Hey FourtwoZero Where's your God Now!!!!

 

[dark_preacher]

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?

to make everyone that didn't get in feel left out?

 

[Eric WK]

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

Absolute truth.

DKo5 was in here last week or so bringing up the fact that the Halo 3 Beta had 800,000 people or so in it. If the COD4 Beta had even a fourth of that number, there's no fucking way every single key was "reserved" in ten minutes while the site wouldn't load. No fucking way.

 

[Grecco]

And i thought the Crackdown Halo beta was a debacle.

A Fucking countdown in the website for these Ghost Beta Invites. Wonderfulll

 

[Tokubetsu]

ERRR? INFO PLZ!

They're working out a deal with Gamestop. It's almost always you preorder and you get access to the beta or extra maps etc.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

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

THANKS INFINITY WARD

:lol
WTF? Are you crazy? I sure hope you were planning on leaving and hated your job.

 

[MirageDwarf]

I gave up again. Good luck to others.

 

[jobber]

:lol @ the people not in

 

[segarr]

Just showing up at 3:00 should have been enough to guarantee entry into this beta. All this "trivia questions" and "tokens" stuff is bullshit.

 

[wartime1020]

sigh, why did I bother waking up.

 

[Shawn128]

It's just the fact they've been hyping this up so much and just utterly fail, twice over, to meet demand. I mean, it's fine that there's a player cap. Just, for god sakes, please give me the chance to fail at getting in at least.

At least Crackdown was a good game that you could play while you waited for the Halo 3 Beta link to turn from grey to white.

 

[Spinning Plates]

We've been had.

This 'public' beta has been one big publicity stunt.

 

[Y2Kev]

I cannot get in.

 

[Tokubetsu]

I love how DKo5 was saying how this was our "BEST" chance at getting. Fucking yeah right. I hate you man >:[

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Fuck it. Bioshock.

 

[Killer]

FOURZEROTWO CAN WE GET SOME HELP HERE !?

 

[traveler]

Oh shit! Forgot this was today. Aargh, not getting in now. (Doesn't sound like you guys had much luck either, though.) C'mon IW, these beta signups where the date is known ahead of time NEVER work out well.

 

[hvzero]

instead of beta.php or beta.php# i got the beta_reg.php ending after being able to actually hit the enter now button and it really does show

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!

[jobber]

We've been had.

I'm in and i'm part of the public. You snooze you lose.

 

[rebel^pudding]

BUT DONT WORRY GUIZ, THIS WAS JUST PHASE 1 OF THE MAIN LAUNCH, COME BACK NEXT WEEK FOR OUR LOTTO/FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASTARD CHILD ROUND 2!11!!11!

 

[uprightcitizen]

We've been had.

This 'public' beta has been one big publicity stunt.

so true "public" beta actually implies that the public will have a chance to get in. Not just IW's employees and golfing buddies. This whole beta can blow a big veiny triumphant bastard for all I care.

 

[Geoff9920]

I'm in and i'm part of the public. You snooze you lose.

Don't be an ass. You just got lucky.

 

[pn18]

lol, seems like nobody even knows the questions. so how could anybody get a token?!

 

[Tokubetsu]

This is an accurate depiction of how I feel right now:

What the fuck IW? ='(

 

[superpuper]

They should have made it a random lottery process, instead of this countdown bullshit.

 

[sevenchaos]

This is fucking ridonculous!

 

[Eric WK]

I'm in and i'm part of the public. You snooze you lose.

Stupidest comment I've seen on GAF?

Well no, but damn close.

 

[Deadly Monk]

I'm in and i'm part of the public. You snooze you lose.

Gee, your not being an ass.

IW did a poor job of handling this. Just because your in doesn't mean we should just get over it. They lied.

Please ban jobber and his boring avatar. : (

 

[jobber]

Don't be an ass. You just got lucky.

u mad?

let me clarify what i'm saying before you people try to burn me at the stake...

if you were remotly interested in the beta, you would send moneyhats to IW to let you in.


nah for real, It's probably 10s of thousands waiting to play it but I don't think their server can hold that many people now. It was crashing left and right on Saturday.

 

[dark_preacher]

I'm in and i'm part of the public. You snooze you lose.

just what we need, a junior to call us all losers.

 

[McBacon]

For gawds sake, open this up for the UK please.

 

[bloodforge]

I'm in and i'm part of the public. You snooze you lose.

Snooze my ass, I've been trying to get the page to load for an hour now.

 

[neoism]

Fuck this noise.......
























goes play BioShock

 

[Geoff9920]

u mad?

Mad? :lol I'm already in the beta, fool.

 

[Voltron64]

Updated.

 

[Littleberu]

They clearly state that they're trying to work out something with Gamespot AND Gamestop.

So I guess they're not opening the gate until later in September. Probably before Halo 3.

 

[RyuHayate]

No matter how much I try, I can't stop myself from getting pissed off.

And I thought not getting into the Halo 3 beta until 11:00 PM after the whole Crackdown fiasco was a predicament.

 

[Tokubetsu]

u mad?

Nice shit eating grin sir!

 

[quaere]

I'm in and i'm part of the public. You snooze you lose.

I emailed within ten minutes of the posting of the instructions on that blog site last week. I'm still not in. I say IW reps should be banned. Is this any better than anyone else posting false information?

 

[kurahadol]

Updated.

:lol

Sometimes the sequel does out perform the original

 

[Wildstar75]

F IW,Im starting to think I wont buy this game no matter how good it is, just on principle. Ive wasted too much time trying to get into this beta, only to be bent over.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Because the one thing this beta needs is lots of GameFAQs/Spot kids in on it.

 

[Ramirez]

They better, the majority won't give a shit once Halo hits.

Absolute truth.

DKo5 was in here last week or so bringing up the fact that the Halo 3 Beta had 800,000 people or so in it. If the COD4 Beta had even a fourth of that number, there's no fucking way every single key was "reserved" in ten minutes while the site wouldn't load. No fucking way.

My thoughts exactly. I honestly thought DKo5 was giving us the slight hint that CoD4 was going to have 800,000 spots, at least, for this beta. It's ok I suppose, Halo 3 comes soon!

 

[traveler]

Updated.

Is this true? I think I'm going to go play Bioshock as well.

Spoiler

Wait, it's BIOSHOCK!!!

 

[HugBasket]

Let's not get mad at IW because there servers couldn't handle the world. You guys should be mad at every non-US'ian who was trying to get in. This wasn't their wave but they still went on the site.

Spoiler

Was just playing the beta with a guy from the UK. Their jokes are not as funny as the stereotype says.

 

[White Man]

Hey folks,

I just want to extend an invite to all the new beta players: feel free to message me on Live tonight, and join me, demi, and TekunoRobby in a series of celebratory matches. It will be so hot; we will party like violent rap musicians.

 

[jobber]

just what we need, a junior to call us all losers.

that's the spirit!!! assume i'm a junior when i'm a long time vet.

 

[Jurai]

I had fun beta testing the refresh feature in my browser, seems ready for primetime
