Crysis 2 beta on the way, community site sign-ups get early access
39
Excited about Crysis 2 but can't wait until the game arrives later this year? You could probably don a Nano Muscle Suit and spend the summer looking like a psychotic person -- or you could go over to the MyCrysis community page and sign up for an account, granting you a chance at early access to the beta. "What beta?" you say? Yep, turns out that Crytek is working on giving fans early access to its upcoming sequel.
Details are slim right now, with Crytek only saying that "early registrations" to the soon-to-be relaunched community site "will be tracked, and our first wave of users will have a chance to win a key as and when the Crysis 2 beta takes place." Presumably that's just PC users for now, but we've reached out to Crytek for clarification all the same. The relaunch has yet to take place, but is promised to be "coming soon" according to the game's Facebook page. And hey, that personal Nano Muscle Suit might come in handy for hitting refresh in your browser window really, really fast.

Thank for the FULL story CVG
"The site is down at the moment for "maximum upgrade", which sounds big, but it featured the following announcement earlier:
"Looking to get your hands on Crysis 2 early? Now is your chance! Early registrations will be tracked, and our first wave of users will have a chance to win a key as and when the Crysis 2 beta takes place. All you need to do is sign up early and one day in the near future you may be receiving a mail with an invite to the game."
The Crysis 2 site is expected to be relaunched at 12pm tomorrow CET (10am GMT) so get your mice ready."

I won't bother signing up because my PC is too old.

@Oozinator -
Crysis 2 is coming to the consoles, so it's conceivable that there could be a beta for them as well.
I'd sign up to see Crysis 2 on the 360 early, but I don't really need to see it on the PC early (I already know it's going to look great)

Bookmarked the website, and will refresh it a few times a day. I really hope I get to participate in the beta.

Tomorrow is when they open it.
Just get Opera web browser set it as a quick dial then set it to auto refresh every 30 seconds.

Isn't the rumored system requirements to be a Cray Jaguar or better? Have the requirements been raised since I last read that?

they confirmed on facebook that old accounts work as well, without the need to re-register. people think that they failed to launch the site on friday (which is the day they said they would) and then took off for the weekend. lol.

I've had pretty high expectations for this game, let's hope it doesn't dissappoint!

Cant wait for this, hopefully the 360 version actually looks decent compared to the PS3/PC version. I have the first game on PC and it's gorgeous.

Anyone else think the nanosuit kinda looks like a thong?

Just managed to register on the site using a ton of refreshing on the browser and now I just need to actually have my account confirmed. The confirming part will most likely be the biggest pain right now.
