"Please read the entire terms of use"

WTF is this shit? I already have, now let me go on.

EDIT: Screw it, I'm waiting until tomorrow.

You gotta scroll the agreement to the bottom to put on the charade that you read it. :lol

all you had to do is scroll down :lol
Already did that, and it still didn't work.

EDIT: Of course, I'm using Safari so it probably doesn't support whatever black magic they use to register that I've scrolled down to the bottom of the thing. Looks like I be trying with something else.

That's all single player, bad spawn spots and all. I'm pretty good at FPS games, but yeah, I do well at picking people off as well.

Are you playing tonight? Lets get a GAF room going.


I'll play, when will people be on tonight?
 
Here's what it looks like if it went through:

I didn't get an email confirmation (yet at least) but it gives you a confirmation on the actual website.

At 7pm PDT tomorrow, Tuesday August 28th, we will be drawing names for entry into the Beta. Within 72 hours of this Drawing, we will contact you via email with news on whether or not you were admitted.

So even if we were selected we may not be contacted until Friday night? That sucks.

Email that you signed up with on the site, I HOPE! Fuck. :lol
Yeah. You are right. With fucking slow site, I didn't want to take chance so I entered one associated with my gt. Didn't work. Entered one that I used to register on charlieoscardelta.com, it worked.

I clicked submit finally after 8-10 attempts. It is not moving at all. :(

Oh wow, different browser, still not working. So that's two now (Safari and Camino).

Guess I be downloading Firefox and see if that works. It better.

Worked for me in FF, I know this sounds dumb, but you are clicking the yes I accept box right? :P
 
finally got in, and then i remembered that after the whole US only thing that my main live account is a euro account, since i lived there when i started. doh! i used my newer US account that i use to buy things now and i just hope that's acceptable, since i can't change my main account.
 
Shit, I got all the way through, now it is hanging.......hanging......hanging..........

Wow, I really hope that publishers take note of this for all future Beta iterations. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the fact that IW is giving us access to a great game for free, so I don't want to bitch too much. That said, surely they have highly paid employees that could have easily forseen this debacle?

Edit- F'n great. Didn't go through at all and timed out at the very end. Now I have to start back all over. Oh the humanity!
 
I still don't understand why they didn't disable all the pictures/graphics/banners on the site. I'm sure text only would use way less bandwidth.

It lets me input my gamertag and email but nothing happens after I click on submit.



Grrrr :/

I had the same problem, I refreshed the homepage and re-did it, it worked. If you keep pressing submit it'll do nothing.

There are about 87,000 available spots that will be given out via this sign-up (that number could change, we're trying for more).

only 87,000?! I was thinking that this would be ATLEAST a couple hundred thousand

I signed up using Safari, worked perfectly fine...

edit: I should clarify. I'm using the Safari 3 public beta (from http://www.apple.com/safari/). And yeah I'm on a Mac (OS X 10.4.10) too...

Well, I registered. I guess we'll see how things go tomorrow.

ditto

I didnt seem to have any website trouble, just a tab bit of slow loading, but im listening to the Bioshock score so the time passed by quickly.
 
I get to the agreement page, and I click accept after scrolling to the bottom, but it always times out. Well, nothing is worth this agony. I'll try a few hours later, if I don't get in then, oh well. At least I got into one highly anticipated beta this year :(.
 
Duck said:
Are any other Mac users getting in?

EDIT:

Looks like I'm screwed.

No idea if this will help or not (it probably doesn't make a difference), but try going to system preferences > appearance and then changing the "Place scroll arrows" option to "At top and bottom" (also relaunch safari after doing that).
 
If it makes you guys feel any better, I've never played a CoD game but I'm enjoying CoD4 so far :D :D

Great fun.

Tried exactly that, and it didn't work. :(

I think I'll just wait until November to play the game unless they fix the signups.
