Call of Duty 4 Early Beta Registration Today

[IEatFriedPikmin]

Preamble:
We worked hard to get this beta done July 26th. Since then we've been working on logistical issues, MS cert, what would be involved to make everything work internationally, number of keys, and a bunch of other boring non-game stuff. Most of it is just related to being the first 3rd party console game to offer a beta.

Now there are even more logistical issues coming up. Streetwise is pumping up their servers in an effort for charlieoscardelta to be able to handle the beta traffic. Additionally, since they are testing the new servers right now they can't really update them. So putting up countdowns, changing and testing the scripts to gather info for tokens, etc would have to wait a bit.
24 hour notice:
But we've been playing the beta internally, and it's so much fun we are dying to play with you. So... let's blow off waiting for the site and just consider this the countdown -- there will be a way for people to register for the beta starting 5pm PST tomorrow. Some of those will be playing as early as tomorrow night.. tick tock tick tock.

The roll out:
The beta is going to roll out in waves. Rather than just putting a million people in the beta and hope nothing goes wrong, we will ramp up the playercount over time.

As fourzerotwo mentioned, right now some friends/family are testing. The press will be joining in the next couple days -- including those of you who make it into the first wave.

No worries if you aren't in the very first wave (most won't be), we should have a new wave of players every day or so as we ramp up.

Details on how to register for your chance to be in the beta will be posted tomorrow at 5pm PST*. So stay tuned for details, it will be a limited time offer.

*= this may not be the only way to ever get in the beta, but it is the way to have a chance to get in the early waves.

I'd love to be in this Beta.

[OG_Monkey]

yep yep same here.

[Birakon]

i got in, who else did?

[IEatFriedPikmin]

the website isn't coming up :(

[r33hash]

I'm not even sure when or where you were supposed to sign up for this.

[OG_Monkey]

i got in, who else did?

how? it still says coming soon...

Alright guys, so here’s the deal. The Friends and Family portion of the beta has been going great, and we’re ready to let in the early first wave of CharlieOscarDelta members to help us start testing it out further. Since this is earlier than expected we’re going to do a special First Wave Beta Lotto to determine who will get an early chance at the Beta, don’t worry though, there are going to be many more waves of people let in after this. We decided to do email lotto so that it’s completely fair to all who enter.

Here’s how it’s going to work. Below we have an email you will need to send to us. Copy and paste the following email EXACTLY, fill in the answers, and send it to us. The lotto email will be open for 24 hours and that’s it. Then we’re shutting the sucker down, again, I remind you that if you don’t get in this first wave, DO NOT WORRY! This is just the first of many chances to get into the beta.

That’s it, that’s all you have to do to be eligible for the first wave. Copy and paste the text below into an email to firstwavelotto@beta.infinityward.com, fill in the answers and send it in. Make sure you copy and paste the text below EXACTLY otherwise your email may be lost. Now here’s the email:

???????

[r33hash]

Damn. I want in!

[OG_Monkey]

i know

[XboxEvolved]

I just got in 2 days ago, so far it isn't to bad..but yeah you can tell they are holding back.

[r33hash]

argh. I hate you guys.

[Birakon]

this game is amazing.

[alias858]

CoD 4 is awesome!!!

[Nameless]

I just recieved my Token!
I'm downloading the game now...
I will have to let Warhawk collect a little dust while I play the beta.

[OG_Monkey]

i hate you. Man i want my token already. Is it true everyone that entered is getting one, just by waves? Everyone will sooner or later get one....

[Fillibuster]

Hopefully! I'm still waiting for mine...

[Nameless]

Just played the game for a few hours and I'm very impressed...
The visuals are great, and the lighting is well done.
I have to admit the visuals are not mindblowing, but very well done and some of the best I have seen for multiplayer on the 360.

I reallly like all of the different challenges for weapons and the customization options. I have the feeling this game will be an online beast and will give Halo 3 a run for it's money...

[HeroOfTimeGCN]

I have a key but no 360 :(

Hopefully I'll have my console within a week or so, i want to play this SOOOO fuckin bad.

[r33hash]

It is the beta, and the online portion of the game also, so they graphics aren't going to be as stellar as the final product will portray.

[BigfootGus]

my brother is playing this right now

[OG_Monkey]

I have a key but no 360 :(

Hopefully I'll have my console within a week or so, i want to play this SOOOO fuckin bad.

well you know...if you decide to give it away...i asked 1st lol

[IEatFriedPikmin]

i thought the graphics were good.

I don't know though.. I don't see why a lot of people are so excited for the multiplayer portion. It's fun... but it doesn't really feel new to me.

Of course I have only played 4 rounds.

[BigfootGus]

my little brother seems to really like it

i think i might play it in a little while

[OG_Monkey]

well good for him...and you...and the rest of you beta token gettin asses

humph!

[BigfootGus]

i had nothing to do with it good sir!

my brother likes those games, and he registered allllllll by himself

humph!

[OG_Monkey]

and he also got a token early alllllll by himself....

humph!

lol

[IEatFriedPikmin]

thats what you get. i would have give you my token if i would have known.

[BigfootGus]

so you registered but didnt get in!!!

[OG_Monkey]

thats what you get. i would have give you my token if i would have known.

:matrix:


so you registered but didnt get in!!!

is that what happened?

yeah i registered...but no email

im trynna see if its really true for everyone who entered will be gettin one...

