COD 4 Beta Thread

I feel like I'm beta testing the title screen :/

I see freinds of mine playing, but I just cannot either join them (host error) nor find anything myself. NAT si Open.
 
Just a heads up the CoD4 Beta ends on September 30th for Aussies so that 'may' be the date it ends for everyone else as well.

I still haven't got my key :( Damn you IW damn you.

As far as I'm concerned, the beta ends September 25th.

Still nothing for me either.

I will get into this beta somehow. But I won't be around when Gamespot gives out their keys every day at 12 and I still don't have a Eurogamer invite. I will find a way to, somehow, get into this damn thing.
 
Anyone know when the beta will become playable?

I didn't know there was a problem until I checked Gaf. I've been sitting in matchmaking for 15 minutes, with the controller in my handm wondering why it was taking so long:lol
 
Whenever I boot the COD4 beta I get disconnected from live, although it doesn't tell me I am, but if I jump back to the dashboard it says "sign in to xbox live" even though I just was. :(

I get this all the time. Sometimes I'll back out if nothing seems to be happening and I'll click Connect to Xbox Live to find a bunch of game invites from two or three minutes ago when I must've dropped out of a game. The beta arbitrarily disconnects me a whole heap too, or at least it tells me I'm not connected and boots me back to the beta menu.
 
Shit, after another few hours of getting shot from ground humping tards, I think I'm officially done with this Beta and the game's multiplayer.

I have total score of 53347, 5268 kills, 3625 deaths, 565 Headshots, 661 Assists, and 21 kill streak. No, I wasn't great but I wasn't too bad either.

I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna spend full price on a game where I won't get to enjoy the multiplayer, so if I see the game on sale @ frys for $50, I'll get it and play through the single player, but this game just encourages so much fucking camping in the multiplayer, it's just not fun after a while.

I think the lesson is that if any FPS lets you get into a prone position, the chances are that the campers will thrive and the game's fun factor will take a nose dive.

So, is this still fun?

I would play, but I'm afraid Persona 3 is eating up my time. :lol
From the getgo you are sort of at a disadvantage because you don't get access to the wide assortment of weapons but it gets a lot better as soon as you start ranking up. Definitely a buy for me (although I think I'll be picking up the PC version)
 
It's still fun, but at least for me is getting a lot LESS fun as time goes on as people start to figure out the most annoying tactics and camp spots.

I have a feeling I'll play the retail MP just enough to get most of the Achievements then go back to Halo or TF.
 
where are yall finding prone campers?

Where do you find anybody laying prone???

I'd like to know. Cuz those people are like the easiest flipping kills.

I haven't found much of any problem with campers except in situations where camping is bound to happen (like the stalemates caused by three story building and auto repair shop spawns on crash or at the gas station and barn spawns on overgrown)

I will admit the game gets less fun over time, but only when i roll alone. In parties it's mad fun.

I pretty much stopped playing when the camping started.

Looks like I have nothing to go back to, other than to boost my level to 16. :lol

uh. thats what, like 24 hours in the beta? at least? and you didn't enjoy it.

Nice.

Pretty sure this is going to be one of the best MP games this year outside of.. um.. Halo 3, TF2, UT3....mmm, such a nice year for MP shooters.

As the Beta wore on, campers refined their camping positions and tactics. The first 12 hours were fantastic fun. Now it's "find the campers without getting shot" which is far from fun.
 
Have any Aussies gotten into the Beta today yet? (I'm talking about the ACTUAL aussie beta from signups on xbox.com.au rather than people glitching or getting into the US beta).

I signed up for it but still haven't gotten my key. It's 2:30pm on Sep 11th, the beta was meant to go live today...

I'm in the same boat. Been waiting all day, nothing yet. :(

Yes, we need the 50 special grenades perk.

This game really needs some sort of video capturing system. Id love to watch replays of matches.

I learned a bunch of tricks from watching myself die in raYnes kill cam that i would love to be able to save and watch again. :lol
 
Finally got back into some games, so here are some pics! :D













Really good looking game, love the weapons / class systems, but I'm not keen on things like calling in helicopters / airstrikes. Oh, and I'm terrible at it, as I've never been good at "one shot kill" games online. Certainly has me interested in the game again now though, will definitely be picking it up. (and there I was thinking I was bored of WW2/modern combat games)
