A call to arms (and keyboards)
Posted 1 decade ago by Fortress Forever Team
As we make the final push for release we are asking for the HL2 community's help.
We see the need to bring on a new group of testers who can help with load testing, as well as provide feedback and influence improvements on the first gameplay experience new players will have.
If you are a player of Half-Life mods, curious what the game is all about and most importantly feel you could contribute to making it better then you are the person we are looking for.
But remember before you apply that beta testing is not simply for fun, it can be repetitive and boring at times. We favor testers who are willing to help out with the mod in various ways, not simply play the game -- you will be an extension of the dev. team, and should take and expect responsibility as such, especially in this crunch time phase. Examples:
- Detailed report on first impressions of the mod and gameplay
- Helping other beta testers with problems in IRC / forums
- Updating bug reports and providing detailed feedback about bug reproduction
- Helping out community mappers test maps
- Help organise testing groups
- Any other talents you can contribute
Above all, the ability to constructively communicate is a must.
Remember to register on the forums if you have not before sending the application. You will need this valid forum name and a Half-Life 2 / HL2 Deathmatch SteamID to be considered.
