Judging from what we read in the comments and the response to our MAG leadership trailer earlier this month, your trigger fingers are itching to wage into battle in the biggest multiplayer shooter ever seen on a console.
Enabling 256 players to occupy the same battlefield is no small feat, and Zipper Interactive now needs to test the game’s servers. This is where you come in (cue Uncle Sam poster).
To sign up for the MAG beta, head to eu.playstation.com/competitions and follow the instructions. That’s it – no questions or puzzles, just one big beta free-for-all.
A few things to consider:
- Up to 16,000 Promotional Codes will be distributed via email on a first come, first served basis. They will be sent out in weekly batches, so don’t give up hope if you don’t get yours straight away
- This is a beta, not a demo. This version of the game will contain bugs and other problems; these will be fixed before the game’s release
- The beta will be open for six hours a day, Monday to Friday. These times are 5pm to 8pm and midnight to 3am, GMT (although they may vary)
- Check the terms and conditions at eu.playstation.com/terms before applying to see if your region is included
- You cannot sign up to the beta via the PS3 browser. Sign ups are currently PC (and Mac) only.
I’m looking forward to seeing your foreheads at the centre of my cross hairs.

Thanks for the attempt to help, zonaw/seedaripper1973.
Yes, I checked the case of the code… all the characters were upper case… all were entered the same.
I had a feeling at the time I wrote above that the issue was because I was part of a previous Beta Test for the game; I’ve just tried the same code on another PS3 (without prior game-play usage) & it worked fine.
I’ll not be playing the Beta now (as the code was installed against a different PlayStation Network Id), but maybe we can find another title to play co-operatively or competitively.
Send me an “Add to Friends List” if you wish.
Hope you enjoy your time with the Beta.
BFN,
fp.

@marcindpol – check your junk mail. there were a lot of codes sent out yesterday around 5:30pm, originating from news@eu.playstationmail.com . did you receive the original mail confirming your entry to the competition?
i left the download going all night, got to about 60-odd% but had to switch the ps3 off before work this morning. started it at 7pm this evening, and it resumed at only 50% – after another 4hrs i’m only at 80%.. looks like i won’t be on tonight either. is this using bittorrent or something for distribution? might explain why downloading is much slower than it should be for me. it’s like the MGS4-online beta all over again..

@ Twistedintoform & sandystrachan, After 2 dc’s, one at 33% and one at about 60% it stopped at 81%, when I cancelled it loaded from that point and I was playing.
This game is incredible, since it is a beta I expected more problems but the only ones I had had is a system freeze when I tried to back out of a game and getting booted when trying to ‘Join Friend’. Well done to all the guys at Zipper.
@ Shijima, There are rumours here in Aus about another Beta very soon after this one, can you confirm this? And if so will you guys be handing out more keys? And will the current testers be automatically in any future tests?
Can’t wait for the full release of this game.

Can’t get the link to the sign up page to work. Sweden: It just directs me automatically to: “se.playstation.com/psn/competitions” where it says “no active competitions at the moment”.
Where do I find the sign-up form?

Hi looking for some help/advice,
I got a code from a friend who’s out of the country for the duration of the beta. Redeemed the code and got a download of about 35mb. Seemed small and loading it I get a title screen then nothing. Can someone tell me if this is usual? I’ve been reading through here with most talking about a 3gb download but I haven’t seen anything that size. Does this part download like an update once you load the game?
Help appreciated,
Cheers.
