Those at PAX will be lucky enough to see Sony's Massive Action Game in all its glory, with a full 256-player session scheduled for tomorrow night. However, the publisher does not want the rest of us sadsacks to miss out, and will be using Twitter to give out MAG beta codes all day today.
The way it works is quite simple. Sony will be Tweeting questions on its Sony PlayStation account and the first six followers to answer correctly will get a code sent their way. If you are yet to play MAG and want a slice of the PS3's next big shooter, then this is your chance to get an early look. It's a really good game, even if it does have the most overwhelming HUD in the world.
I actually don't have a beta code for MAG and I want one. Perhaps I shall take part myself.

The graphics are no where near as nice looking as the screen shots make it out to be, it looks like BattleField 2 IMO. The gameplay also needs a few tweaks here and there for balancing guns.
It's fun but I'll wait for the final version before I pull the trigger on this one as if it's release in it's current state it will be a budget purchase for me :/
I am in the beta and I must say, all the HUD elements are useful and the animation totally does not suck.
I played the Beta as well. The walking animations were dreadful. Was there an update for it or something?
I also hate how long you sit in the lobby waiting for a game to start. I think that's to do with the small amount of people actually beta testing though.
Why can't Sony include a damn Jabra headset or something with the new Slim consoles?
Also are most Dtoiders still Raven?? I want to restart my character but noticed I'm the only Valor it seems and don't like playing alone. I may be making the jump.
I haven't updated yet, but I think I'm gonna stay Raven. Valor looks like crap. However, I might go SVER depending on the poll results on the forum.
