    You get a mail AND you get the code immediately on the site, actually. ;) Fortunately I managed to get it in time myself too.

    Yeah, I think there's a fairly big difference between this and the beta I took part in before - this one has four maps versus 2, you can watch and fool around with your replays, and I think there's a tank in one of the older maps as well in some form or other. Then of course there are more melee options, etc. Anyway, I'll know for sure in about 10 minutes, as it's downloading. ;)

    You have to click on the fileplanet link. There you have to sign up or sign in, depending on if you already made an account for IGN. Then you get the code.

    There will be more for the U.S. soon I reckon - the U.S. beta starts slightly later (maybe a day or so)

    I'm trying to make a detailed list of everything I've noticed in the game, but I wanted to mention one thing right now:

    my Twitter account is ArwinB3D ... I'm not a big fan of twitter, but this beta supports some kind of twitter link natively, so I'll be adding it in and you can follow it if you care to, to see what it does while I further test the beta. :D

    I thought I read somewhere that this game was able to keep going after the host left. Had to drop out of a co-op game because of it. But maybe that's because it's a still beta.

    The game looks great so far, and plays very well after I had remembered the control scheme again.

    I was in a plunder or a deathmatch game where this happened. You return to the base as previously, but this time it actually says that this was because the game found a new host. So I think this was always in there, as this sometimes happened in the previous beta as well.

    I played around with the replay mode today, and it's quite awesome! You really get a full replay, Halo 3 style, and with all sorts of camera and settings to boot. Interestingly, all the effects you can select are basically real-time. There is no image enhancement, and whatever you select can then be used to watch the full replay. The replay can be accellerated up to 5x, or slowed down to 0.2x, etc. You can twist the camera, change the hues and tones, depth of field, and so on, but all these things then stay active if you do resume play. And of course, there's a simple framebuffer export to the XMB. I played around with this a bit replaying a game I had with some guys from here, and this is what I came up with eventually. Note that I changed the tone quite a bit, to go for a kind of dusk lighting.

    My favorite so far is this one:

    Elena climbs over an invisible wall in the demo. :)
    It looks stunning though. Absolutely stunning.

    Those walls were demolished by the tank. Before the tank those were alright. It was 'interesting' to hit invisible walls in the middle of the map while running away from villains , though :D. Here's another view of it ; [ http://i28.tinypic.com/2gt8z7p.jpg ].

    About the MP , I'm amazed by the visuals. I can't believe how a 3yo machine can do those visuals. Awesome work by ND. But except the Co-op mode , I didn't like the U2 MP as much as KZ2's , so far. I don't know maybe its because of the amazing visuals kept me busy :] , couldn't concentrate on the game itself.

    By the way , I'm still looking answers for my question about Istanbul part of the game :D , if anyone knows let me know too please.
