Beta tests you have participated in?

I was talking to a friend of mine who was boasting to my uninformed friends about being in the Halo 3 multiplayer beta and I remembered the few times I was in a beta test so I was wondering what beat test have you have participated in?

• Halo 3 (Every played this some point)
• Club Penguin (ugh)
• EndWar (With had an awesome NDA attached to it)

I was in the Modern Warfare beta, and hopefully I'll get into the Starcraft II

I was in the Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts beta, it was kinda cool to see something before anyone else, but the downside is the bugginess of betas. OH and I was in the Quake Live beta, and the Battlefield Heroes beta.

Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine, before the English version went open beta. I'd just rather forget the entire experience, to be honest. That game had issues that can't be resolved just by changing around some network code. Bleh.

A lot.

I was in the EndWar beta as well, and I tried to get into as many of those glorified demos as possible.

LittleBigPlanet
Uncharted 2
Battlefield Heroes
Wrath of the Lich King
Quake Live
Call of Duty: World at War
Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed

Not a game, but also the NXE

CoD 4, Warhammer Online: Age of reckoning, Battlefield Heroes

I have been in a lot of betas for some reason.

I searched my email for alot of betas i had forgotten about.

Past Betas (no order):
World of Warcraft
Tabula Rasa
Battlefield Heroes
Aion
Wrath of the Lich king
World in Conflict
Quake Wars
Battlefield Bad Company
Halo 3 (crackdown)
Red Faction: Guerrilla
Hellgate London
Fury
Battlefield 2142

- Bots
- Jak X Combat Racing
- Halo 3
+ some others

Call of duty: WaW and Battlefield heroes. Battlefield was when I had a computer that could play games.

Uncharted 2 Multi Player beta.

The only one I remember is CoD:WaW.

Just the game betas off the top of my head:

• Halo 3
• Killzone 2
• Uncharted 2
• Jak X: Combat Racing
• LittleBigPlanet

The only ones I can recall:

• Motor City Online (Promising, but not enough MMO interaction, and $15/month was way too much at the time.)
  
• The Sims Online (Absolutely horrible. Laggy and uninteresting.)
  
• Auto Assault (Was a lot better before they introduced a major patch to add "strategy," and was a bit too solo-centric.)
  
• City of Villains (Probably the most interesting of the bunch. Was pretty enjoyable all throughout.)
  
• Drift City (Typical Korean-style MMO with driving. A little too grindy for my tastes and fuel costs were a pain, but the multiplayer was decent.)
  

Way to many to list. Just about every f2p MMO out there and a few pay to play.

Guild Wars.

Giant Bomb Beta wooooooo!
Besides that none.

Halo 3

I was in the beta for that new Blood Bowl game.
Also am in the beta for Fallen Earth. Otherwise nothing.

Right now I'm in the Heroes of Newerth BETA, though I also recently participated in the Battlefield Heroes and Quake Live BETA programs.

Before that... I can't remember any, those might be the first!

Call of Duty 4
Call of Duty WAW
Shadowrun
Battlefield Heroes

COD betas seemed to be very successful compared to the others, I think more games should do this to help make it better. Why not?

Monster Hunter - First one on PS2
WoW: Burning Crusade
Warcraft III
Warhammer online
Halo 3
Uncharted 2
Modern Warfare
World at War

And I think I was in the Socom 2 beta, but I can't remember.

World Of Warcraft, Guild Wars, and a few other mmo's.

Modern Warfare
Halo 3
LittleBigPlanet

There's probably more but I'm forgetting things at the moment.

I was in the Socom Confronation, and Killzone 2 betas.

Betas aren't what they used to be.  These days anyone can just sign up months in advance and get in whatever beta they want.  I remember getting in the Civilization 4 beta due to playing Civ3 online so much.  We had to sign shit and keep secret the forum that we posted in.  Then at the end everyone that was in the beta got a signed copy of Civ4 by Sid Meier.
