Hm, thought there was a way to maybe just copy them or something, like parallel threads.

Anyway, I definitely am. I'm usually not so much for the Call of Duty's, because they're just SO damn scripted, but I like the modern warzone idea 100 times more than a WW2 setting, so this should be good.

I'll write more later, I'm actually in the middle of Gears of War right now.
 
This is jaw-dropping stuff. I sincerely hope they've stayed away from the linear gameplay of COD3 as much as possible.
 
Anyone else think classic Rainbow Six and a bit of MGS2 inspiration with the Stormy Night scenario? Loved seeing the helo opening up hell as support also. The radio comms sounds good too.

Well... CoD3 was crap, but if you've played CoD2 it's basically a reskinning (with updated graphics) of that. For the multiplayer, however, it's definitely improved with a ton of new things.
 
New beta details:

Preamble:
We worked hard to get this beta done July 26th. Since then we've been working on logistical issues, MS cert, what would be involved to make everything work internationally, number of keys, and a bunch of other boring non-game stuff. Most of it is just related to being the first 3rd party console game to offer a beta.

Now there are even more logistical issues coming up. Streetwise is pumping up their servers in an effort for charlieoscardelta to be able to handle the beta traffic. Additionally, since they are testing the new servers right now they can't really update them. So putting up countdowns, changing and testing the scripts to gather info for tokens, etc would have to wait a bit.


24 hour notice:
But we've been playing the beta internally, and it's so much fun we are dying to play with you. So... let's blow off waiting for the site and just consider this the countdown -- there will be a way for people to register for the beta starting 5pm PST tomorrow. Some of those will be playing as early as tomorrow night.. tick tock tick tock.


The roll out:
The beta is going to roll out in waves. Rather than just putting a million people in the beta and hope nothing goes wrong, we will ramp up the playercount over time.

As fourzerotwo mentioned, right now some friends/family are testing. The press will be joining in the next couple days -- including those of you who make it into the first wave.

No worries if you aren't in the very first wave (most won't be), we should have a new wave of players every day or so as we ramp up.

Details on how to register for your chance to be in the beta will be posted tomorrow at 5pm PST*. So stay tuned for details, it will be a limited time offer.


*= this may not be the only way to ever get in the beta, but it is the way to have a chance to get in the early waves.

I suggest you all sign up here ASAP if you want to get into the beta.
 
Why do the perks seem a bad idea imo, that Dead Silence is fair enough if you're going slow or walking but running about! Then you have the perk of increasing your bullet penetration? Wtf is that, I mean 2 people have the same gun but because one guy has this he will kill faster than the other.

I hope if you're the host you can switch off perks and radar, that way it's all about the player. I wish Rainbow Six Vegas allowed you to switch off the radar also.

Bullet penetration is so they can shoot you through walls. (several trailers show this) That is going to be a very frustrating way to get killed.
 
My fears might be resolved with Hardcore mode, damage increases with bullets, nothing on screen and no perks either apparently. Sounds right up my street !

Anyway...

This is the 2nd wave. Hopefully I get into this one.

OK, so the site crashed, and only now is it accessible –*although it's very, very slow... but persistence pays!


...Not.

So, I log in, go to the beta fill-out, go through the age part, enter my gamertag and email address, and then I'm forced to read the terms of use.

I do so.

This is a joke. And retarded. 👎
 
At this point I dont even care about the beta any more. I have WAY too much to do this month anyway and will hardly have any time for gaming anyway. I will just wait for the full version. They should have done it like the Halo 3 beta where you can buy a game that has the beta in it. Would have been much easier that way.

Me too. At the 1st wave, no one couldn't enter the website and everyone was complaining. Then if you read fourze's blog (a member of IW) said that EVERYONE will get the token if you signed up in the last 24 hours during the sign up. I just got it in the morning! I was extremely happy. Now I can't wait to get home and play this game all night long.
 
Congrats. Let us know how well it plays. COD4 is the only other game in the world that has the matchmaking that Halo 2 and Halo 3 has. Cant wait to check out the full version of COD4. I think it will do real well with that matchmaking. Every game needs the matchmaking that Halo 2 and Halo 3 has.
 
Well, you can play the beta if you know someone who has it... You use his account and then go to Account Management> Download History then bam! You have the beta.
 
game's pretty hot... For anyone who's tried it. I think this game might take up a good few of my nights when its released.. I'm almost done with Forza now anyways.
 
I've got the beta woo.

I'll let you guys know how it is over the weekend.
 
I'm really not all that thrilled with the beta. It seems you re-spawn in totally random areas, and with no invulnerability shield like Vegas it leads to total disaster. Several times I've respawned and been shot immediately.

The entire game is chaos, there's no organization at all in game, your team is everywhere, the other team is everywhere. It really needs set spawn points, and a damn spawn shield.

When the host lags, it's impossible to play, the warping is ridiculous.


On the up side I really really like the leveling up system, and I think it's much better than Vegas', and the graphics are pretty good. Plus you only get one grenade! One! You can't run around throwing grenades! I love that.

But I just don't understand the random spawns, it really takes a lot away from the game when you die within 2 seconds of spawning.
 
The first game that comes to mind while playing the Beta is Battlefield2. The mechanics are pretty much exactly the same.
 
From everything I've seen of the game I continually think of Battlefield 2. I never had an oppertunity to play BF2, its indeed something that I regret, but the big thing here is that I'll have to decide if I want it on X360 or PC (thus far, I'm leaning X360).
