I pre-load from STEAM, is that BETA?
Pre-load just means all the files required have been downloaded and installed, but the game won't be playable until the release date.

Thats a kick in the teeth, means another large download
why couldnt they just patch the beta client so it can be used as normal.Thats a kick in the teeth, means another large download
That would just make life to easy though!
Now we can't be having that!

You have an MG24 (i thik), M203 Grenade Launcer, and Grenades.... you have to practise with them which i do...... and then go speak to the trainee to qualify but i do so and they don't say anything.

if its 'steam time' it could be some time next week.
The timer says:
Available: 17 June 2009
This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 6 hours
So, 20.00 tomorrow evening.
Although, anyone remember the Killing Floor launch? - lol - Never known a bunch of fanboys get soo wound up.

If you have pre-loaded this on steam then go to your steam folder and locate where it has installed to then double click the EXE from there, people are playing it now that have pre-loaded.
It works for some, then others it dont. So it's worth a try
(C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common)

It sort of half works for me, the game loads but the only thing I can do is change the settings.
Creating an account doesn't work, nor do any of the single player training missions.

Doesn't work for me 
lol that was one of the funniest launches I've experienced. I was on the IRC and Steam chat room in hysterics at the comments/spam. The way the devs started having a go at everyone was brilliant too.
I wouldn't expect AA to open up until literally the last few hours or so. It's more likely to be an 18th June launch or even later.
I don't know a great deal about the game. Just watched a few vids on the steam channel and am liking what I see. Can you create your own squads in servers or is it automatic? Also, how big will the servers be? Judging by the size of those maps (huge) I am hoping to see 32+ players.
