COD 4 Beta Thread

Shamrock said:
Just found this on the IW fourms from someone who managed to get as far as 3 quiz questions before the server went to a maintenance page.

Here are the questions he posted

1. What perk gives u extra bullet damage?
2. Which soldiers do u play as in the beta?
3. After a 5 kill streak you get an air strike. What do you get after 7 kills?


I think they are-

1. is stopping power
2. ?
3. helicopter

The guy said he made a mistake and the first question is (first time he posted extra bullet Damage)


1. What perk gives you extra bullet penetration? Deep Impact
2. Which soldiers do u play as in the beta? British SAS
3. After a 5 kill streak you get an air strike. What do you get after 7 kills? Attack Chopper

:lol @ all these people bashing CoD4 "its not that great", "fuck IW", "rental"


The beta alone shits on every other multiplayer FPS I've played this year. CoD4 is the real deal folks.

The truth.

Cant wait for more players to join,just hope the servers hold up.

So uh I dont get whats going on. Do we send another email or what.

Ok. So apparently, IW is as pissed as we are, and are trying very hard to get the site back up. Once it goes up, we have twenty four hours to register, and our names will be put into another pool. There, we will be randomly picked, like in the first wave lotto. This is NOT first come first serve, and we all have "an equal chance."

Here's hoping we get in.
 
Wait until CharlieOscarDelta is back up.

Once its up we'll have a signup page that will last for 24 hours. After that closes, we'll be doing a lottery.

After the maintenence is done. You can sign up. However, due to the server crashes, they've now made it a 24hr "if you sign up and have a charlieoscardelta account" you get put into a lottery.

Edit: Corrected.

A lottery is super lame, btw.

You sure about that? I thought it was another lottery....

edit: My hopes, they were crushed.

:(

is this real?
 
If hotmail doesn't work how did I get the confirmation email using hotmail.
if this is the case, will hotmail users not get the redeem code for the beta.

I signed up with hotmail a long while ago...
 
Not to be picky but hows about a demo disk with the 3 maps like BF2: MC did or just a simple download which every one can get but just limit who can get in at one time?
 
We don't physically have enough tokens for everyone to get in.

You think we want to limit who can enjoy our game?

edit: you guys realize this is a beta, correct? Not a demo?

No they should just let the beta be downloadable for 24 hours on Xbox live by anyone that wants it.

If they can't keep up a little site, IW servers am esplode on launch day!!

You realize this is GAF, correct?

I think what you're doing giving out tokens to people that have been registered for the site is pretty cool. A friend of mine got a token because of that. This debacle that has happened twice is just stupid, though. You shouldn't even bother getting people's hopes up, especially for a BETA, like you said.

Sorry, i'm just grasping at straws. And by limit i mean everyone has the beta but of course it can only hold so much at one time so like 3pm like when all the kids are home from school they are playing but like 10 pm when I get off work and maybe jump in at 3 am the servers are not as crowded.
 
DKo5 said:

People are still going to mob the site when the sign-ups come back up; obviously not for the full 24hr period, but for a few hours, nonetheless. Makes no difference really. Except now, its completely random and everyone has to wait another day to even get a chance to be in it.

At the very least, do a rolling lottery (every hour or two), so people can get in throughout the day.
 
Vyse The Legend said:
Yeah, was wrong, sadly. Another shitty lottery. Weeeeeee.

Eh, at the very least, it's better than first come first serve. Yeah, I'd rather IW have given us a certain time period, and dropped the Beta regs randomly within the aforementioned period but, if you really look at it, IW is as angry as us, and, apparently, this is not what they wanted. You can tell they are trying their hardest to look after their long-time fans, and, while the fiasco this morning pissed us all off, it's good to know IW actually cares. With all hope, we all get in, and we can finally enjoy what Dartastic and crew have been enjoying for days now.

Sorry to ask again.. but then, I want to know...

Do you know if the registrations tonight will be open for us Canadian gamers, or do you have an ETA on when we will be able to do so?

1. Stopping Power
2. Marine Force Recon, SAS, OpFor, Russian Spetsnaz
3. Helicopter

Which one is correct, don't want to go through another level 11/20 deal.
 
Tokubetsu said:
Some of us were PC gamers before this generation.

Oops. In that case you should be able to get in by providing CD key that you used to install that game.

CajoleJuice said:
IW doesn't acknowledge the existence of COD3, though. :lol

Almost all gamers don't acknowledge that too. :lol
 
polyh3dron said:
That's because Treyarch made that piece of crap. It's the Guitar Hero 3 of Call of Duty games, and CoD 4 is the Rock Band.

awesome way to put it.

however, we don't know if GH3 will be that bad yet.

the fact that it takes ANY adjustment at all though from GH2/1 makes me wary.. especially if RB is gonna be the same as GH was.. I don't want two guitar rhythm games where the timing is different in each. ugh!
 
Rayme said:
What's funny is that I was really afraid I had overstepped some boundary or something by showing frustration with our hosting situation. And then FourZeroTwo posts... =)
I read FourZeroTwo's post and was like, "Holy shit, he sounds like almost anyone at NeoGAF right now!".
 
I doub't they'd have a rolling lottery because it sounds to me like they send out tokens manually like what FZT did last week. He'll probably stuck sending out some tonight at ungodly hours. I will love you forever if I get one tonight FZT <3
 
shuri said:
what the fuck should i have to answer to questions about an unreleased games? :lol This is RETARDED.

The idea is to read up on the game at the site....

...yeah, the site that's being hammered right now :lol
 
Im' glad i used up an hour of my day earlier hoping to ensure I would get in, and now I just have a random chance, which is probably even less likely than a non-crashed-site first come would have been since everyone who can enter is undoubtedly going to do so over the 24 hour period.

I'd just wait until we get confirmation of which questions are actually being used. At this point, it's just interweb speculation. There's no time constraint (other than the 24hrs) on submitting the answers, so it'd not as much of a rush job as it was supposed to be.

EDIT: Also, here's a link to the stuff I posted before which should help you answer trivia. Just make sure to check your answers with others before you submit.
