Title: Shadowrun Beta
Post by: Rustmonkey on March 15, 2007, 04:20:00 PM
Hey all, got an email today with my Beta participation code - looks like the beta is about 1 gig (at least of info downloaded to the 360).  Will be running and available until 4/30

Kudos!

I didn't even know there was a Shadowrun beta. I bet it's that 17+ crap! How do you get into the beta, and when was this beta even announced?

Game is definetely better than I expected, and I can see how the mouse and keyboard guys won't have an advantage, because your accuracy is pretty random within your reticle. I'm sure sniping will be easier with a mouse, since its already pretty smooth with a control pad. All in all, I'm pretty impressed so far, and this will most likely be a game I purchase at launch, to finally slow my R6 time.

Yeah, the features are pretty ingenious... really makes for a different FPS experience.

Yeah, I did too. I was ready to play and had to wait another 2 hours for a 83K patch. Pretty weird. I'm guessing their servers were clogged.

Ya that patch took me forever too...wtf

This game is pretty sick, I did all the training but haven't jumped into a legit game yet.........I could see this pulling me away from Battlefield for a while...lol

The beta is closed at this point.  As for info on patches, doubtful the servers were clogged, but the answers and reasons you are looking for are on the shadowrun forums
