thank you. that has been removed.

No prob. Kotaku's article wasn't entirely accurate.

[NeroRevolver]

I'm betting I play over 90 matches EASY the first day of the beta.

[Mr Philadelphia]

I'm betting I play over 90 matches EASY the first day of the beta.

Impossible. Good thread tao.

[II Donell II]

Impossible. Good thread tao.

Well, if each match averages at 10 mins that's about 15 hours for 90 games.

I've done more than 15 hours of Gears more times than I would like to admit ...

[NeroRevolver]

Impossible. Good thread tao.

You doubt the powers of non-stop play?

I bet I play a high amount of matches the first day.

Rod just confirmed that April everyone gets in, what's NOT being confirmed is how "early" is "early" for us BS owners.

[TAO Devil]

yep, got that put in.

[MenDeZ]

yep, got that put in.

If I remember correctly I read that BS owners get in a couple of months before everyone else?

[Victimizer]

A month earlier seems fair to me..
Also, I am going for the unlocks, no matter what's going on outside. Need-Golden-Retro-Lancer..!!
Oeehhh a lot of my friends will be so jealous

[BosanskiCarmine]

Is it still possible to get Bulletstorm epic Edition? :P

[AlienShogun]

If I remember correctly I read that BS owners get in a couple of months before everyone else?

You should have read more, of this thread.

that was reported falsely by kotaku. Possibly a typo. Might have meant a few weeks? we don't know for sure, but it;s definitely not months.

[CommanderRown]

Damn fine job of keeping the thread updated, TAO.

It may be true. The EE people may play the Beta, then there's a gap, and then the norm's come in.

[AlienShogun]

Tao, where did you see the info for Flaming lancer for Epic edition purchasers, I didn't see that anywhere, and thought they couldn't give us any unlocks for non Gears games.

I'm running a thread over at NeoGAF currently.

[Tkavil]

Ok, in the main post you said Mid-April is official release date, are you positive?

If so, when do EE owners get the Beta?

[NeroRevolver]

They confirmed it in the Gamestop Interview video.

(*The Flaming Lancer)

Joe and Rod said we DO get in early, but it's not months

One or two of the article's have it. I think it will be unlocked based on the early access of the beta. Possibly included in the Epic Edition code.

They said we cannot unlock based on other games achievements.

Ok, in the main post you said Mid-April is official release date, are you positive?

If so, when do EE owners get the Beta?

Yes I am positive. We get in early, but that hasn't been announced when.

[AlienShogun]

I wonder if flaming lancer means like Halo flaming helm, or a lancer with flames painted on it.

Lancer with flames.

[dogsinthecity]

Just want to ask is there going to be a seperate video showing off the gameplay or is it interview only?

[AlienShogun]

Lancer with flames.

So paint then.

[TAO Devil]

So paint then.

yes. painted flames not actual flames

[KaayODave]

There's a mix up about the beta's release date. It's released to Bulletstorm Epic-Edition buyers in Mid-April, everyone else has to wait a couple more months. My guess is that means this beta may last all summer

Rod confirmed that Mid-April was when the main beta starts. Epic Edition buyers get in earlier.

[Victimizer]

My mind is blown.

[AlienShogun]

Rod confirmed that Mid-April was when the main beta starts. Epic Edition buyers get in earlier.

If "early" is mid march, consider my Homefront preorder canceled.

[TAO Devil]

yes. painted flames not actual flames

I should mention the flames are animated.

[AlienShogun]

Wait, what? How is that possible?

It's a matter of visual coding along the lancer skin. Makes it look as if the flames are real.

I've never felt so spoiled!!

[OrtanaIV]

Imagine the flaming helmet from Halo...but on a Lancer.

Rod Fergusson interview.

[AlienShogun]

Rod Fergusson interview.

Yeah, just saw it, that's awesome. I wonder if there's anything other than having epic edition required to get it.

[Eggbert]

You have to let me into the beta!!
