Is this a open beta?

When do Plus subscribers get a go at it? Did I already miss it?

@HaVoK308 It was available since this past Tuesday, so download it now! Be warned that there have been a lot of freezing issues. But it is a beta so I guess my complaints only go so far.

PS+ go tit 8/23 so you can go to PSN and download it now, I tried it 2 days ago and I really like it, there are still few bugs here and there but game is actually more fan than I expected, I hope to give it more time this weekend, and I have to try the 3D also.

The stuff includes a new weapon: the atomizer - a gun that shoots electricity and secondary fire that shoots a gravity well which damages enemies), and two new abilities: heal beacon (heals you and your teammates when deployed) and turret (just like any other turret, you deploy it and it shoots enemies).
Those are the three I've seen so far.

To bad you can play it, this game freezes more then a pack of freeze pops in the freezer since the last update.
I wasnt excited for this game to begin but after play the beta I can say I mos def wont be getting this game. Online play is BROKEN, glad they have a beta out cant see them fixing it anytime soon since it is that bad.

Your statements were accurate...two days ago when it was released to Plus subscribers. The game has worked fine, since like...8 hours after it was put up on PSN for download.
That's the thing with betas; its for testing out stuff, and wouldn't you know it that they actually fix stuff that is broken? Amazing.

Correction: I am ahead of time, I meant three days ago. Anyway, apparently I played the beta so much that I was instantly level 30 when I logged on after they announced this update, yaay.
Another sidenote: Uncharted 3 beta was the same way; unplayable on its first day. A lot of games end up being unplayable on their first day of retail too, so for you to not want to buy the game because of online play being 'BROKEN' which was just because of the surge of Plus subscribers all trying to get on the servers is just a shame.

I felt the multiplayer was laggy and broken... then again I am playing with Yanks when I am in Thailand at the moment.... Hit detection was a joke, sometimes people appeared out of nowhere... Won't be getting this unfortunately... would love to try a bots style(ala Brink) to see how good it could be

I'm appalled at the state of the beta, considering it shouldn't be running so badly with just a 1 or so before release (this was back when it first became available to people with Plus or bought socom 4).
Mostly I'm interested buying for just the SP only; if the MP somehow cleans up by then, great, if not, no loss.

I haven't had any freeze or lag problems playing the beta and I have had the game pre ordered since june.
