COD 4 Beta Thread

um, the first of the second wave of tokens went out tuesday night, which makes this the finale.
That's because they were sent out immediately once the drawing was made. That makes it 0 hour. 72 hours later would be Friday night at 10 EST.

So...when is the next wave of e-mails going out?
See, all this talk, this is why now I think the official line should have been "Alright, we'll send invites out on Friday night, 72 hours from now!", but still gone ahead with the current scheme (sending them out in waves over these three days). Then everyone waiting would relax, and people getting in "early" would feel extra-happy. ;)
 
Well, if you have that 4 under your name on their message board you're guaranteed a spot from what I've read, just rest easy in that. :P
 
60 fps for the win I just tried to play the MOH demo again....its completly unplayble for me now. Before I actually thought it ran pretty smooth, but after 4 hours of the beta I cant enjoy it anymore.

Ugh. Keep getting "Downloading Game Settings". Ive restarted my 360. Any advice?
Slit your wrists.

Mine was working fine earlier, only took a couple of restarts and I was in, but it won't even let me in after 10+ attempts now.

I'm getting flashbacks to December 2005 here... and then 6 months later... a patch.

FZT has already said they've fixed it in their working builds for the full game and to expect a beta patch.

Just let it sit there for 5-10 mins and it goes away.

Like the patch for COD2 that was coming in December 2005?

Infinity Ward make awesome games, but their netcode sucks ass.
 
What's the cause of this "downloading game settings" problem? My friend got an invite that he's been waiting for and now that he has the beta we can't play because he keeps getting that screen. Restarting his box doesn't help. I can still play fine though...heh. :D

Packet loss from the server with playlist information or something like that. FZT addressed it in his last update.

Oh ok, i just read the update. I remember the Halo 3 beta was doing the same thing. Must be too much demand on their servers causing this. Everything was fine over the weekend. Now with all the tokens given out this started up.

Maybe clearing your cache will work, I remember I had to do that for the Halo 3 beta to work once.

That's funny I had absolutely (0) problems with the Halo 3 beta. I barely got any lag!
 
I hope they tone down the knife kills. Knifing in the back is fine, but I'm seeing a lot of people just rushing in my face and with one swipe I'm dead, despite the fact I'm shooting at them point blank.
 
I managed to get it working by backing out of the downloading game settings screen and then quickly entering back in really quickly. Basically just mash B and A until you start searching for a game.

It worked for me.

The packet error is the community's punishment for making the rest of us wait for our tokens. :lol

No, its just all the new people are stealing the packets that are and have been rightfully ours for the past week. :lol :(

Muhahaha, I have no sympathy for you, good sir (until I get my token). :D

All your packets are belong to us.
 
Played several FFA rounds today and it doesn't appear anyone is using Last Stand anymore or something ... Everyone just drop it for custom perks? :)

Nah, plenty of (crazy) people still use it. Running around them in a circle, strafing them with bullets never gets old though.

Still, they do serve as rather good bait for getting more kills. :D
