COD 4 Beta Thread

On the middle eastern war torn street level, I feel like I'm playing a real-time version of that first MGS4 trailer. The graphics are great but equally awesome are the animations.
Well the knife animation could use some work. It looks awesome in first person but in the kill cam... not so much.

Sorry about the early exit. We lost power here for close to 3 hours. Just got it back about 10 minutes ago.

That's exactly how I felt. The unlockable and "rpg" elements are darn cool, as well as the kill streak perks. However, beyond that, the actual gameplay wasn't OMGAH-levels of FAPage. :lol

Just curious, which FPS has OMGAH-levels of FAPage? Vegas?

I totally got that MGS4 vibe too. It feels so modern and badass.
 
Mercury, sorry man. My Internet just randomly crapped out on me. Friggin' Comcast. But anyway, yeah, I'm up for a couple of games right now if anybody's interested. Send me a request and hit me up. I'd be happy to oblige.

So goddamn modern. Not retro one bit.

I love all the particle effects happening during the match too. Really gives the proceedings a layer of ambiance you just don't find in multiplayer games. Well, except maybe Gears of War.

They've also really improved the feeling of moving around, firing, sprinting, rising and ducking from stances, vaulting over objects... the way the camera manipulates and animates, it really feels like you are embodied even though you can't see your legs or chest. COD2 felt pretty good but you couldn't shake the feeling that you were a floating turret with arms and a camera attached.

They nailed the first person animations along with the side effects of the grenades and the smoke on the RPG.

Very nice.

One graphical aspect I'm not really down with is when you send in an airstrike.. doesn't look too hot. Needs more BOOM BOOM SMOKE SHRAPNEL EVERYWHERE etc. in my opinion.
 
wow i checked everyday since i sent out the email and i come home and check my email and see "call of duty 4 beta" and freak out. GT is Obeygnt88 if anyone wants to play
 
Game is incredible. My two buddies and I rotated every couple of deaths. We were all blown away. They both want 360s now. (Well, we played Rainbow Six: Vegas and Bioshock as well)

That's all I'm going to say because I need to get back to playing.

Thank you, Infinity Ward.
 
Best shooter I've played since Summit Strike. My goodness. Just got done playing for 2 hours with a few other buds. (Sorry armubaba, I got your invite but I was playing with a bunch of guys from work.)

This needs to be repeated M16 + Red Dot= WIN The crash level freaking owns. So many crazy fights happen around that downed helo. I had no idea you could go inside of it! The tower on that map owns as well.

Its gonna be a great labor day weekend:D
 
took awhile to get the token but it was worth it. took a little getting used to but then I started fucking pwning.

this game is awesome, I can't wait to get the full version

I fucking suck at this game.

:\

Still all types of fuck awesome, though.

Takes awhile to get used too. I'm still trying to figure out what I do best with depending on map and even game type. I look forward to final game with all the different combos that can be setup in customized classes.

No worries, the weird thing is when I'm in a party with gaffers almost everyone drops out after a round or two and I'm stuck in a game with random peeps.

Yea, it's pretty fast for a game with dual analog controls. I'm not used to it.

It finally clicked for me about 30 minutes ago. After a few hours of play I consistently get more kills than deaths. M4 Carbine is my new best friend. So awesome I could stay up all night.
 
Holy crap.
I started at about 1am trying to kill some time before I go to bed.
It's now 5am.
I decided to pick up the M4 because it was the one weapon I heard the most complaining about (overpoweredness). I wanted to see if it was overpowered enough to overpower my suck. It did. I unlocked the red dot, another color and the scope.
Once I got the scope, I was finally managing to get 5-kill killstreaks.
Earlier I was getting really ticked because I'd be trying to go for streaks but I would always die after one or two kills.

By the end of the "night" I'd gotten an 11 kill streak.

It was pretty awesome. I think I'm finally starting to get it now.
I also learned I need to stop sprinting everywhere. I was just running myself into trouble half of the time.

I'm liking this and I feel I definitely have to consider adding this game to my Fall Pick-up List.

