The Beta will ramp up slowly, to ensure an ideal gaming experience and allow us to build up our server capacity. It is designed to help us catch and correct serious gameplay and technical flaws. Please focus on MAJOR bugs and game design defaults (including balancing) and do not submit MINOR bugs or game design and level design defaults. A dedicated forum will be open shortly. The Beta will launch in partnership with GameSpy and will initially only be open to GameSpy premium members (for one week). It will begin in the near future - stay tuned to www.splintercell.com for more info!
