    I personally can't say Halo Wars is a radically different game to Halo 3 or COD 4, there both FPS's, were talking about an RTS.

    So could you do it? Possibly. Only time will tell.

    I hope they do, but only for forum members, so like everyone who has a PM box gets a code, and the code is also emailed to them. So even Banned people get it, cause I there are a few people who are banned and are loyal enough fans to get to play the beta.

    And then everyone can post their opinions easily and then you don't get a bunch of retards playing the beta.

    Well maybe active members should get two codes, so they can give one to their friend who is also a loyal fan but just doesn't want to bother with a forum account.

    It's no perfect but it would work.

    I would like that too, but I think it should be for good behavour and a good contibution to the forums. They were banned for a reason, and though they are loyal, there are probably black listed, unless they have had a change of heart.

    I hopes this happens soon, as it would be really exciting, but we'll have to wait and see.

    It would, but I still feel you should earn it in some way.

    it would be to hard, it should just be, You have an account? great you get two codes, one for you, one for your friend. And then have like a two day open beta that you get with some game.

    Re: An open beta in the near future?

    In realistic terms, they would probably only give you one code, and that would be it.

    so the right people get it

    Re: An open beta in the near future?

    They did an open beta for Dawn of war and Company of heroes so why not Halo wars

     however if they do do a beta it'll be made open to the public either first off, with a first come first serve basis or later on with the forum members getting first dibs on the keys then the public getting them later.

     however its unlikely they would give out 2 keys each if they do give out keys it'll most likely be in a contest or first come first serve, not just a key for every forum member. Esecialy not the banned ones...

          I think we should have a Beta, around Mai/June.

    Re: An open beta in the near future?

    I personally dont want a beta because it would give away too much like then all in the forums would could just talk about what happened and would kinda kill the forums maybe
