BattleCom Client & Server Beta Released

BattleCom Client & Server Beta moves into players' hands through a shipment, demo, patch, beta, or gold master in February 1999.

BattleCom Client & Server Beta gives players an early slice of the action, and in 1999 that means another download queue worth babysitting.

The names attached here include Beta Bites, Shadowfactor, BattleCom Client Version, BattleCom Server Public Beta, and March 23. The hook is beta. The hard numbers include Version 1, Beta 2, Beta 4, Beta 1, and 1.2.

Good. More games, more patches, more demos. The stack keeps growing, and nobody around here is pretending that is a problem.
