I submitted my email request to be on the beta tester team for Hidden & Dangerous 2 but they have not replied to me yet :-(

I was part of IL2FB beta testers team. I don’t have enough interest to apply to any other game.

I participated in the beta testing of IGI2's MP code (the beta went public after a while, but I was a part of the test team long before that).

I was an official beta tester for Asheron's Call 2.

It probably took 3 months from my beta signup until they contacted me in return.

No, I just complain after release instead. \:\)

I was one of five people invited for closed testing for Operation Flashpoint. We were approached and invited out of the blue because we were not complete arseholes on the official forums, and because we all seemed to have realistic expectations of the game and also good suggestions and comments. We also acted as a sort of focus group as well as providing somewhat expert analysis of various features (we detected various weapon performance issues that were subsequently corrected, or at least toned down).

I Helped out with the initial testing for James and Osram, the BDG working on Rowans B.O.B.
It's not as simple or as 'fun' as it first appeared to be....I suppose when your 'responsible' for your results, you take it much more seriously than when you 'play'... ;\) .
