Whats up with people putting up the--GT A Fridge To Far--ir Gamer tags?

 

[raYne]

what's going on guys? I though registering in charlieoscardelta is enough?

Yeah, you're fine. Pass that along to your friends.

Why don't we wait till we know who's in before we post GTs?

That's not why people are posting GTs. :lol

 

[EMBee99]

I get home from work to find a clusterfuck of a beta invite.

So what the heck do you have to do now? Is there a countdown to another open registration? Is there another site giving official news? Did the number one third party in the game industry REALLY screw this up to an internet-collapsing level?

Really?

Brief summary:

1) Whole Internet F5's CharlieOscarDelta.com for the best part of an hour before the beta instructions were supposed to be started.

2) COD.com starts failing to load.

3) COD.com goes down; redirects to Activision.com

4) Activision.com goes down.

5) Fourzerotwo posts the instructions on his blog at fourzerotwo.com

6) Fourzerotwo posts on GAF.

7) Everyone posts Gamertags.

8) Profit???

LMFAO. Why do you think I havn't posted on Modojo/CC/XG regularly in like three years? Gave up the whole forum thing for about a year, and then accepted the blessings offered by GAF in 05.

Oh, and he's just posted:

In a matter of an hour and a half from posting the First Wave Beta Lotto on Charlieoscardelta.com the Internetz Explodededed..... again.

5:01 pm - CharlieOscardelta.com Dies.

5:05 pm - CharlieOscarDelta.com puts up Maintenance Mode Message.

5:45 pm - CharlieOscarDelta.com redirects to Activision.com

5:46 pm - Activision.com Dies.

5:47 pm - CharlieOscarDelta.com redirects back to CharlieOscarDelta.com (still dead)

6:00 pm - Various news sites pick up stories.

6:05 pm - Various news sites Die.

Despite all of that, we're still getting the message out to you and you're getting questions back via comments, forum posts around various message boards, and via my personal Xbox Live Inbox (I'm sorry Microsoft...).

I'm going to try and address as many comments as I can at once:

"what a douchebag move"

- I know... It's what I do. Douche things up.

"OMGF I put 20 cap!?1! WTF"

- No fears, We'll take 20 as a viable answer... I'm not such a douchebag after all.

"How will we know if we got it?"

- You'll receive a token in your inbox as early as tonight or as late as next week. It's all about which wave you're in.

"Subject! Subject! I didn't put a subject"

- It's okay. Subject Doesn't matter.

"How many more hoops r you going to make people jump through?"

- Next is blood samples and a PT test.

Last but not least...

"how r i get beta?"

- This is just the first early wave of people. There's plenty of more opportunities coming, including the massive opening at the end of the week on Charlieoscardelta.com via the countdown timer. So you still have hope!

 

[darkressurection]

I am thinking chance of us getting into the beta by posting out GT is very low.

Spoiler

Prove me wrong DKo5 and/or fourzerotwo

 

[UncleGuito]

No.

?

When is it opening to the public, then?

 

[MThanded]

If i get into the beta on the first wave. Swear I will buy COD4 on launch day. I will still probably buy it on launch even if i dont get in. Please let me in.....

 

[ElNino]

Probably won't matter but whatever,

[JdFoX187]

I love how there are so many false starts when it comes to this Beta. Last Saturday and now today...both times have crashed COD. I wonder if they're not doing this on purpose to stress test the site :lol

 

[MThanded]

I missed what happened in this thread while i was getting raped by big daddies in bioshock. Someone please fill me in.

 

[darkressurection]

Does anyone know if they are still taking email for the first wave or not?

Sweet Jesus YES they are taking 20 as a viable answer. Now the question is, Will they filter me out because I sent two emails, one saying 20, then one saying 11? GUAH! FATES BE WITH ME!

If they're taking a wrong answer as a correct one they probably don't really give a shit.

Uh... ok?

Phase 2: Send a self addresss stamped envelope and your left nut in it to infinity ward headquarters will send beta code by pidgeon back to your house. Note:must be sent using parcel post and arrived the next day

Phase 3: Send your copies of bioshock along with limited edition big daddy figurine to infinity ward headquarters. Note: must arrived undamaged and before US release date.

Phase 4: Kill yourself then log onto COD.com where your beta code will be PMed to you after proof of death.

These are all more than possible....

^dont shit your pants... itll be ok(20 is fucking wrong though)

Sadly, if we all get into the beta we will worship you fourzerotwo.

 

[ArtG]

As much as I want to get into the COD4 beta, Rapture is beckoning me for at least a couple more days. Hopefully the beta will be completely open right around the time I complete the GOTC.

Edit: Oh yeah, just in case this actually works.
