    Make spec ops an open beta

    2k should do an open beta, so as to really stress test the servers. also when you do an
    limited closed beta its very hard to tell how how the games actually working, example framerates.

    Isn't the first stage of any beta to test the servers in small amounts? Maybe they'll do an open one eventually, but I think we should probably be grateful for any kind of beta at all. BS2 didn't even have one (as far as I know).

    Well they did not really say if its closed or an open beta? and beta is not always intended for just a server stress test, framerates and graphics performance test are a big part of a beta,
    and keep in mind a game with a bad framerate=lots of lag.

    nenous2 is right, i think to that 2k have make an open beta, because everyone play this beta and more people try this game and buy it.

    it would get generally interested, and not by a bunch of chosen one´s

    The only way into the beta at this point is by invite,that makes it a closed beta.An open beta would be available to anyone who wanted it.

    I think doing an open beta could also hurt sales if not handled the right way. Look at how the 360 community is handling the MOH beta delay. It also seems that a majority of gamers look at betas as early demo play time instead of actually beta testing.

    Although it could be useful to have like a month long closed beta for certain testing and then maybe an added week or two of an open beta.

    I have to agree with you about MOH the 360 xbots are complaining so much, and my real
    concern about spec ops, is no ps3 beta and it not that we did not get a ps3 beta its more to do with the fact that the ps3 has always had issues online after a game was beta on the 360 only.
