If you don't already have a key for the open beta, your probably too late. I hit every EU site within 2 hours of keys going public I could find, and only ended up with one because someone on a different forum had a spare

L4D isn't out until November I think, and Ross just confirmed Fallout 3 is not reviewed next issue.

Looking at this month's mag it's slated to contain:

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
Warhammer: Age of Reckoning
Crysis: Warhead

The PCG team have been really looking forward to Hell's Highway, and I predict Crysis:Warhead to be crap anyway (or at least of no interest to me), so my money's still on WAR.

Prediction: They removed all the interesting bits, the RvR is broken, it ends up just like Warcraft/LotRO.

Registration site is getting DOS levels of traffic ( ), but once I'm in and I've played about for a few hours I'll let you know how broken it is

GOA have lost my custom. I don't expect a beta to work perfectly (That's why it's still a beta after all) but 4 days later they're still saying everythings going swimingly, everyone has access, they're awesome blah blah etc

Reality is I and seemingly alot of others, still havn't had our accounts validated so we can log in. I'm hearing great things from the US beta test though, so if 5punkers are going to be interested in playing WAR, make sure you get the US client. Rumour has it, EU players are getting a better ping on those than the GOA EU servers as well, but clearly I can't support that one. Whole thing is like watching a re-run of the DAOC EU support, and why mythic went with goa again I suspect few of us will ever know.

Bit pissed you can't have order/disorder characters on same server since I want to play chaos / orcs / dark elves and my TT Dwarves
