In Soviet Russia, Duty calls you! (CoD4) brother, can you spare a key?

Beta is now very much in session, if you haven't got a key, you may be able to scavenge one from somewhere, but it's looking unlikely now. Just buy the damned thing when it comes out, okay?

gogogo!

I just got mine and DLing now. :D




i knew we already had a thread on this, but after posting a reply in it and seeing it fail to jump to the top of G&T, i noticed it's still in the now non-existant E3 subforum. Also known as limbo. So here's the OP from that thread (credit to bruin), complete with a new piece from Gamespot on the singleplayer stuff they've tried. It's pretty glowing, but over a couple of pages, so i can post the text here if people want, but it'll be spoilerised.

Gamespot Preview

It's been discussed in the Microsoft and Sony conference threads, but I think it looks awesome enough to deserve its own, and is one of the few games I'd considering call the best of E3 this year.

Basically, I'm ready to bend over and let Infinity Ward have their way with me come October 30.

    I'd like to say that I'm going to enjoy the CoD4 beta, but given how charlieoscardelta.com goes down more than your sister on prom night, when beta tokens start going out and people are absolutely raping the servers, forget it. I'm not getting my hopes up. :P

    I thought this game had an incredibly showing at E3, especially the Gamespot stage demo.

    Also the fact that this runs at 60 fps on 360 (most shooters, even Gears, Bioshock, and Halo 3 have been 30) is amazing.

    Hmm, coming out for the 360? Maybe I can talk my friend into getting it and playing the multiplayer over Halo 3.

    But yeah, this is one of the titles I'm definitely excited for this year. I just hope it doesn't come out too close to Crysis or some of the others.

    I wasn't sold on this game until I read about the multiplayer. Looks excellent, definately one of my guaranteed buys this season. Right up there with Bioshock, Mass Effect, SMG and SSB.

    looking forward to this. still wondering about some of the equipment they've mentioned such as chicken wire for windows, so you can't get easily grenaded while sniping from it. havent seen stuff like that in any videos yet.

    The dev's said that they would include a realistic mode/mutator or whatever right out of the box (?). If that turns the game into a semi-quasi original Ghost Recon/Rainbow Six then AMDAC!!! :lol:

    I'm slightly disapointed that the game dosn't have supersonic bullet sounds (atleast what i've seen from the trailers) but dang the material penetration is hot, HOT!

    I can honestly say I wasn't as blown away as most people were by CoD4. The game is gorgeous and looks fun (and the multiplayer will probably be a decent diversion), but I can't see myself buying this at full price. I'm hoping the beta will change my mind.

    I don't know, Call of Duty's multiplayer has always been above average, but the single player portion of the game, with the scripted events and everything, really makes it worthwhile for me.

    Has there been any word on a PC beta? Everything I see just mentions it for the 360.

    I totally agree, the multiplayer I'm sure will be fun and I'll play a decent amount of it, but I think there's few developers that craft a campaign (in an action game at least) as well as Infinity Ward.

    it's the CoD i've been looking forward to, they did such a good job with the WW2 stuff before, but it was inevitable that they'd want to move on to something else. Could be something really good, this.

    what.. i.. do i laugh or cry? That was something.

    Anyway, in the trailers for CoD4, i was thrilled to see Pripyat come up, which was so damned atmospheric in STALKER. Looks like that's part of some mid-game prologue.
