The VIP demo will be available from January 25th to January 27th and those who take part will earn an exclusive item after Anthem launches. The open demo will be available from February 1st to February 3rd.

I note that players will be able to stream the demo, I think it is quite possible that streaming will be the death of NDA late into a games development. By the time you want them playing you need them streaming for maximum marketing potential.
Well Beta tests aren't really Beta tests anymore they are just a fancy demo. They already had an Alpha test already and to test out the whole game that can be done internally for the most part. Stress testing and filling the servers with players is the point of a Beta test mostly anyway.

Your perspective on what a "Beta Test" should be bears no relevance to any developers and anyone else in this world.
Just because the terminology chosen by the developers, to describe troubleshooting of bug, glitches, errors, does not match yours. It does not imply that the testing process is absent.
If you have not worked at a game development studio. You should tread carefully when blowing accusations out of your impulsive anus.
However merely seconds after that thought,i looked at the pic again and know what i see...lmao...
The Power Rangers !!! ...sigh.
I need to say this because it is so frustrating to see game after game come out and just MISS IT.
This game will be too much corner cutting on the design,especially the class/character designs.I simply look over there,a game with 22 classes all with varied gear/weapon choices all with hundreds of varied animations and sounds.Then i look over here and see the Power Rangers with some load outs.
I see that game over there,a huge open world,then i see this,flying through lanes in the jungle.The trees won't hide the fact it will be very linear and lanes.
The only positive i see is taking a single player game and adding co-op so friends can play together.They COULD have called it a MMO like everyone else and added a cash shop.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
But what ever floats your boat.
you people are pathetic.
I had fun once, it was terrible.
"oh no only 10 white males in this one.. so unfair
I had fun once, it was terrible.
I'm talking about EA employees literally posting racist and sexist crap all over the internet about White males. You know, their core base?
White males are EA's core base? Just like the KKK and Neo-Nazis! The defenders of white males!
FO 76 suffered from a lack of internal testing and a sever lack of external testing. The only people allowed in the test were those that pre-ordered, not a real "stress test" as they called it. At least EA has the stones to put the game out there in an open beta. Positive or negative, it will still give them feedback on what needs to be fixed or considered for the future.
