About freakin time. Splinter Cell: Conviction owners will find the beta waiting in the menu.
I hope this release doesn't suck. I've been patiently waiting the 2-3 years for the next Ghost Recon to drop.
Me too man. There hasn't been a new TC game in a minute.
I forgot I needed to have a copy of Spliter Cell. A used one will go for cheap though.
If you wanna be really cheap you can just go to gamestop and spend a dollar on the pre order, that gets you a beta code as well.
The beta option is on the main menu for splinter cell, which makes me think you need the disk to play. Maybe I am wrong though... Wouldnt be the first time.

Beta has been pushed back a week, now starting on the 19th. Playstation+ member, pre orders and people who own Splinter Cell: Conviction will be able to play. 2 modes, 3 maps and all 3 classes will be available. Beta runs til May 2nd.
If you can ignore the dumbasses talking, this is a pretty awesome video showing some of the co-op. http://ghost-recon.ubi.com/gr-portal/en-US/home/
going to pre-order the game so i can get into the beta, after watching some of the multiplayer footage im getting excited.
I'm looking forward to the 19th to test this. PS+ continues to pay for itself and then some.
I really hope that this game is good.

Dunno if I like that stun pistol this guy uses. It doesn't kill, it just knocks someone out for a while. Seems like you could just KO half the enemy team over and over again and casually handle the objectives. And I hope there's some kind of counter for the location grenades and UAV. Looks like you could just throw those out whenever you want.
The beta starts 12:01am GMT on the 19th, so that should be 8pm EST tomorrow for us.
**edit** beta was pushed back yet again. Now starts 10am EST.
**edit 2** I've got 5 beta keys you can use to pre download the game and be ready to go tomorrow. Let me know and I'll PM ya.
I preordered Ghost Recon, but haven't received any beta codes yet (it said I was supposed to receive them via e-mail, but no luck so far).
So if someone has a spare code to toss out (cough, cough, Kamakaze, cough, cough), that would be awesome.
I ended up getting my splitercell keys today, got 3 of'em. I'm sure a lot of other people did as well, however these are up for grabs ..just PM.
I've got one up for grabs just pm me. First come first serve.
Gone
i didnt realise that getting a beta code by pre-ordering had a cutoff date, i know i sound like a jerkoff but does anyone have a beta code to give me cause im a bum and i beg for stupid things like beta codes....

played about 4 matches this evening, what everyones opinion on the beta? also i didnt use the codes you posted brother in law pre-ordered the game but doesnt have gold so he texted me a beta code.
I played 4 matches. I'm not blown away by it. Feels very slow compared to the other FPS' out. My guy felt like he was running with a sack of concrete on his back. Kinds reminds me of Battlefield meets Gears. I pulled my pre-order and will wait til it drops and just do the SP. I don't know why exactly I don't care for it, it's just not for me.
it took me a hour and change before i finally started finding teams that were playing as a team and using the tech for each class but once i did the games started to get real damn intresting, the engineer with the remote copter, mini-cams and turret is a fuk'n game changer in the hands of a good player. i was playing scout and using the stun-gun in close range (hacking downed enemies to get position of team is hilarious, but its only helpful when you stun people that are lone-wolfing) and using the sniper rifle for mid-range sniping was pretty sweet. i didnt mess around with the rifleman too much, but they seemed to be the blitz players.
What's really starting to bother me about this game is the last objective. If a game is close, the whole thing can hinge on that. Which is cool, close games are usually more fun. But when it's one of the defending objectives in the other teams spawn so all they have to do is sit in spawn and camp it, that really quite sucks and usually gives them an easy win.
For a good time, check out Taco trolling the Ubisoft forums. Good times are to be had.
Felt like spreading the love a bit. The rifleman is seriously OP though.
You know what's fun? Play as a level 16 rifleman, you get the ammo box. Sit in your spawn, deploy the ammo box and rain nukes down on the other team. You can single handedly defend any objective without firing a single bullet or even leaving spawn. You get 2-3 guys doing this together and staggering their throws it makes it impossible for anyone to get near an objective. You can do this until the objective is in your own spawn, then cap it and keep raining frags down on it.
I"m done with this game, this isn't even a 'beta' test this is an 'alpha' at best, beta is going to be the retail release mark my words. This is a no way in hell am i buying this Pass for me.
Spawn camping check,
Spawn locking with sensor grenades so you can't ever spawn, check
People spawning right beside you without giving you a chance to defend yourself, check
First time 'dedicated server' play goign to fall flat on it's ass... check
Splits up your party into different squads and different teams for the WTF comment... check
Connectifity problems out the ass.. check
GRAW's been away so long that shooters have evolved and this game just doesn't feel right to me, nor have I felt like it was fun to play this weekend either.
The campaign might be cool to play with all the toys but i doubt the single player is a 60 dollar experience. So this game is not for me.
Let's not forget the other fun bits! Objectives being exclusively in one teams spawn giving them an easy win. The HVT objective picking the person closest to the enemy spawn so they'll die first. The COD style panic knife. Infinite grenades with the rifleman ammo pack. The UAV being "out of range" when it's 2 feet away and the wonderful host migration that restarts the objective. Had that happen once where we had 2 seconds left on the objective and would have won the game. Host migrated and switched objectives, putting it in the other teams spawn and they won.
Crap !
Looks like I'll stick with the free to play version for now.
I'm so disappointed but the issues you've mentioned are just unforgiveable. I've been getting more and more turned off MP because of the incredible douche-baggery that 21st Century MP has become.
I had hopes for this. * sigh *
It's kinda bad. Most matches just turn into seeing which team can throw more frags at the objective, not even a pretense of tactical gameplay or anything.

Played some this evening. Looks like a pass for me also. Just nothing there to call earth shattering "gotta have this game" to me.Yawn.
