Is the beta even still on in Canada cause I haven't been able to go register any reminders.

There is a player limit. I think it is around 11,500 people
Just make sure your in the lobby waiting a few minutes before the game starts

When I played (in Canada), I believe there were at least 1200 people playing. It's super fun!

"Game session full" here too. I was really wanting to check this out. AH SHIT!

I managed to get in and I'm playing as the mob.
It's actually pretty damn entertaining and fun. I can see myself checking this out at least a couple of times a week.

I was in and I was handedly beating my teammates. Then a power surge killed my xbox and now the game is full.
Game was fun for the 5 minutes I got to enjoy it, but I have to give a thumbs down to Tampa's power.

While I was in the game they announced that something like 15,000 people were in the game.

Been trying to get on since 10:15 EST. Session is full. I know this is a beta, but isn't scalability part of the beta test?
I was really looking forward to this.

Game session full.
There isn't even a spectator option? Tried to join the moment the "1 vs 100. starts soon" notification popped up and it's already full.

I've been trying for the last 45 minutes. It's completely random whether you get in or not.
A mod just posted on the official forums that "XBox Live is very popular in the US." Really? Perhaps they should have taken that into account when they called this a "public beta," which I guess is just one more thing Microsoft is incapable of accomplishing correctly.

yeah, how about a screen that says how many slots. Because really, if no Canadian folks ever said they were denied, yet US people, including myself, got the pimp hand.

During the session it said that well over 50,000 were playing. It's a beta, chill out.

It's not even saying "Game Session Full" on my xbox. I click "Play Trial" and the screen goes black for a second and it goes back to the beta page.
