The beta will not be a full version of the game, and will only function during specific time frames.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
Yeah, it’s nice to be guaranteed access with a pre-order. I never liked the lottery approach. I’m also hoping they go through with the potential reward for beta testing, as it makes for a nice badge, plus it fits with the MMO trend of rewarding special activity. If they can learn one thing from what Destiny has done right, it’s the trinkets and little bonuses they give players for being active members. They’ll need that kind of support to keep the game viable long term.
I just wanted to clarify that anyone who pre-orders The Division is guaranteed access to the Closed Beta, even if you pre-order it during the beta period. Confirmation can be seen inthis Official Podcast.
