    sorry mate but i was just about to send you my spare key but its linked to my email :( so wont work.

    we have to tick a disclaimer that we will not release any data of gameplay or video and it can only be talked about in the closed alpha forum :( but this is the norm for closed alphas.

    i think the keys are linked to either your email or your crytek login so not sure they will work.
    ive sent my spare to someone to check to see if it will work and will let you know when i find out.

    release says 8am gmt uk time so i guess 8am tomorrow morning. so you can work your world times out its 11am in uk now.


    edit: more keys available on page 4 of this thread. no idea how many there are or how long they will last

    so ALPHA is live and im stuck at work until 4pm

    and of course due to alpha terms and conditions we cant talk about it openly until NDA is lifted.

    the crytek hidden alpha forum should now be open so see you on the other side later :)
