IGN Entertainment’s GameSpy, a leader in multi-platform online gaming technology, today announced a licensing deal to incorporate GameSpy’s multiplayer online technology into Crytek’s upcoming sci-fi, first-person shooter game, Crysis. Under the terms of the agreement, Crytek will utilize a broad range of GameSpy technologies for online gaming and community integration in the upcoming release of Crysis. Additionally, Crytek will leverage GameSpy’s Beta testing program to expose the game to a worldwide network of gaming enthusiasts. [...]

GameSpy will also be hosting a beta test program for Crysis, giving Crytek the ability to test Crysis with gaming enthusiasts. To be available at FilePlanet, (FilePlanet: Free PC Games, Downloads, Mods, Demos, Patches & Maps), this beta program will allow Crytek to fine-tune Crysis and receive feedback on gameplay, while detecting any early problems within the game. The beta test program will provide invaluable feedback and generate buzz for the game leading up to its November release.

No source was listed, so I'm not sure about the credibility. I'm also inclined to say that I hate it when FP hosts betas. They always manage to screw them over somehow.

I should think the beta has got to be extremely soon considering release in November.
