GameSpot has some codes to give away.

the game doesnt look all that great but its freakin fun.its col you can either go at it as a shooter or just do the tower defense thing if youre playing ctf. i like the transformer jet but the jetpacks are the shit.

Sony sent me a beta code for the private beta today. Chances are it's going to a buddy of mine, since I can't be bothered to get trounced in this game like I did in Warhawk.

The Public Beta opens up on Tuesday to PS+ and private beta members:

This past November and December we conducted our Private Beta for Starhawk. It was incredibly valuable to our team at LightBox and SCEA Santa Monica. We really appreciate all of the time that players have spent uncovering bugs and glitches, we would have never been able to find this many of them without real-world gameplay. The Beta effort has been a true partnership with our community so we humbly thank you all. Without your help, we wouldn’t be able to progress to the next chapter in the development of the game: the Public Beta! We’re now happy to announce that the Starhawk Public Beta begins this Tuesday, January 17th. This is a crucial step for us as we’ll be testing all sorts of things, including game balance, server traffic, and general bugs. This is also a chance for more players to finally see what we’ve been working so hard on. As we’ve been getting so much support and encouragement from fans and press alike, we’re excited to spread the love and get more input to make the best game possible. “That looks kind of fun, right? So maybe you want in the Beta now? Well, take a look below and see how to get early access. This Beta will include lots more functionality and features (details coming next week) so mark February 21st on your calendars because that’s when it will be completely open! Who gets in, and when? (North American Starhawk Beta schedule) January 17: All PlayStation Plus subscribers and all Private Beta participants (who haven’t erased their original Private Beta files). You can learn more about PS Plus here. January 31: UNCHARTED 3 Beta key holders. These voucher codes were found inside of North American copies of UNCHARTED 3. February 7: Visit GameStop and PlayStation on Facebook and see how you can get early voucher codes. February 14: IGN.com (details to be revealed soon) February 21: Everyone with a PlayStation Network account…in other words, everyone who wants in, gets in! Beta FAQ If I was in the Private Beta, am I in the Public Beta? If you were in the Private Beta, you are in the Public Beta for the duration. DO NOT delete the Private Beta file from your PS3 or else you won’t have access. Worse, you will be…unhappy. Is this a demo? This is NOT a demo. You can expect to find bugs and the vast majority of the game features planned for the final game will not be implemented. Of course, many of you will not read this sentence and will expect the Beta to be final quality. We ask that the community help itself and remind players that this is a test. It happens to be a pretty fun test, but it is a test regardless. Keep an open mind and we’ll continue to regularly update the Beta with changes based directly on your feedback. Remember when you were a kid and you wanted to help make games? This is your chance! When does the Public Beta end? When the game is good and ready! Honestly, when we’ve learned all we can and feel we can deliver the best product to you. Basically, sometime after February 21st, BUT it’s our recommendation that you do not delay joining or you might find your window of opportunity passing you by. What’s different from the Private Beta? We’re going to reveal more about the content updates soon enough. Patience, Padawan… Will you test out the solo campaign? Nope! The Public Beta is solely based around the multiplayer experience. While we have a robust solo story campaign in the final game, we can get our testing done elsewhere for that. How do you send us feedback? This is very important…to give us feedback, please visit http://us.playstation.com/psn/ and use your PSN login to enter the Beta forums. If you are in the Beta, you can enter the forums. Remember though…with Beta testing comes Beta responsibility. We are on these forums hourly looking for bug info, so please use this. We need your help and this is the best way to give us info.

Starhawk will be out on May 8 and they've shared a few more things about what's improved with this build of the beta:

What’s in the Public Beta? Everything mentioned in the video with a ton of fixes, updates, etc. At the start we’re adding the following content on top of Private Beta content… Classic Arcade Flight-Mode: Private Beta players asked for it and we’re happy to include the classic arcade flight from Warhawk. Host Migration: When the host leaves the game, the hosting duties transfer to another player and gameplay will continue, provided the option is checked. Language Support: European and Japanese languages are included. Korea, China, Latin America and Brazil will be in English…but these will include the appropriate languages for the full game. Skills: Players will be able to collect unique Skills to use in gameplay based on their performance. Playstation Network Friend Integration: Friends status, messages, and friend requests. Bug Fixes: Lots and lots of bugs have been addressed.

Anybody with the private beta on their hard drives can download the update to the public beta build now.

SO I just realized this was auto downloaded to my hardrive. I played for a little bit but it like crashed and now I seem to be stuck in a loop where I can't connect to the server or something.

I saw it, thanks again! I couldn't find it anywhere else online.

anyone playing the beta? i havent seen cag comments on gameplay. the lack of the interest is steering me away from day 1 purchase.

I didn't think I was going to like it, but I truly love it. I don't like the knife being so powerful....but other than that I enjoyed my first round. The game felt like a third person borderlands, and I really wish that's what this game could be. Huge story mode with different types of transform able vehicles, and with an borderlands ish selection of guns.

I love this game! And that's saying a lot because I don't play online at all. But it seems this game is going to change that.

Anyways, I have beta code from Uncharted 3 that I don't need since I'm a PS+ member. PM me if you want it.

Good to hear that this has the addiction factor that Warhawk had. Cant wait to get the band back together!!!

Liking this a lot, as it feels like Warhawk after the jetpack DLC with more freedom to how you play since the various parts of your base can be placed anywhere. Unless I'm missing something, it would be nice to have the buildings that have been built appear on the minimap so I don't have to build a jetpack station because I can't find/see one. I'm hoping that they unlock Zone mode since that's the Warhawk mode I enjoyed the most and TDM/CTF aren't really what I'd play most in the finished game.

How many maps are in it?

Two maps. One's in space and the other's on the planet.

Does anyone know how many Hawk pickups there are in the beta?

Hawk pickups?
