Good thing the Beta lasts until Halo 3 though. That's all I cared about.

Is there any way to recover a code you were e-mailed but haven't used yet? I formatted my drives last week and I forgot to write the code down from the e-mail. I checked the charlieoscardelta website but I couldn't find anything in the beta section.

If you deleted the email.. you're out of luck buddy.

Here's a lesson to you; use web-based mail.

Eh, no worries then. TF2 beta is tomorrow anyway so CoD4 wouldn't get any play time past today anyway. :lol

I'm only at level 10 after 3 hours of playtime (only played free-for-all dm to learn the ropes though).
In better news, it helped a lot when I got that red dot sight. And I love the S.A.W. as the spray'n'pray style seems to suit me well in the free-for-all mode.
Finally had some time to play this beta with my a couple of friends. I never noticed any lag or slowdown. The air strikes and chopper stuff is awesome. The action is intense and the weapons are quite easy to handle. From: "Dunno about this yet", to: "Must Buy! day 1!" within a few minutes. I've never been this impressed by a Beta.
The vaccant map is a mess though, and still needs some work, the Crash and Overgrown(?) maps are designed perfectly.
There is only one letdown about the game, voice chat. I always talk dutch on XboxLive with my friends, It's much easier to coordinate the team that way. However some Americans joined in today and immediatly started complaining about us being "Eurofags" , "yeah, we're totally going to report you for racial slur or something", "You know, ever since these Europeans joined COD4 Beta, the game sucks", "I know, I can't find a decent server nowadays." These guys were also clueless about our language. "They sound like columbians", "yeah, stupid gayfags, those asshole's should be banned you know, they shouldn't allow Europeans on XboxLive.", "Yeah, I hope you get cancer so you don't screw around in our servers anymore." So I responded with: "Columbia you say, we're not even from that continent." They were completely silent for a few minutes, because they knew we could understand what they were saying. And he said something like "Columbia, that's like in South Africa or Europe or something...", "It's not in a America, hey why do they get to play as US marines, they aren't even US.", "No they're more like Al Qaida, or Nazi's or something..." These guys are trying to hard to be a stereotype American, and they weren't 12 years old.

Could not agree more, it turns an otherwise tactical shooter into a Quake style death match.

Dude, I liked you until the second sentence, are you crazy? It's the best of the three by quite some distance!
Opus Angelorum said:
Overgrown over Crash? Crash is a perfect mix of y-axis fighting, short range, long range, outside and inside depending on where you are. Overgrown is missing the y-axis part and a lot of short range fighting. It also caters heavily to the campers/snipers, which are pretty annoying to begin with.
Dina said:
If anything both Crash and Vacant cater to campers a hell of a lot more. These are so cramped that you can crouch/prone and rack up kills. In overgrown since its soo big sometimes the action is so far away that you Have to move. If you stay prone the entire match you wont win.
I finally got my Xbox 360 back from M$ after 2 1/2 weeks and finally got to use my beta code for COD4. I'm like this game so far and the leveling system which I usually hate in online games. The Crash map IMO is the best map. Which one isn't going to be in the final game? I heard that one of the maps in the beta wasn't going to make it into the retail game...

Unfortunately not, it was an article I read I'll try and dig it up.

Oh my bad, yeah I think Crash was confirmed to be in the final game. I'm assuming the other will be Overgrown? Everyone hates Vacant.

My bad, well certainly most times I play that map it's always being voted to be changed, with Overgrown next.

I need to play on your games, that is the one reason why I hate it, there is zero teamwork.

Vacant is excellent, Overgrown is horrible. Try playing objective games on either and I think you will agree.
Goreomedy said:
Agreed. I think it has something to do with some of the following:
- Spawning with lack of cover near the gas station
- Predominantly sniper oriented
- Camp points with higher success rates. (See: house by the field with attic and "chokepoint" between the two houses.)
Summed up in one point:
- Lower action rate compared to the others. Stuff is always happening in Crash and Vacant. It is not uncommon to be wandering looking for people for nearly an entire minute on Overgrown. It is also a lot more time consuming to flank in Overgrown.
