Spec Ops: The Line beta invites 'going out to a small number of applicants'
17
If you followed our advice and applied to be a part of the Spec Ops: The Line multiplayer beta, you just may be finding an invitation in your inbox sometime soon. Joystiq reader Reece got his earlier this week and sent over some images of the sign-up process. 2K Games confirms, "This is correct, beta invites for Spec Ops: The Line are going out to a small number of applicants. We'll be allowing more people into the private beta in the coming weeks."
Unfortunately, 2K also confirmed with Joystiq that this beta is "Xbox 360 only" – for you PC and PS3 gamers, consider it karmic payback for all that early access on Medal of Honor you've been enjoying while Xbox owners sat idly by. Anyone in on the beta? Sound off in the comments below or, heck, send us an email.

Hopefully I got in.
Then I could really decide if this game's worth my money when it launches (BTW, when exactly does it launch?)

It's really not that great. it runs on the same engine as gears and feels just like a knockoff. There is random envrionment changes(sand blows and you can't see anything) that makes it more annoying then cool. It just feels like a knockoff more than a new game

I got a invite and played it yesterday (thanks for the heads up Joystiq!).
Bad news though, it's a COD clone, but a terrible one.
Wonky controls, ugly graphics, and basic guns and gameplay make this totally skippable.
It's kinda like what Justin says on the podcast. If you release a game nowadays, it has to be good. Spec Ops is not.
