COD 4 Beta Thread

Yea, the more I play Vacant, the more I hate it. It's way too small and chaotic for the type of gameplay I think COD is trying to achieve.
 
Blog updated!

Hey Everyone --

Just finished up a batch of tokens (12k+) which we're going to start sending out. The bulk of this batch are users on the Charlieoscardelta.com forums who have Beta Icons but have yet to receive their token. This should remedy 99.9% of you guys hopefully, if not all of you.

So keep an eye out.

-- Thanks!

I thought chaotic was the gameplay it was trying to achieve. It does it better than any other console FPS, that's for sure.

When the match starts, the canal is like shooting fish in a barrel, but as the match progresses, the bridges are covered pretty well.

You do realise that if the other team has the three spots I mentioned covered, you can't even get into the canal right?

Not only that, but if they already started with a full or 3/4ths sniper team you won't even be able to counter it with your own. You'll be picked off way before your team can get into any kind of position to counter (spotting movement is easy). AND if you do manage to pick one or two off, they'll:

-tell the rest of the team your current position, so they'll be able to adjust.
-spawn back with the team and be back in position in no time.
-the guys with the roof access can almost cover both areas completely on either side to pick up the slack.

The map is ridiculously sniper biased on the house/ridge/barn side of the map.
 
I love what they did to fix the glitch!

No that wasn't me trying to glitch my way in, found it on the cod forums.

I was under the impression this was more of a tactical, team type of game. Not a run around corners sprayin' bullets like a wild man...

Also just got out of a game with about 4 people usin' the grenade launcher attachment, man that's really fun and balanced. Pretty sure I caught about 6 to the back as I was spawning...the number of people in FFA really needs to be reduced to about 8 max, most FFA games I've played have been see who can shoot more people in the back or as they spawn, heh.

Me too! I'm getting pwned so badly! All the rooms are all LV11 people, and there I am at Lv 1. (well now Lv 2).

Goodness this is a pretty looking game!
 
Can't wait for the beta to be available here in Sweden. From what I hear the 11th October is the date it's going to happen. Though I think we will have the same system as the UK, pre-order = beta-token.
 
This game is fun but its murder playing with a bunch of people ranked 11. With the weapons you start out with it is tough to get an even matchup.
 
Just got in on the beta, if you want free frags my buddy and I will be up a few more hours alternating playing, sorry no mic. GT = bvowles

u'll be lvl 11 on day 1, at least for me.

it took me one sitting to get to 11, and I used MP5. I then graduated to M4
 
i want to play with some gaffers you idoits. the only gaffers i play with are topsyturvy and nategc.

devonte6 - gamertag
 
Fuck hotmail with a red hot poker. I just registered with gmail and got my verification email in a few seconds. How much longer is the beta going to last? What are my chances of getting in so late in the game?

Yeah it sucks but at least you level up pretty fast (or at least I did). I got to level 6 in like an hour or two. If you complete the challenges (listed in Barracks) you get a lot of experience points too.

Signups only lasted 24 hours... I think you signed up for the site/forums and not the beta.
 
so, after having played enough time with the beta, I really must congratulate Infinity Ward team.

you IW guys are on the top side of your game. very well done, the game is awesome 8)
 
Does crouching help your aim at all?

I assumed it did but it doesn't seem to be making a difference at all in my aiming whether I crouch or am standing up. Crouching seems to be just getting me killed cause I can't move out of the way as fast.

What modes are you playing?

Team Deathmatch and FFA mostly. TDM is where the vetoing problem is happening. I mean, I like the veto feature and think it's a good idea, but 75% of the lobbies I've gone into over the past three days have vetoed Overgrown.
 
Sorry for bailin' squick, but I got class in the morning, and my connection just wasn't agreein' with that host, one red bar every game. :(

Ah I usually only play Team Obj. not to many Overgrown skips.
 
Thx for the great games yesterday! Gowans, I owe you MORE than one...

Vacant is not my thing, but the other maps are just great.
 
So um I cant see any class names. I see blank lines but I can still see what I set them as on right side when they're highlighted. And I dont know if this is a problem but when I invite someone to party I cant do free for all. Maybe that one is intentional?

Jesus christ.... IW has no fucking concept of a "party".... All buggy as hell.

My experience tells me Bungie's the only developer to get it right. And that was three friggen' years ago.

The latter is indeed intentional.
 
Does anyone else have problem with classes not showing up?

Where it says custom class1 etc etc The bar doesn't show up at all. Just blank.
 
Rename the class names and your custom names will appear. They were displayed as Class 1, 2, etc., for me for a while but then they went blank so I renamed them.

My M4 pack is called "The M4ser", MP5 is simply "Mario Party 5" and my snipes I called "Bet On Black". I'm happy with these names.

edit: BTW can you have 12 people in a party and then just choose one of the larger playlists to have it create two teams of six?
