They have the schedule up at x360a. The BS and Gears Pre Order Beta's are just TDM. 2 maps with this week, 1 more next week. Then the first week of the open Beta will add KOTH and the last week will add CTL.

EDIT: damn phone takes so long to post with, that White Knight ninja'd me and beat me to it.

So I finally got a chance to play the beta last night and this morning. I like the sawed-off a lot, don't care much for the Retro Lancer, and never got to use incendiary grenades or the digger thing. The gameplay was fun though, with no huge glitches noticed.

I will say that it almost feels like they sped it up too much, but I can see myself getting used to it. It only took me two matches to go from terrible KD ratios and bottom of board to scooting in-and-out of cover and gibbing people with shotguns in fast, fluid motions.

I really like how they have Anya in there now. Having chicks in the COGs is a small thing but it's a nice detail to me. And some of the shit the Locust say is funny.

Also, the Hammerburst still sucks balls.

Bro, I don't know what game you were playing but I was destroying with the Hammerburst. The ADS was a great addition, granting you the ability to cross-map with a load-out weapon. The sawn-off just got on my nerves. It only does anything when you are right in someone's grill, and if you miss that one shot, you're screwed. The reload takes ages. The Retro Lancer just straight blew. You really can't hit a damn thing with it, and if you attempt to rush someone to impale them, you had better make sure they're completely unaware, otherwise you won't make it them. The digger is actually pretty damn good if you use it wisely.

But yeah, the beta is pretty kickass. It was definitely worth keeping Bulletstorm.
