Why don't you start the preorder and beta with summer steam sale?
Pre-order? Maybe. Beta access? Waiting would be a much better idea. But you wanna be careful, they don't want it to scream OMG EARLY BETA ACCESS because in games like Cod, Moh and other clones, the "early beta" is another way of saying "demo that you pay for" and anything that you find and point out in those game's betas rarely (if ever) get any attention.
So really, I vote that TWI keep their current beta plan, but perhaps start the preorders when the current stage of the beta is making progress, and the 10,000 beta key thing is kept invitation only. AFAIK, you don't even need to buy the game to have a look at this beta.
MoH was released in Jan. 2002, so it is hardly a clone.
I'd rather pay for beta access and help TWI out in a real betatest than getting fooled around by fake "demo access" that major recent titles put up.
It's like a woodpecker, but with dirt!
I know, I used to play MoH when it was new, but I'm referring to the NEW MoH game which is by all means, a clone of CoD.
MoH was released in Jan. 2002, and Call of Duty was released in Oct. 2003, a long time before RO., and they set the benchmark for FPS. games at the time, so they can hardly be called clones. If anything it was the other way about.
Ro also came about in 2003, and long before any of them, there was D-day 1944, which to my knowledge was the first WWII shooter (that didn't have magical powers, Nazi zombies and Robot Hitler, but if we count that, then Wolf3D was first, obvioulsy).
