Well, the happy news is that we are planning to release the Crucible mod to beta testing later this week.
This will be a closed beta for now, so if you are interesting in doing some testing, we would be grateful.
Any volunteers?

Your job will involve playing the mod (as thoroughly as possible) and documenting any issues you find.
You'll be able to report back on this site.

This is a UT3 mod so it requires you to be running UT3 patched to the latest version.

Later on, there will also be BW v2.5 betas so you can also volunteer for those!

The mod, not really, the stand alone yes please.

Yep, Count me in. Reporting bugs AND gameplay issues?

"Who wants to be a beta tester" is gonna be so much better than "Who wants to be a millionaire".

How big would the download be? That is the deciding factor as I'm on limited bandwidth shared by the entire family network.

The Crucible one be about 300MB.

That be good,

And BW?

Only 300 Megs? That's nothing. Definitely a download for me.

Why did I have to go and use up all my bandwidth for the month...

I'm out, for this month at least.

What happens when you run out? You seem very much online, and visiting websites is no less of a download than fetching files. . .

Not really, Surfing Pages, are not very large in size,

But a download of 300MB is a dedicated 300MB file size, which would then add on to all the surfing he has done.

Yep, we need people to play it extensively and report any issues they find.. Hopefully very few..

I meant in the mechanics behind it, downloading a file and website data is more or less the same thing.

Oooh, ooh, oooh! Pick me! Pick me! I wanna beta test!

It will be 200 to 250.


Gotta love that cap!

There will should be another Crucible beta after this and there will be the BW ones.

I know I'm kinda new here, but I would love to try this 'beta testing' thing! It sounds like a delicious snack of some sort.

I think I'll pass on the crucible, YES on the ballistic weapons, please.

Ooh, ooh, me, me! I know I haven't posted lately, but that's because I've been busy. But I feel I can put my life on hold and sacrifice the security of my UT3 installation for this!

Haha, yeah, it's a cookie of some sort, since you're ah, 'new' here, should I tell you whats in the cookie?

I would like to beta test The Crucible

Cheers

I'd love to, but honestly I couldn't devote much time to it right now.

Haha, sure! I'm hoping it will be chocolate chips or macadamia nuts. Those are delicious.

When is this Coming out? Its kinda near the end of the week.

Busy preparing it now Depending on how slow the upload is, it won't be too long now

Cool beans,

I'll have a Computer Directly connected to the internet just for this :L

Hows the Uploading going?

Damn thing took about 10 hours. I had to sleep, so i left it

I'm organizing it now. Beta guys will have the info soon

Just in case some of you missed the blatantly obvious forum right below this one; beta testing is now open to those who volunteered. The silence is alarming as only TurdDrive and I have tested it so far. Where are you guys? This version is seriously awesome.

No UT3 on this computer at the moment. I'm thinking of installing it this weekend though.

I would gladly test the cruicible . I am a big fan of your work from the first versions of Ballistic weapons for ut2004
(Ahh, it seems i am abit late for beta tester, is it still possible to aply for betatesting?)

Hi Lander, welcome

You're just a bit late for the Crucible testing, but we will have the BW beta up for testing soon, if you're interested in that?
