i'm pretty sure the gameplay will be exactly the same. As for the controls... i've got about 20hours worth of play on the beta and i see no problem with it. Aim is good (bit of autoaim, depending on weapons), movement is easy and pace is good for a controller. One tiny bit of wierdness in the button selection per default, but that's nickpicking.

Interessingly enough, the last time i was so excited about a game / play the game / want to finish work early to go play, was when i started playing BF2... COD4 captures the same magic for me.

Its Fun
Its Fast
Its Well Made
Its immersive

I really like it.
 
The part that really set BF2 apart from all the other games was the ability to fly helicopters, drive tanks, drive other vehicles, and boats. It was one of the best online experiences I ever had next to Halo 2 and Halo 3 online. From what I have heard COD4 doesnt have vehicles at all. Thats very disappointing IMO. I didnt get a chance to play the COD4 beta so I dont have any credible feedback for that. I am sure that the shooting might be similar to BF2 but without all the fun vehicles I doubt it will be the same experience at all. Lets face it, games are much more fun with land and air vehicles.
YSSMAN,
You definetly need to at least rent BF2: MC because its a very good online game. Especially with friends. Conquest mode was my favorite. Its one of those experiences that you just cant miss. Especially the first time you jump from a helicopter right into the middle of a battle of tanks and other vehicles just going crazy. An incredible game. Just dont forget to open your parachute. :lol:
Between the xbox version and the 360 version I bet I played well over 500 BF2: MC games. 👍
 
Jeez. I did some RSV online for a while, but the folks were a bit too hardcore for me. Generally speaking, I tend to me more of a run-and-gun type of guy, so games like Halo, Quake, and Unreal Tournament tend to be favorites of mine.

BTW: I can't wait for Team Fortress 2...

I am also more of a run and gun type of guy. Thats why you definetly need to check out BF2:MC. 👍
 
Dang, they increased the lvl cap to 16. Oh yeah! This is so cool. I'm gonna play more tonight. It's incredibly addicting. I never had so much fun since SOCOM II.
 
I just signed up as a member on gamespot.com and it gave me a token number!! I will try it tonight and hopefully it works. :dopey:
EDIT: I also just got a token for Heather!!!
 
Heather and I played this COD4 beta last night for around 4 hours. I like how they use the same matchmaking as Halo 2 and Halo 3. It works real well but it does need some work. They should also give guests a message to let them know whats going on. When I was hosting the guests didnt know if I was searching for a room or just sitting there. Overall the beta is quite fun. Its a little on the hard side if your just getting to the beta like we are. We go into games as level 1 against a full room of level 16's. Hopefully the rank system will work like Halo 3 where you can go up and down in rank depending on your skill. Would seem silly to just keep going up but I dont think it will be like that. I think we are somewhere around level 6 or 7.
We did have a couple really bad lag issues but with only 2 games and I noticed it was a room full of people from Europe. Other than that it ran real smooth. In response to the coments about this blowing Halo 3 away..No way. COD4 is fun but its definetly not better than Halo 3. I also noticed the majority of the community is very nice too. We were actually able to wear our headsets the entire night and didnt have to mute anyone. That surprised me. We even had a couple games with motown champ. He owned us. lol
We were just very happy to finally be able to check this beta out and we will be buying this for sure.
 
This game can definetly hang with Halo, and beats it in some areas for me (of course, Halo wins in other areas too). I can't wait for the full version when we will have 16 player and all the perks unlocked - this system is very good and the ability to play without them in hardcore will satisfy everyone. To the guy who mentioned SOCOM 2, I definetly agree with that statement - although I did have fun with the Halo 3 beta, it didn't really move the game forward all that much and the customisation options will be more limited compared to COD4.

However it isn't perfect, the respawn games can sometimes put you in terrible positions and I feel that this game could be even better if they found a way to take the best elements of SOCOM's "no-respawn" system and Halo's run n gun gameplay. It's hard to explain, but I feel this is so close to recreating being in a movie like Black Hawk Down, but the constant respawning or camping in the other modes just takes that feeling away.

With these two shooters, Mass Effect, Ace Combat and GT5:P on the PS3 it's gonna be a good year!
 
Have any of you heard of the "anti-teabag" perk?? I believe it gets unlocked when you hit level 17. Basically as soon as you die you drop a grenade right by your body. "Anti-Teabag". :lol:
Yeah between COD4 and Halo 3 we should be set for the next year or two for multiplayer gaming online. Halo 3 definetly still has a huge advantage over COD4 but they are both going to be great games.
 
I noticed something else last night. When I have a party with me say 3 people as an example. If I leave a lobby after the game is finished I loose that party?? Is this going to be fixed in the final version? Currently these are my 4 only concerns or complaints with the COD3 beta.

1. Cant see game stats once the game is over.

2. Guests in party cant see if I am searching for a game and cant see what I am doing. They dont see whats going on at all in the upper right if they are the guest.

3. Cant bring party with me when I leave one of the game lobbies. If I leave I have to invite all of them back in because if they just join they will be put on different teams when the game starts.

4. Rank system doesnt seem to match me with other ranked members of equal skill number.
 
I believe that if you all leave, it reconnects you to the party, even if you aborted mid map and they stayed until the end.
 
I had loads of fun with this at work tonight. I'm gonna love this game! Must get here faster! :banghead:

multiplayer? not so much...
 
Good to see that there are some GTPeers on the Beta. Forget Halo (Zzz) for the weekend, as the level cap is going up to 25 in a few hours time. HK G3 anybody? :)
 
I got my beta key today so I'll have this downloaded tonight. Cannot wait to play it. How destructible are the environments?

You're in for a treat, but you'll have to get your arse in gear, as the beta finishes on Sunday night. In regard to the environments, you can shoot concrete blocks off the pile, destroy cars with grenades, and shoot monitors off desks. Aside from these things, it's pretty much static. Great fun though. :dopey:

Does the deadline apply to activating the code, or does it mean I won't be able to play the beta after the deadline?

Nope, the activation date doesn't impact on the deadline. So you've basically got until the close of Sunday night (central time as far as I'm aware.) After that time the beta will expire for all token holders.:sick:

Crap.

I was hoping it would run until about a week before the game was released. Guess I'm going to have to put some hours in over the weekend.

I've just noticed that you're in Blighty, so you'll need to adjust the end time (US central time) to your timezone. I trust that you'll enjoy, as it's the only game I'm looking forward to more than GT5P. Roll on the end of the year.:)

I've just been watcing a few gameplay vids on Youtube. I have to say it looks impressive, especially the vehicles.
 
6 days people! Can't

wait!
 
I guess if you buy COD4 from circuit city you get COD3 for free. We will probably be picking this up tomorrow if it comes in.
 
Too bad I'm flat broke, otherwise I'd be buying this ASAP...
