Well here it goes my road/story to become a tester.
Either way I started out in the F|H Tournament playing then eventually I joined there Testing team and was there for around 1 full year, I was also lucky that on the same testing team for the F|H testing team were 2 Beta testers and they noticed me and my eager/time spend and the fact that I always showed up for the testing’s and was very devoted towards the Mod/testing.
So when the Mod looked for testers around 1 year ago now or basically just after Normandy was released they suggested me to the Mod team and I was in luck, and received a mail with an invite.
And I have to say the euphoria I experienced when I was joining the testing team, was beyond describable, I am so happy that I am a part of the Testing team and the Mod and that I have the possibility to help make this a better Mod and help reduced glitches/bugs etc. off cause there are huge plusses like that we get to see map and equipment but remember a lot off it doesn’t work when we get it, that’s were the testers like me come in to the picture, we are there to make it work to make sure ones it is release it works and is something the public can enjoy and play with and have fun with, and yes we are whipped and yes we are tortured, nahh to be honest some times like that last patch that hade around a 1000 plus minus a few, bug fixes, sounds, glitches, game play tweaks, balance issues, etc in it was really really hard to test and isn’t always fun, but we get it done for 1 simple reason the release day is one off the biggest things at least it is for me seeing peoples comments in game and on the forums after a release, and besides its loads off more fun to play it with the public after release.
Doing testing I am also making sure that every thing is being tested even if it means I have to doo things to the other testers doing testing that they hate or will dislike me for but I doo it to make sure the point is well made or that it is something that if in need to be changed its clearly understandable bye my actions, I am always trying to stay true to the testing as much as possible and what we are being told to test and follow the Devs advice/orders, and give the suggestion/advice to the mappers/devs as I think they shut be in a fair manor towards both game play and the Mods philosophy.
I have been a Beta tester for around 1 year now, and I am not leaving ever, if I can avoid it. Plain and simple this mod is THE MOD! For me and have been sins day 1 of FH1 release were I played this and fell in love and I have been here ever since, witch is actually a really really long time bye now. And i can almost say with a 100% confidence that i have played this Mod almost 1 time atleast every week for the past feew years with offcause a feew eceptions.
