OK, I signed up with Fileplanet just to find out what the deal is with the beta. After filling out a short questionaire of questions related to system specs as well as other questions related to previous experience with the Battlefield franchise I was directed to this FAQ:
Here are the screening questions which were asked:Thank you for Pre-Registering for the Battlefield 2142 Beta. We will be adding additional members to the beta shortly. You will be contacted via email when additional slots have been opened.
Here are some questions and answers for the Battlefield fans applying for the Battlefield 2142 Beta on FilePlanet.
Question: What are my chances at getting into the beta?
Answer: FilePlanet is screening all users registering for the beta. Keys for the first round of the beta are VERY limited and only a few people will be able to play in the first phase. Those keys are on a first come, first served basis.
The next phase will start during the third week of August. At that time if you are on the waiting list, you will be able to retrieve a key. If your information has been collected, we will be contacting you during the third week of August to get a key.
Question: I subscribed but didn’t get into the beta. Why not?
Answer: Subscribers still go first! If you did not get your key on the first round you can still get a key in the second round as long as keys remain. So keep an eye on your email.
Please remember quantities of keys are limited. Subscribing does not guarantee a key if keys run out.
Question: I got a key, so I'm in the beta right?
Answer: If you received a key, you were one of the lucky few, hardcore members that got in the first round of the beta. The first round keys are on a first come, first serve basis for those that pass the screening.
Question: I applied for the beta but didn't get a key. Was my beta spot reserved?
Answer: If you received a message that your spot has been reserved, you have passed the screening but all the keys for the first phase are currently depleted. You will gain priority access into the next phase as soon as it opens during the third week of August.
Question: I registered for the beta but was told my information has been collected. What does that mean?
Answer: If you were thanked for pre-registering for the beta and told that additional members will gain access soon, you are on our contact list to get in the second phase which starts during the third week of August.
