You dont have to pay for the beta download… Scroll down on the fileplanet beta 2142 page… there are the public stuff, with wait time…

heh…i got in the FP beta for free, after the whole “Pay to join the BETA crap” they opened it to people who justed signed up for a free FP username. I got lucky and got a key …

..but yeh, at first it was payed FP accounts only who could apply for the BETA

I figure it like this (I know I am rambling), but why woudl I pay for the BETA, and then turn around and pay for the game? I can wait until it comes out (mostly bug free…..ya right) and just go buy it. I figure the people who paid for File Planet are going to spend about twice what I will for the game, and there is not that much joy to playing a BETA, seriously. I work for a company where i get my hands on things that most people only dream about, and thats before they even know it exists, so I get my joy, one way or another……

Microsoft kicks her Beta for Free, AutoAssault (MMORPG with cars) kicks her Beta for Free, Seedler was for Free…..because all these Appz where not finished and very buggy, so they decided to make their Beta for free. Think about it….

EA Customer Whine Support How May We Help You?

Its ok for someone to pay money to Fileplanet to get “faster” downloads but to only allow those people to have access to the BETA is simply not fair, in fact, its borderline discrimination. I dont need a subscription to File Planet because considering the amount of files I actually would d/l from them it would be a waste of money. The Beta should be made available to everyone and have a built in reporting tool that sends the bugs, .dmp files etc. to EA or Dice for inspection, much like Windows has. This would provide EA with every possible tool they need to make the game better for the customer, every customer, not just a select group. I enjoy playing these games as a hobby, not a lifestyle like many people do. Some people will actually consume themselves so much into a game that they forget the world that surrounds them. I personally believe this is what EA/Dice’s plan is, to only cater to the individuals who spend 23hrs a day playing their game. I am not whining, cyberyelling, complaining, or anything like that, I am simply tryign to prove a point by saying EA/Dice should provide the BETA to everyone at no charge. So there

Now I’m starting to understand EA. BF2 was a beta for 2142. It’s all starting to make sense now.
Like when I’d had a gut full of the probs with Euro Forces to the point I wanted a refund. Their response “we do not give refunds”
That’s nice. Lets ignore that this customer whose spent money and purchased BF2 (and Special Forces) and wanted to spend some more. Lets tell him to just go bite the big one. There are enough new saps buying our products to keep us afloat!
They don’t care what you or any beta tester says, or BF2 would work fine, everytime.
Take heart that there are other products like Enemy Terrotory on the way that are being built by some real pros and that it will be released when it’s ready! That’s how it should be.

The BETA’s technically are free….like Nick said EA just goes after pay SITES and asks for a little profit from each download. It’s sorta rippn u off in a way but looking at it in a good sense…your getting an AWESOME game for about 3 bucks instead of the insane 60. So there are reasons to whine AND reasons to like it…just stop cyberyelling at eachother, geez…

Whats the fuss about? 1 Million People have been paying for the Battlefield 2 Beta for over a year now!

Anyway, EA just dont have enough money- im donating £50 a day to them – i see them as a charity.
Later this year, ill put my house up for auction and give them the proceeds.

They are such a lovely company

Tried the Bf2 demo and then bought Bf2 and it worked great! Then comes patch 1.3 to break everything. Till these people fix bf2 why in the hell would I help them out. Been trying to play 1.4 with still drops to desktop and connection problems. They should take applications on thier website to get a good mix for testing. The way they have it setup is only for the money. They are not instrested in working products.

I hope I’m wrong. EA / Dice prove me wrong.

Cant play Bf2 over 5minutes with out connection being dropped. tried everything, gave up a month back. My money will no be going to Ea /Dice , well @ least DICE

Sqitso $2.85 no big deal, but think about the people without an account signing up to get the Beta only to have to go thru hell and still end up with a game that does not work.

I hope im wrong just going by thier track record.

FYI- Sqitso STFU you talk out your as. get a job in development then comment you fark

Right.. what EA should have done is asked for applicants on their website like most other respectable companies do. By releasing the beta to only people that pay is not going to help atall. For all they know everyone beta testing could have high end rigs which won’t help. EA need to get you to apply, pick 250 with low end rigs, 250 with medium rigs, 250 with high end and then a few randoms, like people on dial up, or people with ageia cards and things like that. I’ll just wait for this beta to appear on demonoid, it shouldn’t take too long and if it’s not as buggy as BF2 then I’ll actually go out and buy it. So stop whining that people are ‘pussies’ or too tight to pay for it. I don’t see the point in paying $3 a month, even if it is cheap for download servers i’ll NEVER use, a magazine that i’ll never read and points to download games i could get via torrents.

TO Sqitso
I Agree 100% screw all the timmy’s who arent even old enuf to get a credit card to apply for fileplanet for a meesly 3.00 a month or rougly around there. Any person can whine and hollar about having to pay to get into a beta. I signed up for fileplanet to get fast DL’s..not because I dont have the time to wait, but because for 3 dollars, I get immideate service at 600+KBPS but also as a BONUS the betas…so anyone saying that EA and DICE are feinds…your right…im no real fan either…but you better deal with it cause you cant do anything about it!

I happen to be signed up, and a subscriber to the Founders Club. I didnt even know about the BF2142 beta until after i signed up. You are NOT paying for the beta. You are paying for the freakishly fast fileplanet download servers, hitpoints, and a mag subscription (if you choose to get it). stop whining. you knew it was gonna be this way. it always has.

To Sqitso,
Its very easy for you to sound so “big” and bash all the people who do not want to pay for a damn Beta considering you probably pay for FP and will be getting the BETA anyways. Personally, I will wait until the game comes out, tested, and mostly bug-free. But, this country was built upon business and everyone wants to squeeze as much money as possible out of anything they can. If I could make money by having somone do something I would normally have to pay for….I would, adn so would you. I can wait until the game comes out, BF2 will keep me held over until then…..EA rocks, but Dice blows penis……

Well i know $6 a month for bf2142 beta sounds tempting but im going stright to a bittorrent site and getting and if they somehow manage to keep it off them wel il just hack fileplanet, after i bought battlefield 2 the first day it was out i suffered with the bugs and the patches that did shit all so it seems wrong to make us pay for a beta.

Hell, if EA and FilePlanet can get people to pay for the beta, then more power to them. Welcome to America…
