Isnt the credits system in effect now? so you can just invite him to play now.

All I know is Xbox sent me an email this morning with 3 Beta codes, and told me to give them to friends.

Last week of the beta this week too, might have a quick blast later but won't bother for the rest of the week.

I unlocked the retail gold retro lancer yesterday while playing with ArKade and Kini.

So far the only things I haven't unlocked are a few of the weapon executions.  Is there any real benefit for unlocking all of the executions, or are they just icing on the Beta cake?

I'm sure Epic wants people to have to unlock a ton of stuff (again) to make sure their game gets played for a while to come.

I'm playing until I reach level 25 (I'm currently at 23)

Yeah, deadline's creeping up. Gotta remember to finish off my 100 gold retro lancer kills sometime this week.

Gotta motivate myself to play one match at some point this week

[GamerMan316]

I'll be glad when the beta has finished.

I'll be glad when the beta has finished.

Why? It's been brilliant, I've been playing it almost exclusively, it's been a good way to get rid of any "score whoring" inclinations I had, can't wait for the full release

I kinda agree, that way our community game nights won't be so split

I got the impression that, with Failed having stepped down as Gaming Mod and Dave & Vikki leaving that game nights were likely to be a thing of the past.
