Red Alert 3 Public Beta Starting Soon

25 Jul 2008 at 04:56:09 by Paul Younger

The latest news from EA and the Red Alert development team is that the public multiplayer Beta test of the RTS sequel will be launching soon. The 'Friends & Family' Beta has already been running according to the development team to iron out any technical issues.

A new set of Beta test forums have also launched in prepartation for the testing process. Beta testing is expected to get underway later this month with invites going out periodically over the nextsix weeks.

As mentioned on our official website, we will be rolling out the Beta Test activation keys based on the time in which you registered on our beta test website (http: //www.ea.com/redalert3beta/) with the serial key from the insert contained in your copy of Kane's Wrath. We may also consider the country in which you reside as a component for when you will be activated in the public queue as we are aiming to get global feedback in as much as possible for our beta test. When we activate your key you will be sent an e-mail with your Red Alert 3 Beta Test key with instructions on downloading and installing the beta. If you registered for the beta test within the first couple of weeks, it is very likely you will be activated close to our first public launch. We will then continue to ramp up and activate registrations weekly, and potentially even multiple times a week. We will activate registrations primarily based around the status of our software. Certainly if we are experiencing any critical issues, we will halt activations until they are resolved. It is our intent to start the beta test small, and make every effort to quickly ramp up to thousands of players in a matter of days and weeks throughout late-July and August.