I guess if I don't have a token at this point I'm screwed? Anything I can do? :)
If you did the signup for it at the CharlieOscarDelta.com site, you'll be alright. The original plan was to have all those keys sent out by the end of Friday, but the "Downloading Game Settings" bug reared it's ugly head after we reached a certain threshold, and was just getting worse as the load increased. Good thing there's a Beta to test for these kind of real-world conditions, eh? ;)

Anyhow, that's all better, so keys are going out again. There was a batch last night (Friday), and the plan is for more to go out this weekend.

If you didn't sign up on the site, there will be plenty-more chances to get a Beta key before too long, so take heart. =)

Thanks for the info! Did the original email, the signup and posted in the forum also :) Just waiting I suppose!
 
man some times in team play you run into clans OWCH!

I hope there is blood in the final version would rely help clarify your hits
 
hey qq. Does anyone know how to use the C4? I had it, and when I press the LB button, it brings up the C4, but how do I set the explosives?

Did you, umm, try the R trigger by any chance?

Throw with LT and detonate with RT.


I think (thats what some of the ingame messages say, but I haven't tried it for myself).

One of the ingame messages gave me a protip, apparently if I double tapped the reload button the C4 would explode.

So I set up my two C4 explosives, then proceeded to walk about my high pearch picking off fools with my rifle, feeling quite good about myself. I noticed a red blip near my location, my chance to use the C4 was near! I waited up the top of the stairs, detonator in hand, sniggering to myself. I watch the guy run up, past my C4, I double tap the reload button and....nothing! Realising it all went wrong I ran around like a headless chicken then promptly got stabbed in the face.

Moral of that story: Test out the intel before using it in a combat situation.
 
I finally reached level 11. Felt like it took a lifetime, but it's funny how now that I'm at 11, I'm getting quite a few kills every game.

I actually really feel like I'm getting better at the game, rather than just getting my arse handed to me each time and quitting with tears rolling down my face.
 
What is the token exactly? Is it a code to redeem on xbox live?

Also, is there any hope for a person who may have already deleted their token by clearing out their spam? I am not sure if I deleted it or not, but it would be cool if there was a way of getting the token if you fucked up.

If you post on the COD forums, there will be a green beta tag under your name if you're going to get into the Beta.

Thanks. I actually just got done posting to test. It says beta, but I can only hope I didn't fuck up and already delete my token by accident.
 
reaver18 said:
I just got my token yesterday at 4PM so they're still sending them out.

I wonder if they completely automated it, or if someone has to hit a key every day or something. :lol

Oh well, if I deleted it, I will enjoy it when the game is released. I haven't really been into FPS this much since the Half Life and Quake days.

I had to get used to the power ups and classes. Once you get the red dot that helps TREMENDOUSLY with your aiming capabilities as well.

Assault is probably the most newbie friendly class and I can see most players inserting Juggernaut and Last Stand as their choice perk slots.

Personally. I am a fan of UAV jammer.
 
Can someone explain to me how to play Demolitions effectively? I've played mostly assault and spec ops and do fairly well with them.

With demolitions, I try to be a good support guy by providing cover fire for my teammates and use my rpgs a bit, but I still don't seem to be of much help...
 
One thing I would like to get out there. The game will eat unexperienced players alive when they first start. If you get a disadvantage it REALLY is a disadvantage. You can pick up your opponents powered up weapons which evens things out (sort of) but the UAV/Airstrike/Helicopter power up system is geared to veteran gun blazers.

Also is it supposed to be on purpose the bullets go through the wall. It looks weird as hell. Only REAL bad glitch I encountered was a weird "rename" glitch that slowed down the game extremely and eventually crashed it.

As for complaints they really can't fix but some of you might want to be aware of, some European servers have a tendency to lag. The power up system I mentioned earlier is completely useless in certain levels(*cough* vacancy *cough*, different powers would have been nice.

Yeah especially since Call of Duty 2 had excellent particle effects. If it wasn't for the sound of in coming jets or the EXTREMELY useful radar I would have trouble telling it was going on based on looks alone.

This is one of the main reasons why they should have given the codes out ALL at once.
