Three hours until the COD4 beta...

[Mattigus]

...and already the site is down. Pretty much everyone on the East Coast is logging in, trying to get into the beta, forgetting that it opens on Pacific time.

Dammit, I want in this beta.

I've got about five friends who have been playing it all week. :\ Including two British guys I know...

 

[SpiderPig]

How do you get in the beta?

 

[Mattigus]

Apparently you can't. It's closed now...

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Jesus christ how many tokens did they give out? I some how luckily managed to get the beta page about a minute or two after the link started working and was greeted with this

Although Charlie Oscar Delta's Token Codes have been reserved, there will be many more opportunities to get into the Beta! Check back into SITREP often, as we'll be updating the site with information as soon as it's finalized.

At first I thought that CoD4 would suck cause of the era change, but now I'm totally pumped for it!

I tried getting into the beta too, but as many have said, the site was down everytime I tried

This beta is Xbox exclusive right?

and when is the PC version coming out?

 

[knut]

I've played it. My friend has gotten in through some means he won't say. It's pretty good. Why teams other than Americans get the same US Army weapons as a starter is beyond me, and how many goddamn M4's are there, and how do you get them? Do you unlock stuff the higher your rank even in the beta? Because his Custom Class thing is pretty bare at the moment.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

You get weapons by gaining levels (pretty easy to do), along with perks.

You unlock attachments and camouflage by doing challenges.

 

[Uriel]

How fun is it Iced Eagle?

This beta is Xbox exclusive right?

Two questions: how does it control with the camera, and how is the lag? I got sick of CoD3 on 360 really quick because of how they handled latency - it always seemed to have atleast a second's delay for me, even when playing locally, but you didn't have to "lead" like in other games. No no, you could shoot someone as you saw them on your screen, and they'd get hit. Which seems like a good concept until you realise that that means you can effectively KILL EACHOTHER if you both shoot eachother enough within that delay. And it happened. A whole ****ing lot.

Edit - Release date is early November (5th I think) for PC, 360 and PS3. Atleast at this stage.

The first game I was in was really laggy, but I joined another and it was great. Latency with bullets seems fine, but I think the custom classes/unlocks can be a little unfair. I've got a SMG with just iron sights and the guy across the map has unlocked a scope. He wins. That sucks.

And the maps are far too small. I do like how deathmatch based it is, it is fun, but bigger maps and more people please.
