    This is bull**bleep**. Why?. Early access beta for killzone buyers is bs. We were conned into buying that **bleep**ing game just to be told that we can't play untill march 29. Tricked into buying that **bleep**ing game for beta access. Gamestop here i come for my refund,

    Re: Bomb Squad and Beta Details

    I feel very dissappointed right now, because   I paid for a early access voucher which gives me a week start before its free. Not to mention its only a 13 beta after that..   I feel like that was very unprofessional of Zipper with this decision. why cant the beta just be available all at once?  what is this private beta? come on man!!!!  we have been going back n forth on this whole beta issue, and everyone who was being very angry and judgemental was right) we are getting **bleep**kked on this whole buy killzone 3 get beta deal)   why doesnt the whole beta just open on the 15th for everyone?  wow I hate to say it, but everyone was right, you all have no consideration for your fanbase. I know you all dont give a **bleep** about us consumers/gamers  for sure now.....

    Re: Bomb Squad and Beta Details

    So the Killzone people only get a whopping 5 days before it's released to everyone?  Whereas the "private beta" users get 3 weeks?  Seriously?  I don't mind making the KZ players wait a bit, but only 5 days of exclusivity is completely absurd.  With work, school, and any other random **bleep** people have going on, that's practically nothing.  I like KZ3, and it's a fun game, don't get me wrong, but I could have saved a ton of money and just bought a PS Plus sub to get it 7 days earlier!  What a joke!

     

    YUNG_SLANGA, I couldn't agree more.  I have always defended Zipper before this, but now I don't know if I can.

    Re: Bomb Squad and Beta Details

    Technically KZ is early compared to everyone else getting it a week later but hey this bomb squad looks rad man hope its like demo but all i care about is that the gameplay is somewhat like s1 or s2 and i would be on 24 hours a day ive got nothing but time baby bring on the beta!

    Re: Bomb Squad and Beta Details

    OK that's good news about bomb squad! Not so good news about the BETA tho! Tell me why I bought KILLZONE 3 again??? 2 play the beta 2 weeks b4 the game launches. THAT'S A JOKE! The whole reason I ever bought a ps3 in the first place was to play socom .. But that never showed up untill over a year later and zipper wasn't even the makers of it,it was made by some B rated software developers.. That game is now rotting in some dump site! Then I get the great news zippers making M.A.G. Played the beta one of the first to pre order it, bought the game (love it) then I get even better news Zippers making SOCOM 4 I run out pre order it the first day u were able 2.. Then I hear about a beta in kill zone 3 great .. Run out go grab the game .. Now I have to wait over a month 2 play it .. LMAO... OH WAIT if your "special" you get to play the "private" beta.. What is this?? Then ur giving out a free beta a couple days after the killzone 3 beta !! AGAIN CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY I BOUGHT KILLZONE 3 again . Not saying its a bad game! But its nooooo SOCOM!! Not 2 mention I ALREADY HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION 2 PSN NETWORK . PRIVATE BETA MY ***!

    Re: Bomb Squad and Beta Details

    I really think to stop the cheating Zipper should hire guys like me who sit home all day and play the game we love to play to get swarn in to tell the truth and the whole truth and really start putting these players that are doing such cheating banned for gud. im very persuasive when it comes to getting cheaters to reveal their true skills , in return these hand selected Socom Mods should receive releases & exclusive content for the dedication . This game is buy far the best game ever created . we just have to keep these cheaters from ruining it. Socom Fan all day

    Re: Bomb Squad and Beta Details
    Why are so many people complaining? Having a small group in a private beta is great for feedback, especially if they pick the right crowd.

    Coming from a background of playing every Socom since the first and seeing the progression I'd love to see a core private group who have been with the series since the beginning giving feedback that the devs can actually use.

    I always see it as the devs doing the community a favor when they open their game up to everyone before release so I'm happy to see we will have a chance to test it before then one way or another.

    I'm excited to see what Socom 4 brings to the series for sure.

    Re: Bomb Squad and Beta Details

    What kind of ******** is this? There's a private beta for people on the 15th, the PS Plus members get access on the 22nd and those of us that pre-ordered Killzone 3 to get early access don't actually get access until the 29th ONE WEEK before everyone can download it? What a joke, I'm getting rid of my Killzone 3 copy with Socom beta key now and will just wait ONE WEEK and download it with everyone else.
