Here's a new beta Q&A since we confirmed beta timing...
Are you still planning on doing a beta for the GRFS Multiplayer?
Yes, definitely. We value our community’s feedback and we want to hear what they have to say about the game before it ships. We also see it as a great opportunity for players to get their hands on our innovative gameplay!
Since the game has been pushed to the beginning of 2012, the beta had to move as well & it is now planned for January 2012 a couple of months before the game ships.
Are there any plans to do the beta on Multiple platforms?
The beta is planned only for Xbox 360. We don’t have any plans for other platforms right now.
How can we access the beta?
1. We already announced that Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction owners will have early exclusive access to the beta so it’s important to hold onto the disk until the beta starts.
2. We previously gave away a few keys via pre-orders or just as a gift. You can still receive a beta key by pre-ordering at GameStop! (United States)
3. We are planning to announce other ways to access the MP beta soon.
Why was the beta postponed?
As stated above, the beta planning is impacted by the whole game development planning. We care for our fans & we want them to have the best MP experience when they finally get a chance to play the game.
What content will be offered during the beta test?
The beta testing will let you play with the core pillars offered in GRFS MP: a visceral & collaborative combat experience that rewards cunning player & team play.
Content details will be revealed closer to the beta opening, so stay tuned to the different communication channels of the Ghost Recon team.
We appreciate the patience & interest of all the gamers involved. We know they have been waiting for the beta for a long time but we think they will be pleased once they get a chance to play it, and we also have a few rewards in store for them… stay tuned!
Will I get something for free for the beta being delayed?
(United States) Yes! If you currently have a GameStop pre-order with beta key, you will also receive a FREE Signature Edition upgrade! And remember, if you haven’t pre-ordered GRFS yet, if you do pre-order at GameStop you will receive both a beta key AND free Signature Edition upgrade.

Wait... so the people who have been holding on to their SC:C disks aren't even getting as much content as the people who have simply pre-ordered the game? Am I understanding this correctly?

Is Yves Guillemot going to be fired? Or wait! Is he going to have an IQ boost so he can learn how to play Just Dance 2? Or is your own IQ getting boosted in the three binary digits?

why the hell are the yanks getting preferential treatment?. what about everyone else you left standing in the rain?!
Don't scream at Kimi, its not her fault that her bosses have the brains of eggplants. Not only does she have to put up with THEM, she had to put up with US.
Ah well... Business as usual for Ubisoft. Brainless decisions, stupid PR, and WTF is up with making it US only? (I am a yank, btw) I know that Ubisoft doesn't care about it's customers but GEEZ! Way to ignore most of the world. How dumb can you GET? Oh, no... Don't answer that, Ubisoft...
*Sigh*
Some things never change. The Earth will always orbit the sun and Ubisoft PR and Marketing as a whole will never have more than three or four braincells working together at once.
