Dust 514 Beta for Everyone? New mail from CCP

[Jarnis]

Just got an email which seems to be a legit one from CCP.

The gist of it is this;

" The EVE invasion of DUST 514 has begun, so get set to dive into the free-to-play, massively multiplayer sci-fi shooter that IGN.com has heralded as "the deepest FPS you’ve ever played".

We’ve opened the DUST 514™ closed beta to present EVE Online subscribers, and that means you! Follow these instructions to get your All Access beta pass and jump into the massive ground-war set to erupt, exclusively on PlayStationŽ3.

Enticing, but not enticing enough to get a PS3...

Edit: I hope this doesn't mean that CCP just doesn't have enough people to :care: about Dust beta so they have to basically open the doors wide in order to get enough testers to keep beta games going?

Not planning to buy a PS3, who wishes to get a redeem code?

following conditions apply, only through PMs:
- commit yourself to relay all info within the dust514 ingame text that provides tidbits of lore or fictio information (i'm a lolrpfag i need my fix)
- describe all points of "potential" interacton of DUST514 and EvE that could be exploited for profit (BPOs, contracts, etc)

if you abide, i'll send the redeem code.

I sure as fuck ain't buying a PS3 for this,so if someone here has a friend who desperately wants to play DUST for some reason and you already used your code I can give you mine.


Edit: You better have a few posts or been a lurker for a few weeks because all these steps to get a beta code seem like :effort:

Its not been released yet? Haven't we had 2 CoD games in the mean time?

CCP is adding features to the beta that will interact with Sisi in 2 weeks, so yes, now is the time to have more EVE players join the beta - nothing tinfoil about it.

It takes 3 years or more to create a game. CoD and BF have the advantage of being build on pre-existing mature code so their development time is less, and their developers didn't announce "Hey, we are making CoD-X! Come back in a few years." so no one's been paying attention to exactly how long it's taken to make these other games.

any one got an access code i could nab?

[Nu11u5]

Every beta player got a giftable game code a month or so back. I think mine is still valid but locked out of GMail at work right now so I can't check it. I've got it now.
