"However, if we don't continue to improve and provide new, engaging content, then we are not holding up our end of the unspoken agreement between communities and developers."

I'm open to the idea of 2142 turning out to be a good game (though I'm more excited by ETQW). I'd be happy to play the beta. There's no way in hell I'll pick up the game without reading reviews of it (if it's that damn good, I think it's safe to assume people will still be playing it a week after it comes out).

Hopefully EA/DICE will bust ass on this one - that's part of the beauty of the BF franchise having a competitor. I don't hold out much hope for a solid community (other than server-specific communities) in a "massive FPS" game. It's hard to sort the cool people from the players running for the jets/copters every round.

I'm glad Dice is saying,ya we dropped the ball, we're sorry for sucking, we'll try and make it better. On the other hand I find it sad that they need to get the masses to bug test and balance everything for them.

Oh well, as a competitive player, I'll be happy to tell them how to make their games better.

If DICE and EA are actually saying "we screwed up" and admitting they need better community support -- I think that's a good step. They could just keep doing the same crap. This may just be a PR move, but they may actually make a better franchise.

I am curious to see if the open beta release comes right as ET:QW is released for money.

Well, an open beta will certainly cause me to try my hand at the game. Something I probably would not have done otherwise.
