the game reacts to X amount of users playing it at once.

    If you do receive an email with an invitation, please make sure that you are able to participate, you will need:

    An Xbox360
    An Xbox Live Gold account

    Good luck to everyone!

    @Axxol:  MyCrysis.com, the 'other' beta they were talking about was for the first batch of people who signed up to the new site around E3. This one was emailed to members of the site who signed up whenever. Dont know if you'll get an invite if you sign up now though.

    Yeah, I figured as much, but I want to check out the site anyway. 
     
    Let us know when your beta starts.

    @Axxol:  It's not a great site. Has some good style but it was better before the re-design. I used to be a senior member there and one of the top posters but now... I stick to their other site, Crymod.

    I don't want to post on forums, I want to see more videos. I think the EA site is what I should check out.

    I just got the same email, and i clicked the link and it said "Application already Confirmed You have already registered your interest in the Crysis 2 Multiplayer Test".
     
    I remember signing up for the beta, but any Xbox 360 specific stuff. Does the email guarantee that you get an invite?

    @KaosAngel:  It's just a general invitation to apply. It's not saying "oh hey, you have an xbox. come play!". 
    @Forcen:  I don't think so, no. You are signing up for a chance, I believe is the phrase used.

    Also,it may or may not state that this only a stress test,a tech demo,behind closed doors,and the "real" beta is coming soon. 
    So I guess everybody will have a chance to see if they can run it or not.If it does run on my PC,I am getting it.
