As clocks struck midnight around the globe,
Ubisoft began turning on servers and releasing beta keys for its upcoming console RTS
Tom Clancy's EndWar. Due to the staggered release of keys for the small beta (speculation is only 15,000 testers were selected) some of the testers were quick to proclaim the release a disaster; as it turns out Ubisoft was intentionally releasing the beta in waves throughout the evening and early morning.
Tom Clancy's EndWar Beta, which clocks in at a sizable 2.98GB, gives players the chance to play through one of three planned online modes in 1v1 or 2v2 matches and is planned to run until July 7.

I still havent gotten the email. Its not looking good.
Neuromancer @ Jun 16th 2008 11:55AM
Yeah wonder why. I told them I had GRAW, GRAW 2 and Rainbox Six so I wonder if that didn't fit their criteria somehow.
xenocidic @ Jun 16th 2008 12:43PM
Log in to the http://www.endwarbeta.com and they'll plaster a "HERE'S YOUR KEY" up as the first thing you see when trying to get to the forums.
I started downloading it this morning.
arcite79 @ Jun 16th 2008 11:35AM
Downloading the beta now.
offday @ Jun 16th 2008 11:37AM
Aw man. I never get in. :(
DjDATZ @ Jun 16th 2008 11:43AM
I started my download this morning @ 7:20...i was at 20% by 7:29...So i'm assuming that by the time i got in to work, it was already downloaded. lol
I hope you all enjoy your slow download speeds. LOL
c. thomas @ Jun 16th 2008 12:12PM
Wow your connection slow started at 12:10 now at 30%
DjDATZ @ Jun 16th 2008 12:33PM
My 360's on wireless...so yes, the connection is slower.
c. thomas @ Jun 16th 2008 12:40PM
JUICED LIKSPRUC XBLGT lets play
Boff @ Jun 16th 2008 11:54AM
No email for me either :o(
I'll be back here tomorrow for opinions on the Beta!
RESISTANCE @ Jun 16th 2008 12:29PM
Actually there was an NDA agreement so no you wn't be receiving any opinions on the beta. Well you probably will but those people might get into a little trouble.
Donald @ Jun 16th 2008 12:10PM
After 3 hours I am at 51% Dammit.
Zac LaCombe @ Jun 16th 2008 11:57AM
Finally! I couldn't wait any longer.
Zac LaCombe @ Jun 16th 2008 11:58AM
Also, make sure to check your actual EndWar account because I never got any e-mails period pertaining to the beta, but there was a surprise awaiting me when I logged in there.
Phil J W @ Jun 16th 2008 12:27PM
what dod you mean endwar account? i go to login it asks for a clearance code, which im guessing we SHOULD get in our emails??
Neon Jebus @ Jun 16th 2008 12:27PM
I've tried that but it won't let me login. It keeps asking for a Ubi VIP code which I don't have. I can't login through the other EndWar page either because it says my username / email is not on file. Oddly though it IS on file as I have the confirmation emails from when I signed up. Odd...
PS360 Jonesy @ Jun 17th 2008 6:33PM
Too Bad X3F cant play the beta because you have to sign an nda.... lol. blame AOL.
Master E @ Jun 16th 2008 12:19PM
Started the down load at 6:00 am this morning and at 7 am it was at 40%. Ready to play after I get home from work tonight.
Momer @ Jun 16th 2008 12:17PM
All I can say is glitchy. As. Hell.
Studley @ Jun 16th 2008 12:18PM
Right. Well, it's a beta. So no doubt you've filed your individual findings through the proper channels?
Ah no, you're one of those people who signed up for it just because you get to play a bit of a game for free.
Zac LaCombe @ Jun 16th 2008 12:22PM
As the poster before me stated, when you signed up for this beta, they made sure to tell you that this was a real beta (not a polished Halo 3/COD4 Demo) and that there would be glitches. Instead of complaining, get on the forums and document the problems in a legible format. If you're not going to do that, don't play.
Momer @ Jun 16th 2008 2:05PM
Wow, a lot of assumptions going on here. I am definitely one of those people right... I do report bugs. What I am pissed about is winning 4 games and having a 0 - 0 record, saying my faction has been reset and then having it log in normally, losing connection to servers, telling me in the barracks that I now have balance to buy shit and having ZERO command points. It's just irritating. I'm allowed to say it is glitchy.
Steve @ Jun 17th 2008 2:38AM
Actually, you signed a legally binding Non-Disclosure agreement so you're NOT allowed to say ANYTHING. Don't like those terms? Don't play.
victor360hd @ Jun 16th 2008 12:20PM
i downloaded my beta on 25 minutes
Sunny @ Jun 16th 2008 12:29PM
And you're a tool.
hackman @ Jun 16th 2008 12:32PM
you don't know me
hackman @ Jun 16th 2008 12:32PM
you don't even know me
SytheMaster @ Jun 16th 2008 12:45PM
Is the key sent as an email or a message to your xbox live profile since I've had nothing yet...
Studley @ Jun 16th 2008 12:54PM
You should get an email telling you that your beta key is available, and that you should log into the Endwar Beta website to retrieve your key.
If you don't get an email, just try going to the site and see if it's there when you login.
victor360hd @ Jun 16th 2008 12:53PM
email
todd @ Jun 16th 2008 1:36PM
You get the key after you sign into the endwarbeta.com... not in an email, you get an email telling you to head there to retrieve it.
Nathan3p0 @ Jun 16th 2008 12:57PM
Just downloaded the game, if you wanna play hit me up on xbox live at Nathan3p0. The 0 is a zero.
Maverick Saturn @ Jun 16th 2008 12:58PM
Thank god for that
Maverick Saturn @ Jun 16th 2008 12:59PM
Any good people?
DjDATZ @ Jun 16th 2008 1:09PM
We're not allowed to say are we? NDA be damned. Not that I've played it yet. :P
todd @ Jun 16th 2008 1:34PM
I'll be playing tonight.
offday @ Jun 16th 2008 1:56PM
Well no email or key for me on the site.
Oh well. At least I got into the Shadowrun beta! Yay! *starts to cry*
Looks like more Lego Indiana Jones then.
JBurton @ Jun 16th 2008 2:39PM
I love how the people that are playing it are actually playing
"Xbox 360 Dashboard - Online - None"
DM7000 @ Jun 16th 2008 3:00PM
So I assume there is no chance of getting in now, right?
Neeko @ Jun 16th 2008 4:09PM
DAMN NO CODE FOR ME. guess il just wait a couple months for the game reviews.
Flakundenga @ Jun 16th 2008 4:15PM
w00t downloading right now!!!!
HalfAzn @ Jun 16th 2008 4:54PM
Downloaded it a little while ago...got my ass kicked twice and I think my teammate in the first game got mad at me, LOL. How the hell am I supposed to know exactly what to do on my very first game?? C'mon.
Erik @ Jun 16th 2008 5:07PM
I was dissapointed with it. Small text and the camera was annoying. Also, to slow paced. So Im done playing.
Got all excited for nothing.
Steve @ Jun 17th 2008 2:33AM
Due to the NDA I can neither confirm not deny that Endwar is awesome or shitty.
Xav de Matos @ Jun 17th 2008 2:34AM
*nods head*
Ronan @ Jun 18th 2008 6:38AM
I got a key but it's not working. Anyone else getting an error message stating " This ccode is not valid. Please enter a valid code" I'm based in Europe ?
