COD 4 Beta Thread

If anyone still has a beta code I would really appreciate getting one, if you could PM, that would be awesome. I was accepted into the beta and I had the code in the e-mail, but I formatted my drives and reinstalled Windows XP and I forgot to write down the code. Anyway, thanks in advance if anyone has a spare.
 
I would really appreciate a code! I just picked up my Xbox 360 and really want to try this game out!

Thanks in advance
 
I'd not had any problems with bad respawns since the European beta started until tonight, it seems like 5 deaths a game are unavoidable because I'm either put in someones sights or down in the middle of an air-strike.

Still, it's nice to have more unlocks to work towards for the last couple of days, I unlocked my Red Tiger camo for the M4 tonight, too.
 
The G3 assault rifle is awful.
It shoots one bullet at a time, feels like a pea shooter. Not very strong either.
Accurate but that's about it.

Sleigh of hand rocks though - quick reload.

Hit level 25. Now done with the beta. Tired of the maps.
 
level 25 already, wow :o
You must fucking rock.

Anyway, played a single match tonight. Team won, by a great margin. Myself had 21-4 as kill/death and the longest kill streak I've ever had in CoD4 (and probably in any FPS on 360 ever despite it only being 10 kills long). What goodies do you get for level 18-25? Some highlights? :P
 
Got back into this tonight. Much more fun than H3 imho, can't fucking wait for it to come out.

The new machine gun you unlock is ridiculous. Way too accurate and powerful from long range.
 
Claymores are my favorite new perk. You can plant them at the doorsteps of a building hideout to protect against unwelcome company... then you can go to town without worrying about getting stabbed in the back from a weasel. Even if they get destroyed, it makes noise so you know to be alert.

Only grip is that they disappear when you die. It would have been nice to keep (at least one) on the field after respawn like in COD3.
 
all i can say is wow. i mean, i only played 1 halo 3 online game, then went back to COD4. because i know it will end tomorrow. but i am really happy with COD4. its first day purchase for me.

i cant wait to play more today.


i am only sad because all my ranking and all the stuff i unlocked by mistake will go bye bye and i have to start over when i get the game.
 
Man Halo 3 really through off my sense of controls in CoD4 :lol I kept throwing grenades when I meant to reload and killing myself :(
 
Patiently waiting for the PC demo. I want to see if this will be the first FPS I'm buying for multi that I'll get for a console instead of a PC. Weird, weird world.

M16 with Stopping Power is ridiculously lethal

MP5/Silencer/Extra Flash/Juggernaut/Steady Aim is my preferred setup, I cannot wait for Deadly Silence

I also want to get a slightly larger party going (~4-6 players or so) and do some TDM games with all UAV jammers, Silencers, and Deadly Silence (if it fits, I didn't check the perk slots). Invisi-team!

The addition of Claymores makes explosive detection actually important. Finding C4 is just an added bonus. Probably need one member to take this if you're going to play any sort of organized games.

Extreme Conditioning is great, as is Slight of Hand. Curious to see how the others pan out. Does anyone understand how Double Tap functions? The videos did not make it clear at all.

I'm impressed with how well the different maps, weapons, and perk setups allow you to tailor your class to your own personal play style. I prefer out-positioning my opponents, hitting them from the flank or rear, moving quickly from place to place, and constantly engaging at close range. When I play like that, and I'm using my preferred setup, I consistently clean house.

Conversely, when I try to play as a sniper, I am _fucking awful_, almost embarassingly so. Similarly, I'm godawful with the LMGs. My temperment is just not suited to hanging back, hiding out, ambushing, camping, or patiently waiting for a target. Plus, I want to gut people with the knife as much as possible \m/

Double Tap increases your rate of fire. So if you look at the perk video again, they're showing you're getting more rounds per second out of that uzi.

The G3 is actually one of the most powerful weapons in the game, aside from I think the sniper rifles.

Its my preferred weapon of domination :P
 
beta ends tonight for those who want a last taste...

great beta IW, looking forward to the game!

How are you using the G3?, cause I was trying to like it, but the damage seems to me severely lacking. I can see it being effective at longer ranges, but middle to close, I found it not as effective as other assaults.

Answer quick, before the Beta ends. :lol

i was doing that too, and the worst part about it, was when i would go back to Halo 3 i did the same thing all over again when i wanted to use the scope on the BR ><

love COD4 though, day one purchase for sure. where can i find a list of all the perks and what they do though?
 
What was everyones final stats? Mine were as follows:

Score: 12790 (too busy to finish leveling up all the way to 25)
Wins: 448
Losses: 294
Ratio: 1.52
Streak: 25

Kills: 8,612
Deaths: 5,803
Ratio: 1.48
Streak: 22

Accuracy: 37.09% (was over 50 at one point don't know wtf happened)
Hits: 12,990
Misses: 22,029
 
You know how ridiculous that accuracy percentage is, right? Did you snipe all the time?

Score: 21149 (max 25)
Wins: 135
Losses: 162
Ratio: 0.83
Streak: 5

Kills: 3094
Deaths: 2418
Ratio: 1.28
Streak: 24

Accuracy: 18.74%
Hits: 9501
Misses: 41187
 
And the beta is over. Funny seeing a bunch of us on for the final few hours, and once it hit 12:00PST we were still trying to get into some matches. Damn thing would load everything but crap out at at the match start. Oh well, got a good 8 hours out of the beta.

Only got to Level 18, and had a ratio of 1.30. Accuracy was 21% or so. Good times. The three maps we got in this were great, but once I get the retail version I don't see myself playing them too much unless they get some changes. Kinda sick of them.
 
I am sad the beta is over. I like Halo 3 MP but I always came back playing COD4. IW just delivers this "tight" MP feeling that not alot of developers can deliver. It's really old school id like in that way. Can't wait for the release of this game.
 
I finished with about 1.1% ratio, not sure about the rest. I had to claw my way up from a terrible ratio from when I first started though. By the end, there wasn't a game I didn't top. Can't wait for the full thing!:D
