They haven't selected anyone yet? Also, could they disqualify us based on things we may have said on the pre nuked BSN? Those accounts were technically Origin accounts as well.

Those accounts were technically Origin accounts as well. 1) No, no selections have been made yet. They haven't even announced when the tech test will be taking place, so selecting people now wouldn't make too much sense. 2) I mean, they could, but they could also disqualify people who have what they consider to be silly gamertags. I very highly doubt they'll take any of that into account, and it'll probably be a lottery system (assuming they're even disqualifying people, for all we know it could just be that they accept everyone who signs up). |

I wonder what the control system will be like. I hope I don't have to try and retrain my poor old fingers for another 3 years  |

I just change the control layout of every game since to be as close as possible to the ME3 layout.
Excluding the stick to everything button

I hope I don't have to try and retrain my poor old fingers for another 3 years From some screens from the gameplay trailer it could be very distressing as they showed powers being activated by left bumper, right bumper and combined left/right bumper. For me very hard on the hands and those bumpers break more for me if over used. I really hope we can map things. |

I got a Razer Orbweaver so I could re-map the unmappable. Actually I should say, as close to MY ME3 control layout as I can. Which does bring slight hiccups when I come back to ME3 after months of Warframe. When I instinctively Bullet-jump and slide down a ramp................................ or rather, stick to a wall and use 4 OPs packs instead |

I took the application to play this video game beta Very Seriously You like Turians and you have a YouTube channel! You are an Internet personality! I would totally stalk you even more if you were in the support your efforts to get into MEAMP beta. |

According to this interview with Michael Gamble, they're in the "final stretch of deciding which dates to use" for the beta. If you have a PS4/Xbone, are interested in participating, and have not registered yet, take the five minutes to do it here. I would expect an announcement sometime in mid-to-late January, but there is a non-zero chance of it coming sooner, so it's better to sign up now than scramble and try to get in at the last minute. |

Agreed, I assume a mid to late January notification for folks. Certainly not happening until after the New Year, as they're on their annual holiday break currently. |

What we're they thinking man ? The first Me3 MP beta experience was held on PC back in the day and it was glorious , now they are excluding the main gaming community and for what reason ? This would have been a first day buy for me , after reading this not so much.
Very dissapointing , they never learn.

Any information on if the beacon testers be able to share publicly their screenshots and gameplay videos throughout the internet during the test? I was trying to sign up for beta recently, went through the long process of Q&A (like it was some kinda job interview) and as soon as i get done it says that only console players allowed. and i dont own any console...oh well, GG by me |

They want to test the game rather than the platform, and they don't want anything data mined, perhaps? A good reason to not test on PC then?  The last beta they ran on Dragon Age Inquisition multiplayer there was a PC leak I know they were annoyed about. |

It bothers me that only console peasants are allowed to beta. I bet these scrubs take their mischievous attitude to new levels when they decide not to share anything with us, der pitiful master race that is confined to watch from der sideline.

I agree somewhat but let's be honest here this is not an MMO launch for Mass Effect it's merely a sequel so im pretty sure there is no fatal/leak exploit that could ruin the early launch. There is no excuse and im pretty sure the PC community will react , i love consoles aswell but not as much as my PC especially for a BETA test. |

Surely the whole point of a beta is to the test the game? i.e. it's not a demo, it's not a 'fan service', it's a test for balance and so forth. And if they feel vulnerable on PC and Console betas will do the job (on a defined platform with defined specs) that is surely their choice. All of these things sound like pretty good excuses, what is left to 'react' about other than a misplaced sense of entitlement? |

Pretty dick move from Biower to exclude PC players."Oh,we gave them DAMP beta and they leaked like teenage boys".
Dear Biower,take a look at CDPR and theirs Gwent beta-you can stream, talk about it at your heart's content.
Who would know,few years ago these guys were Bioware fanboys...

Ok, so gamers: @buttbreath69 and @ihatebiower had better lower their expectations Seriously though, the whole point of a beta is to test for balance and frankly for behaviors the devs don't expect, so they may choose testers for very specific reasons. They may just as likely want a new gamer who's never played MP as a super-awesome player with N7 10,000. Later, beta availability may open up if they want to stress test it. |

Those don't exist  And sure, anything is possible. The truth is we don't know anything about how they're handling selection, so any one theory is equally as credible as another. My personal opinion is that if they're testing for balance and unexpected behaviors, you get as many people as possible in so you can maximize the amount of data collected. Besides, none of the metrics they ask for on the Beacon are in any way indicative of the applicant's abilities, but that isn't a surprise. |

I hope beta testers are able to post screenshots. At least the ones who didn't get picked can still have something new to check out. I remember when I got picked for For Honor's closed Alpha. I *think* Ubisoft said it was okay to post screenshots/videos. Here's hoping Bioware let's us do the same.

Frazier Commander, last month the odds were "good" for MP beta news. This unit requires calculated odds for the current month. Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon
Since I was clearly wrong last month, I shall refrain from providing further calculations for this unit. Sorry!  Hopefully we'll get something later this month. |
