    did i mention how much i love the halo-style melee?

    I mostly love that most new first person shooters have the melee attack mapped by default to clicking the right stick.

    I've used that setting (the equivalent of Halo's "Green Thumb") since like 2 months after the original Halo was released.

    I'm still steamy mad about unlocks though. Unlocks should be exclusively relegated to the realm of pure aesthetics. They shouldn't get in the way of gameplay.

    They'll probably do an account wipe like other MP betas.

    To knife someone, I'm convinced you need to learn how to sprint and melee at the same time. Kill one, dash, kill another. I somehow managed to tear through a spawn with about 5 enemies, killing all of them by using that method within the room. [or maybe I got lucky, my brother was shouting 'that's impossible! there's no way!']

    It's a little like being an Alien in the alien movies, I love it.

    So yea, I mean.. if anyone ever wants a handicap, send me an invite. I love the game, but I fucking suck at it.

    I've had my moments of genius. Both teammates dropped from the game, leaving me 3 on 1, and I took the entire enemy team out. But usually rounds end with me dead in the first 15 seconds...

    So yea, I'll help your team suck!

    Actually there is a way you can get into the Beta...

    However you need your friends gamertag and e-mail and the password so they can recover your XBL account...


    1. Plug in 2 Controllers.
    2. Sign Controller 1 into the shared account (the one with the Beta)
    3. Leave Controller 2 signed out
    4. With Controller 1, go to 'Account Management' under the Marketplace Blade then 'Download History'
    5. With Controller 2, press the Guide Button then A to access profiles
    6. With Controller 1, select YOUR account and sign in
    7. Press B on Controller 2 (to exit the guide) then unplug Controller 2
    8. Select the COD4 Beta onscreen, then press 'Confirm Download'
    9. The Beta will now download with YOUR account and once done, will work with your account

    I imagine there will be many "scam" or "hack" accusations but...well...I think you should reconsider 8-)

    If you don't believe me, try it with a friends account and not someone on the board...though that's how I did it :)

    Apparently not, I met three men from Russia today on the beta.

    No idea how they got in the beta, but it's really annoying.

    Well, I had to wait for my beta token to arrive for almost a week, while impatient people all around were glitching to get themselves tokens, even though Charlie Oscar Delta said that other countries would be able to get in later, along with the ability to invite friends to the beta.

    And have you played with Russians? My character felt like he was sliding around in a preset track five seconds after I move the left stick.

    Yeah, I played with some French and British people. The Brits, not so bad. The French, it was like walking on ice uphill. I don't think they optimized the matchmaking settings yet and adding these other countries too soon is really killing some games.

    Then they should optimize matchmaking so you have a better chance of playing with Europeans than Americans. Lagging is a kind of two way street, if me and the guy from Russia are playing, I'm lagging because of him, and he's lagging because of me, so we're not having as much fun as a game with little or no lag.

    They should just pull of a Halo 3 beta and give the entire fucking world a beta key already. Then the lagging shit wouldn't be frustrating everyone.

    Honestly.
