Sorry to disappoint everyone, but there will be no beta released at the end of August. I'm not going to get into it here, but just know the press release is wrong and at the most, we will be hitting a non-multiplayer alpha by the end of august that WILL NOT be released to the public. I can't give you an ETA on when a Beta will happen, so don't ask.
Hah. This should've been said long ago.
Now I say: How can I help to get the release faster? (I don't have any skills developed enough to do technical things :/)

Then you can't
LMAO @ last 2 posts!
And I'm fine with the game taking a long time. It's understandable, you guys are limited on resources. There's no reason we can't be patient to be honest. Take your time, but I think we'd all still like to hear about your progress come September. Not that you wouldn't tell us.
Ah, fuck. I knew it was too good to be true :/
Take your time guys, I'd rather have a quality effort that a rushed job like UBI does.
The point for me still is that we'll have a game that was an effort of a few pillar community members because as a whole we're disappointed with how UBI went with the direction of the franchise. Whatever we get and whenever we get it doesn't mean as much to me as getting something we like and appreciate in the end.
I greatly appreciate the efforts you all have put into this.
Too bad that this mis-information is many syndicated over several "game-news" sites and blogs.
It's gonna be fun seeing all the threads asking for the beta
I agree with the above posts. Take as long as you need, don't rush to get a beta out just because everyone wants one. I honestly don't think people will be turned away because of this. If anything it will make the wait easier knowing you will be releasing a better product instead of rushing something. It's ready when it's ready, simple as that.
To be honest, a game is never finished. There is always something to add or change in the end. If you aim for a deadline (ofcourse not by the end of august) you will have a better product. Ofcourse that is if the deadline is reasonable.
So let's say there would be a alpha/closed beta near the end of january it should be a better product then if you would work on it till it's finished which is never.
"will be no beta released at the end of August"
What? What am I paying you guys in Hot Pockets for?
In all seriousness take your time and work hard. Just try not to "take your time" to the extent Ubisoft Montreal has.
well Ill say this out front , I had full documentation of that which was being sent to Colgne germany for gamescom and well I kick myself in the ass for not questioning the word : Beta..

Don't open an old can of worms that that was sealed a long time ago , hence they can't do anything because everything is made from scratch.

That was the sound of a joke flying way over your head.
Haha! Nothing can fly over my head, I'm IN MY HOUSE! Good try, loser. :D

Once again you fail to hit the nail and instead hit your dumb which is itching now.
They're obviously going to sue them for spreading a false rumor, which the mindless gaming website corporations put on their website and is now making them look like incompetent fools with bad sources.

That statement is wrong, everything uploaded to MSUC is made public by default. We will have more information when the time gets near the 31st of August, thank you for understanding.
We had like 70 people yesterday at GamesCom by the way. And I did a video-interview with GamersNet.nl (which we will request to get English subtitles for the community his sake ;)). We did a Live Demo of the Spy in Lakehouse like whole day and gave away businesscards with the URL to this site. So, who knows what GamesCom brings us :)
I'm back now to get stuff for the alpha rolling, will post some pictures later today.
Will you post some photos from Gamescon ?

Ubisoft doesn't care, stop opening old wounds and putting salt into them.

If you care so much about what ubisoft `thinks`or `cares` listen to your sweet innocent concscience and stop working on this mod. And if not, get over it.
Ubi was two years ago, people. Don't you guys think it's about time to move on?

Most likely, but I think you found me an asshole after I asked you how to watch child pornography anonymously.
Wait what?
Dwarf, either post something relevant or don't post at all.
Ubi never cared. An ignorant volunteer Ubi moderator cared hated and convinced an ignorant Ubi CM to shut us down.
Those are the only two people associated with Ubi that cared.
How ubisoft fucking even got invovled in this fucking thread is beyond me. Seriously. How. Ubisoft has nothing to do with anything at all ever and for the end of time. Shut. The. Fuck. Left. Or Right... or down if you want to. Just Shut The.

OH, you missed the part where this mod was completely taken from a ubisoft product? You can read up on the game here:

;D
Agent read that UBI thread you posted. From said thread
"Current plan is to have a beta by the end of August. But, there is a lot of variables to consider, so if that doesn't happen, don't cry about it."
the plan never was to have a beta at the end of august, but an alpha version to enter msuc. goosh, hypes grow fast on the interwebz...

I didn't say it had nothing to do with Splinter Cell but as ubisoft as a company. THey never had for one second any real power to do anything at all to us.
