Three days seems awfully short for the devs to learn whatever they need to learn from the closed beta, especially if a whole month goes by until "launch". Here's hoping that they extend it a few days at the very least, or schedule more testing events.

Initial closed beta for two days.  That seems to be a very short time frame.  And does this mean there will be more beta periods_  Any word on how many and/or how long they will last_

The initial Closed Beta test is four days long (OP updated) and will be followed by other tests. This episodic Closed Beta schedule allows us to focus on test analysis and build development separately rather than simultaneously (as with Alpha 2).

Hell yeah :D Oh and btw, if I'm correct, there is an error in this sentence - "(...)you WILL ARE automatically included(...)" should be "(...)you WILL BE automatically included(...)" :P

Yup. You're right. I was a sleepy CM.

That's gotta be the best "release date" meme I've never seen until now.

Any chance this will come to consoles_

Right now we're focusing on HAWKEN's PC release on December 12, 2012.

Dear HAWKEN Public Relations:

Fact:  You have approximately 90,000 members seeking Beta Keys

And HAWKEN chooses to make BETA KEYS good for one per person and you trickle out the keys at the rate of 23 keys per 12 hours_

Is the goal to just recruit script kiddies_
Is the goal to irritate your fan base_
Occupation:  Old guy (do it long enough and you get really good at it)

Super cool jpg goes here>

i wish i had known about all this sooner, i signed up for pre beta when i was watching comic-con12 on xplay live, i forgot to watch my E-mails and missed out on the first beta test :(
No you didn't, this is the first beta.  The alpha was what you missed.  There is a difference. :)

(I don't mean to necro threads, I'm just almost always running behind.  My apologies)

Understood.  I can appreciate this approach, I can, but it would be nice to not cut us addicts off from the supply when the team is focusing on on test analysis and build development.  Just saying.  ;)

A little sad to see such a short Closed Beta session since myself and many of my friends/testing buddies will be out of town that weekend (it is Halloween weekend, after all).  I guess I'll be fortunate enough to catch the last day of it since I was an Alpha 2 participant, but I really wish you had elected a different date for the initial Closed Beta launch.  On the up-side, I am happy to hear that I can at least livestream Hawken now...
