Here's the latest Auto Assault newsletter:
<blockquote>
We’re back from E3, tired and weary,
but did we have a great time! We appreciate everyone stopping by the booth,
jamming with The Mutaytor (weren’t they awesome?!), and playing Auto Assault in droves. Now that E3 is
done and gone, the in-depth previews, booth reviews, and various awards are
starting to come out, and so far Auto
Assault has gotten its share of positive press everywhere we look.
We’re stoked and working that much harder to get the game on a store shelf near
you as soon as possible! 
We are proud to announce that the
Game Critics Awards site, which is comprised of 33 media outlets from around the
world, has nominated Auto Assault
as one of the five best online multiplayer games of the show (the full nominee
list is available at <a href="http://www.gamecriticsawards.com/nom.html" title="http://www.gamecriticsawards.com/nom.ht ... om.html</a>).

A wide selection of information,
links, and images from E3 can be seen at <a href="http://www.autoassault.com/e3_2005.html" title="http://www.autoassault.com/e3_2005.html ... 05.html</a>.
Some new previews are now available from G4TV (<a href="http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/features/5182 ... eport.html" title="http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/features/5182 ... rt.html</a>)
and RPGFan (<a href="http://rpgfan.com/news/2005/1508.html" title="http://rpgfan.com/news/2005/1508.html"> ... 08.html</a>).

We have a number of updates this
week on the Auto Assault
(http:/www.autoassault.com) website, including a new chapter in our historical
preludes, called As Good As New
(<a href="http://www.autoassault.com/recon/recon_ ... pter4.html" title="http://www.autoassault.com/recon/recon_ ... r4.html</a>),
a look at the Mutant Archon class (<a href="http://www.autoassault.com/recon/recon_ ... rchon.html" title="http://www.autoassault.com/recon/recon_ ... on.html</a>),
and we’ve added the first entry in our new Enemies section (<a href="http://www.autoassault.com/recon/enemies.html" title="http://www.autoassault.com/recon/enemie ... es.html</a>),
detailing the Pike Duster (<a href="http://www.autoassault.com/recon/recon_ ... uster.html" title="http://www.autoassault.com/recon/recon_ ... er.html</a>).

Our beta is still going strong and
we are in the process of selecting the next wave of testers to join us. It’s not
too late to register! Zoom over to <a href="https://secure.plaync.com/cgi-bin/playn ... gnup.pl</a> and sign up! </blockquote>
Anyone in the beta? I know there are some who play MMORPGs here.

I just signed up for the beta, I am very curious to know if there is anything in the game beyond driving and shooting.

I just got into beta, i have to sign some NDA then have to fax or mail it. This is liek the first time I've ever officially been accepted in a beta. Brings a tear to my eye. I did say i was interested in the game when everyone else said it looked like shit, so maybe one of the devs is looking over the place and saw me.

I thought the game looked fine as far as graphics went, it's the deeper gameplay (if there is any) that needs to be seen.

Controlling the vehicle with the keyboard while aiming with the mouse was a pain, I think it would work best with a joystick or wheel for one hand and the mouse in the other.

You were accepted in the beta because you're the only one to have signed up
