Is there a way to get Portal 2 Beta? - Page 7

jasona99 · 03-20-2012, 06:42 PM

If you need another tester, I am willing (well much more than "willing")!

I have used Hammer and created a few maps, although none have really been released and are pretty bad compared to some I have played. I also think I should mention I have been using Portal 2 and Hammer recently, but sadly the PC I was using was offline. I am willing to provide feedback about bugs, stability, features, things to add, etc. if I am added to the Beta.

I can't wait to try it, even if I do not get the chance while it's in Beta!

Thanks!

If you need anyone who is better at using Hammer than they are designing puzzles, count me in. Here is an example of my work. Not to say that I think my puzzles are bad, but I would say I spent about as much time designing as I did detailing on that map.

Also, thanks for opening up the beta like this! You guys rock.

I have experimented with mapping a bunch of times, and found it to time consuming and fiddly to work with for casual mappers, but I'm following the development of this with great interest.

Well... i dont know anything about mapping but if you want someone to give feedback or report bugs i am the man, i have joined in tons of closed betas and i want to still doing it, and more if its somethig related with Portal =D.

Isn't the entire point of the DLC simplicity?...
Just sayin'...

This is as good a place as any to apply, I guess, so if you're interested just drop your name here and we'll periodically take some of your names to add to the queue. If you've published some good Portal 2 maps, feel free to link them here. Fair warning: beta key handouts are at our discretion and this isn't a formal first-come-first-serve queue, just a place to put your name in the hopper.

I love mapping but the hammer editor is too complex for me! I would love to be in the beta and I understand if an nda is required. Steam ID: theblackoutiscoming

Hey, think I could get in to the Beta? I've been thinking about some awesome ideas for maps, but find Hammer too confusing. Portal 2 Beta is the perfect gateway!

Yes, PLEASE DON'T let them translate the DLC. PLEASE. It hurts to look. I'm willing to help fix some DLC translating problems.(Portuguese PT or BR). Cheers.

Been mapping for about 5 years in hammer and pretty much exclusively for Portal 2 since it's release!

Made this in the first week of Portal 2's release!

Pretty experienced with beta testing so you can expect honest and frank feedback!

Would love to help with the Beta if/when you need novice map makers. I've never used Hammer, but i can't wait to make maps with the new map editor.

My Portal 2 videos have got over 1.5million views on the youtubes; I did those cube tricks videos. Some map makers frown upon ninja & cube throwing being used as solutions to puzzles. Not in my maps though!
