I'd post this as news, but I can't currently for some odd reason. So I'm posting it h:)e :)

The beta is now open to ALL Gamespot members, but you better hurry before they run out of keys.

I'm posting this as news in a few mins, now that I can post news again.

Ok, tried it...

It looks and plays fantastic... when it does.

~5 minutes of loading time, 998 mb ram, and 1.6 gb swap file usage (normal win usage: 350 ram, 200 swap), stutters every 10 sec, and US-only servers are a big let down.

The single-player demo ran great on my computer, so I really fail to see what's the huge issue in multiplayer... Hope they drastically decrease the memory requirements until the final release...

My specs:

AthlonXP 2800+ @ 2200mhz

2x 512 DDR 400

ATI x1600pro - 256 MB

It's the stupid Source engine and its arcitechture. All Source games suffer from stutter and GBs of RAM usage.

Haven't had problems with HL2, CS:S, Episode 1, or the M&M singleplayer demo (ok, only the sound stutter issue)

Care to elaborate your claim?

I love the source engine, but i am hating it on this Beta lol! I play CS:S, HL2, DOD and all run no problems, load within seconds dnt have any sound problems! I run M&M beta....takes 5+ mins to load and once i finally get in it sorta jutters for a bit when the man talks at the start but i dnt really mind that! Its the loading and reeeeeeeally annoys me!!

    • The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.
    • Hmm actually looks decently interesting!  
    • Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
