Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 on XBL Today! Street Fighter Beta June 25th!
June 11th, 2008 Seth Killian
So the long-awaited Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 is out TODAY on Xbox Live. The game is a lot of old-school run+gun fun, and you can see the latest Commando 3 screens from CAPTIVATE08, watch some video here, and fall in love all over again.
That much is simple, but unfortunately there’s also a bit of confusion swirling around the details about the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Beta (that you get free!). Let me try and clear this up.
To play the SSF2T HD Remix Beta, here’s what you do:
1) Buy Commando 3 on XBL. Play it, love it.
2) In the Commando 3 menu, you’ll notice an option for “Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Beta” (insert long name joke here). If you hit that option, you’ll get an error. Why is this? Because the SSF2T HD Remix Beta isn’t live until June 25th.
3) If you hit the Beta menu option on or after June 25th, 2008, you’ll be taken to an XBL blade offering to let you download the new SSF2T HD Remix Beta.
4) Download the Beta, and then you can find it your “Games Library” under “Demos.”
5) Start it up and commence dragon-punchery.
And also, just to be clear, the SSF2T HD Remix Beta does not come with Commando 3 on PSN. Unfortunately the Beta is only available with Commando 3 on XBox Live, although the network improvements that we make post-Beta will improve the final, full product on XBL and PSN alike.

Awesome! Just in time for my birthday (tomorrow, June 12). Yay!
thanks! I’ll help spread the word about the 25th.
Which of the following three statements is true:
a) the HDR beta be open until it’s over; you can buy C3 at any time
b) you need to buy C3 before the beta starts in order to participate
c) something between a) and b)
Closest to a)
Beta will be open for 8 weeks after it launches on June 25th. You can buy Commando 3 anytime within that window to participate in the Beta.
EIGHT WEEKS after it launches on June 25th??
so SF2 Beta runs until like SEPTEMBER?
meaning the retail/final release isn’t till Sept/Oct at the earliest?
dirrrrrrrrrty!
(oh and you guys are lameeeee for not putting the beta on PS3 lol)
