GuildWars2 Beta Signup Over. Counter-Strike: GO Update?

Catchy title I know, a FPS and a MMO in one article. Now if only these two game were actually connected, sadly only bad games get created with two genres in mind. With all that non-sense out-of-the-way let’s get back to the subject at hand. Firstly, Guild War 2 had a  beta signup that was to last 48 hours (needless to say I signed up) and it is now over.  ArenaNET happily announced they had over 1Million signup showing just how eager people are for a brand new MMO to dominate the rest. Now, I want to clarify, I don’t think GW2 will be a WoW killer, and I’m not a WoW fanboy, but I’ve seen the effects WoW has on new MMO’s and since their playerbase is so stacked, MMO’s can’t last because they all run back to their leveled and grown account on WoW. This has happened to me on Rift and SWTOR, both actually great games, but its new and who want to play a new MMO. Regardless, this is about Guild Wars 2, lets hope everyone who signed up will get what they truly want out of Guild Wars2, I sure as hell hope I do.

 

Nextly we have Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The update they recently had wasn’t to intensive but they made a blog post about it so I figured I should write a tiny bit about it. Well, they changed their beta map to Train finally. You can now play train in the beta. That is all.

 

P.S. Why do people say “Needless to say” then say what apparently does not need to be said? I was kicking myself as I forced myself to write it.

P.S.S. Written jokes aren’t as funny as vocal jokes.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Beta… Survey?!

Well here we go with ANOTHER short one. Little time to write and plan these articles out but the desire to let you all know about the newest beta application out there. This one is for Counter-Strike: GO (Global Offensive). Now usually these sign ups are no big deal, but this one is kind of odd. All it takes to get accepted in to this beta is to fill out a survey. That’s it, just a simple survey that asks how much time you spend playing games, skill level, and interest in their past games. Very simple, not everyone will get in but the only way to get in is to complete the survey. The only requirement is that you have steam installed and since there is some hardware information involved they suggest you complete the survey on the computer you intend on playing CS:GO on. So make sure you join up and get ready to have some FPS goodness in the very near future. Continue to the link below and you could be entered in the draw for the next Beta wave! (As of now I’m unsure how many keys will be sent out to determine your likely hood to get into the beta)
