There was a certain period of time that you had to sign up at mycrysis.com in order to be eligible. That must have been last year sometime because I don't remember being on that website for a very long time and I don't even remember why I signed up in the first place. I've heard that people who've been signed up from the start haven't gotten such invitations so I'm assuming it was a very selective process. That or it is completely random.

This isn't the beta this is a tech stress test.

Just to clarify, this is NOT the Beta that was advertised for signing up to the new MyCrysis.com site.

No where in the email does it mention Beta, this is strictly a 'Crysis 2 Multiplayer Tech Test'.

Anyone that signed up for the beta should await further instruction. We apologize for the confusion.

More information will be released to the successful candidates in a few days time.

I know that. I read that post last week. The fact is that it is not the beta test most people think it is, but it is still a beta. Stress test or not, it's a beta.

Do you actually know what the word Beta means?

Well in context of builds of the game, I'm guessing that the beta would be the second stage build of a game that is pretty functional and can be released to the public with confidence. Now I understand this is purely to stress the servers, but it will be the first time the general public can get their hands on this game and see how it really plays.

Get on combat testing, they're getting some actual beta keys after the stress test. I'd be all over it if it weren't for a console system that requires a fee to play...

Anyone got a spare key?
I got three invites but no key :(

I haven't gotten shit yet, either. When do these stress tests start?

I saw this when I signed-up:

Still waiting for these so-called "instructions." I did not get an e-mail with the code.

Edit: So I read the FAQ that was posted by some Crytek mod. Apparently the invites sent out to people were not invitations to the test, they were invitations to sign-up for the chance to be a part of the testing process. Hmm, quite misleading. This shouldn't affect me since I signed up for the chance as soon as the e-mails were sent out. An hour or so later I received the second e-mail that actually signs you up. First come first served was what they said. If you haven't received an e-mail with a code yet, well it means you're not supposed to get a key. Well, I came at near the front of the pack and was served nothing? Defeats the purpose of their invite system.

Still, I'm not sure if all keys were sent out yet.

All the keys have been sent out, this isnt the full beta its a closed stress test, according to the dev's at crymod, only about 900 keys were sent out.

Who would want to play Crysis at anything less than 1920x1200 anyways? Defeats the entire purpose of the game :)
