Starhawk launching a semi-public private beta for Warhawk veterans in November
14
Lightbox Interactive is hosting a private beta for Starhawk in November, but with a twist -- this private beta will be selectively public. Lightbox will invite "a bunch of" dedicated Warhawk players to test out Starhawk this November, chosen by their rank in Warhawk, their community involvement and a few other undisclosed parameters, president Dylan Jobe said.
The public private beta will include access to a secure SCEA forum for players to discuss the game and ask questions of the Lightbox team, who will also post their PSN handles and be available for voice chat in-beta. If you're a Warkhawk beast with a clean record, look for an email with an invite soon.

This is how it should be. Most beta's these days are just played, not tested.

Warhwak was a great game and all but... Do that many people actually play it that much anymore?

@bargaingamer I'm pretty sure it was announced that Uncharted 3 would include a Starhawk beta code?

Sucks that I won't be able to get in. Something was wrong with my warhawk account and I just stopped ranking up at point. Oh well. I just hope that they make it a little easier to rank up this time around.

Yes this may be restricted to the crazy high ranked folks, but honestly that is right and proper at this point. This beta will clearly affect balance and such, rather than just being a server load test like most betas these days. So it makes sense to get those that know EVERYTHING out warhawk to test it out and provide meaningful feedback. I wouldnt doubt they will have an open beta server load test closer to launch.
