Support NeoGAF

[OverHeat]

I just got fired for wasting my time on this site. FOR NOTHING

THANKS INFINITY WARD

If true suck to be you

 

[FrankT]

Hell I still cannot even pull up the page, lawl.

 

[Wario64]

The email method last week at least gave people a decent chance.

 

[clav]

seriously FUCK cod4. i'll be buying that shit used now.

Why are you supporting Gamestop shitty practices? ;_;

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

FUUUUUCK

Fuck.

 

[AzerPhire]

Seriously you people won't buy the game because theres a problem with the website?

...Wow.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Was there ever any tokens to be given out? I mean how the hell could've people answered the questions and submitted it when the site basically crashed right from the get go? Seems a little dubious, imo.

It does seem to be a little fishy :/

 

[Cipher]

 

[Insaniac]

beta is all lies! False hope FTL

 

[Willco]

Wow, they just lost a lot of goodwill amongst the hardcore gaming community.

 

[armubaba]

HAI GUYZ. GUESS WHAT. DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THIS WAVE EITHER, LOLZ.

In retrospect, did any of us doubt at all this shit was going to happen? The site got raped in the ass when one tenth of the people tried to get in (for the false alarm), and this was known to a shit load more people.

What a grade-A bullshit fiasco. *sigh*

Next time, get your shit together IW. I'll probably still be buying this game despite this clusterfuck of BS, but, just, wow.

 

[sankao]

No sign-up at midnight ?

 

[Dast]

This was handled well.

 

[hotsauceiswack]

COD4 am failz

 

[FrankT]

I smell OPEN BETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

 

[TekunoRobby]

I just got fired for wasting my time on this site. FOR NOTHING

THANKS INFINITY WARD

Details, stat.

 

[jet1911]

In the United States and Canada, we are working with GameSpot and GameStop on two new ways to reserve a spot in the Beta.

....

I'm sure it would be simpler to just put the beta on Live so anyone can access it.

 

[rebel^pudding]

imma gonna make a so many bitch threads on their forums for this :lol

 

[UnholySpectacle]

GAF TO IW: I didn't want to be in your super awesome beta anyways. (sticks tongue out)

:lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Deadly Monk]

I think Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, Halo 3 and Orange box will cover more than enough time I would have had with CoD4. Sorry IW.

I'll pick it up used a few days after it comes out.

Reserved tokens is the stupidest thing i've ever heard a developer make up. They lied. Hope their PR for this Beta debacle is nice and peachy.

 

[Wario64]

Wow, they just lost a lot of goodwill amongst the hardcore gaming community.

Apparently people are buying Medal of Honor Airborne instead of Call of Duty 4 because they didn't have the privilege of participating in a FREE beta that IW could have chosen not to do. WOW

We all know everyone in this thread will buy Call of Duty 4 anyway

 

[frogg609]

it sure would be nice if their servers could handle the load, so i could register for the beta.

 

[PatzCU]

Can anyone confirm they were able to sign up? I'm in complete disbelief that there were enough people to sift through that bullshit that was beta sign-up to be able to submit all the relevant info and get a token.

Anyone?

Furthest I got was the "Join Now" button or whatever it said (I can't see it now because nothing will load).

 

[3kuSaS]

Hopes and dreams = crushed

 

[Shamrock]

Gamestop? Fucking whores sold out and will put the bulk of the beta slots for people who pre-order the game paying it off in full.

 

[Lebron]

Props to IW for handling this so well........

 

[radrelic]

GAF TO IW: I didn't want to be in your super awesome beta anyways. (sticks tongue out)

:lol :lol :lol :lol

so true :lol

GAF hyperbole as usual

 

[Insaniac]

Crap...was hoping to submit before I have to drive to UC Davis, but now I gots to go. Hopefully this crappy site is working in a couple of hours and they're still giving out Beta tokens. Godspeed to those attempting to get in.

i've gotta quote this and :lol

 

[pn18]

Spoiler

in terms of beta keys

IW 2: Gaf 0

 

[Deadly Monk]

Why are you supporting Gamestop shitty practices? ;_;

Don't have to buy it used from Gamestop. It's called ebay and amazon.

 

[Tokubetsu]

I'm not preordering just to get into a beta. GRAAAAARH.

 

[WickedLaharl]

they must've just given them away to peeps on their site

 

[uprightcitizen]

I can't wait to see what the posters from around the world have to say especially the ones who can't type english well on the beta site message boards. WHY AM I NOT GET BETA DFJNDFDNFDJFNDFDJFNDFNDFNDJK!!

 

[Grecco]

Did anyone even get a chance to sign up?

Fucking Charlieoscardelta doesnt even load for me yet. What a fucking disaster

 

[dark_preacher]

well i still haven't bought cod3 so i'm not exactly dying for this one. i'll have no problem playing all the other great stuff coming out this fall. maybe i'll just wait for the inevitable cod4 - gold edition double dipping.

 

[teepo]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[VASPER]

HUM IW you handled this beta well!

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Did anyone even get a chance to sign up?

nope

this is as far as I got. just the text loaded :lol

Although Charlie Oscar Delta's Token Codes have been reserved, there will be many more opportunities to get into the Beta! Check back into SITREP often, as we'll be updating the site with information as soon as it's finalized.

In the United States and Canada, we are working with GameSpot and GameStop on two new ways to reserve a spot in the Beta. Our International users will be excited to learn that plans to get into the Beta are moving along quickly, and we'll have updates for all the countries listed in the FAQ soon!

 

[Wario64]

Maybe if we post our Gamertags, fourzerotwo will PM us a token code

Spoiler

oh no what have I done

 

[teepo]

I'm not preordering just to get into a beta. GRAAAAARH.

ERRR? INFO PLZ!

 

[squicken]

This game just went from a purchase to a rental. I don't take kindly to being shat on.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Sooo.....now the question is how long do I wait? I've got a water heater to fix damnit!

Priorities are whack. Water heater comes first!

I dunno about anyone else here, but I need my hot shower in the morning.

 

[Ramirez]

Well, that sucks, but for me, it was nothing more than a stepping stone to pass time til Halo 3. :lol

Metroid tomorrow!

 

[Justin]

Has it even been said yet why this needs to be a limited beta? Why cant they just put it up like a normal demo for everyone?

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I hate you Infinity ward! Your game is stupid and I hope you die!

 

[f@luS]

hum. Im really pissed off. This is really lame, i really made some plans to be there in time
fuckl

 

[WickedLaharl]

give me a fucking break. it's complete bullshit to lead your fanbase around by the nose like IW has with this beta.

 

[MrCompletely]

give me a fucking break. it's complete bullshit to lead your fanbase around by the nose like IW has with this beta.

QFT!!

 

[Spinning Plates]

How many tokens actually went out do you think?

People said it was about 1500-2000 that were on before todays sign up..

I Bet they've got some kind of deal going with Gamespot where if you subscribe that effectively gets you in.

 

[rebel^pudding]

so we're pretty much all still refreshing the site arent we :lol
