Matrix Games looking for Beta Testers

[GJK]

Cool, would love to have you on the beta testing team.  I haven't done too much testing for it lately (I did the graphics for the game and was automatically included in the beta test team) but will pick it up again as soon as I wrap up some other projects that I've been working on.  As mentioned, Frank Hunter is very open to suggestions and is very easy to do work for.

i imagine Command will be a b****** to beta

  I applied to test it.  I guess we will see.

good luck





make it good or ill be round your house!

My first suggestion will be that they change the name to something like Byzantium 1908.  How did they come up with "Command"...that is the most Nimrodian of Nimrodian Names.  In fact "Nimrod"  (or Nimrad -- my inspired typo) would be much much better.

Their original name "Red Pill" was very good.  They could take up the Red Orchestra theme (haha) and have:

Finale
Allegro
Cosi Fan Tuti
Abduction from the Seraglio
The Civil Barber of the Seraglio
Or the Game formerly known as Command

They actually had a contest to pick the new name, and Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations was the winner.  I imagine the rest of the entries really...really sucked.

Red Pill would have been a cool name but its not very descriptive of what the game is for those that haven't been following it.

I'd really like to apply to test Command or Red Storm. But I've been in the beta test for several MMO's and I find testing takes something away from the first time you fire up the release build of a game. Then again testing MMO's that have a loose story to them is different from testing a strategy game that doesn't have one at all.

  I spend most of my time in most games fooling with the editor to set up interesting scenarios, so beta testing would be something like that at least for Command ( aka Comma or Coma or Coma Berenice -- that constellation invented in ye olde Hellenistic days).  Well, i don't want to get my hopes up.

Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations...I'm in.

Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations...I'm in.

  Me too.

I applied for the Red Storm Beta...so, Cap'n Darwin, if you read this my application is sitting somewhere in Matrix's inbox (or circular file since I applied a few days ago and still haven't heard back  :( ).

Command probably would be more appropriate for me given my background, but I really want to enjoy a game like Red Storm, and I don't have time to test two games.  Gotta be realistic here.

I got accepted for Lock n Load.  Downloading now.

I know they have the system up. We have not heard anything on new folks yet. Hopefully soon. Part of the delay I believe is having an installer and serial numbers and that got worked between last night and some today. Everyone is of course in a frenzy getting materials ready for Historicon next week. Hope to see you soon in the beta.  8)

All the better - low hopes mean even stronger positive shock 8)

Wow two devs on the same post. :)

Not sure if they are still accepting testers for Command but I just sent my request in.

Probably what I would spend most of my time doing. I was already planning on doing some scenario design when it was released. This would give me a way to test them and the game at the same time.