[BigfootGus]

i wish you the best of luck

[OG_Monkey]

oh well, i dont get 1 i dont get 1....i mean its just some beta....*sniffs*

[BigfootGus]

there there OG

youll get one

and if not, youre a complete and total failure at life

[IEatFriedPikmin]

its not really original or anything. I guess I can understand if you are a huge fan... but I just don't see this game as a game I would play for months on end. I just don't think you are missing out on anything huge.

of course, i have only, once again, played 3 rounds.

[OG_Monkey]

lol...i think

im not a huge fan, i just wanna play it. I havent bought a new game in months and im just waiting for halo 3. Just bored is all. COD4 comes out when again?

[BigfootGus]

get bioshock

[Fillibuster]

I'm in the same boat as OG...I registered but have yet to receive a token. *sigh* :emo:

[OG_Monkey]

get bioshock

nah, my friend got it, i figured id just free load off him and wait until he beats it then ill borrow

[BigfootGus]

i would still buy it

even if you beat his copy of the game

just so you can replay it anytime you want

[Rabid]

It's pretty good, I've been playing it since yesterday. I just found it hilarious that someone sounded just like the MC in the Halo Beta video, going "Veto veto veto veto fuck fuck fuck fuck. Fuck Overgrown, fuck fuck fuck."

Oh, and everyone who signed up within the 24 hours is going to be getting a token, so just be patient. http://fourzerotwo.com/

[Birakon]

they ruined the beta, i've been playing it for a over a week (since last thursday) and they let like 8000 mor people in and overloaded the servers and now it's filled with annoying 10 year olds. I guess my time with the beta is over.

[BigfootGus]

im one of those annoying ten year olds

i just throw smoke grenades and run through them stabbing with my knife-thingy

or sit in one place, on the ground, and try to snipe everyone in the whole level

[IEatFriedPikmin]

[Rabid]

Yea, I feel cool now because I unlocked the ACOG scope for my M4

[Fillibuster]

Yeah...got my token e-mail tonight.

[OG_Monkey]

got it today, downloading it now.

wtf, i need my fuckin token already shit

[Rabid]

As long as these 10k new users don't overload the servers, you should be getting one this weekend, especially seeing as they seem to have fixed the "Downloading Playlist" bug

[OG_Monkey]

hopefully

[IEatFriedPikmin]

yah... i was having trouble with that "downloading" bug...

This game reminds me of counter-strike for some reason.

[OG_Monkey]

downloading bug?

[IEatFriedPikmin]

every time i would try to join a game, a downloading screeen would come up and wouldn't go away.

[Rabid]

Yep, they've got it fixed and everyone is getting their token today/tonight

[OG_Monkey]

I got mine...like 2 hours ago and been playing since lol. You all wanna do a E-Mpire tourney?

This game is awsome btw

[Fillibuster]

Ahhhhhhhh I need to get back to my 360!!!!

[D3adcell]

[OG_Monkey]

[Fillibuster]

But seriously, thanks for making it worse... :emo:

[OG_Monkey]

sorry :(

[Rabid]

I just played for about 12 hours straight... What am I doing with my life? =(

[XboxEvolved]

You a sad sad boy. Anyways PEOPLE ADD ME I NEEDZ PEEPOLZ 2 PLEY WIT

[OG_Monkey]

lets create a day to all play

[masteratt]

Well this game is surprisingly awesome.

60FPs really helps and it's one of the few games I've played on X360 without jaggies.

[OG_Monkey]

hell yeah. Its like, it loks so real. Like i was watching a video. Im dying to play single player now too. And i like that you really dont need skill for this, just pick up the controller and get good at it.

[XboxEvolved]

you just by definition said how people practice and become skilled at something.

[OG_Monkey]

yeeeeea....i dont get it....

[D3adcell]

Yeah it is a bad ass game i played for like 4 hours straight last night.

I think the knife might be a little over powered though.

[OG_Monkey]

lol, i love that nife. Like the energy sword in halo 2

[masteratt]

OHHhhh there is a knife?! ¬_¬ That explains why my guy decided to suddenly die.

Man that was annoying, I've only played for like 10mins though and still was annoyed by me suddenly dying.

Next time, I'll get the knife :evil:

[OG_Monkey]

you automatically have it. Just click the right analog stick down

[Rabid]

I love this thing, I even just added 402 to my friends list -.-

[Fillibuster]

Just got back to school and downloaded it and I'm getting that Downloading Game Settings screen and it isn't going away...how is this remedied?

[OG_Monkey]

um...i got that once but i forgot what i did to get that. But i just turned the system off and started the beta again then you should go straight to deathmatch or whatever you wanna do. Try that

[Fillibuster]

I just kept retrying and eventually got into a game...I'm liking the Beta, but after going so long since playing COD2 I was amazed at how quickly the deaths come lol

[OG_Monkey]

yeah lol, thats what it like then you quickly respawn, awsome

[Cofey]

The beta is a lot of fun, but I only just reached level 4. Everyone else is level 11. I always get my ass handed to me.

[Fillibuster]

I got to 11 fast; it won't take you long at all.

[FoeHammer]

i suck at this game
but it's too fun to stop playing

[Rabid]

Level cap is being raised this friday (today/tomorrow) at 1PM EST =D

[OG_Monkey]

thank god
