Hmm, redirects to uk.gamespot - didn't do that at at home. It is supposed to be a US-only beta, but I thought the stress test was open to all.

I used hidemyip to pretend to be in the US and got a key that way.

Hmm, kill 6 of these, and what's that? Kill 6 of these too.

you can't play the side of evil so is a non starter for me
