(sigh) man am i glad to hear that. Thank god.

it'd be funny if it says in small print **NOTE** YOU MUST ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: While in the E3 debut trailer, at 1:09 seconds, how many blades of grass were there?

let's hope not. Here's to future COD4 MP Beta fun!!

We should all pout and scream and make total asses of ourselves and maybe make an online petition to ensure we get our beta keys.

This whole fiasco might have dropped call of duty 4 from "Buy" to "Rent" for me this holiday season. Their hosting company lied to them my ass; no hosting company could have handled that type of mass traffic, and Infinity Ward knows it. This is a pathetic attempt to shift blame off of themselves, and to attempt PR mending. Let's just hope we can get this thing downloaded and start playing by tomorrow atleast.

@BananaBoat

I think there are some hosting companies that could handle it. its just a matter of scalability and having the right backend. maybe they needed a mysql cluster. maybe they needed to have a system to start new web servers up on the fly instead of a static amount. but its not IW's fault if their hosting solution lied to them. that's what businesses do, they get other companies to do stuff for them and they depend on those businesses to keep their word. i would blame IW's hosting company, not IW.

and going from "buy" to "rent"? that's a fair-weathered fan at its best. its a BETA. if they wanted, they could do what most companies do and not have any beta and make you wait for the game to be actually released. they're giving you a gift. and you reward them by saying you're probably not going to buy it cause of some hosting problem for a couple days? maybe you're not the type of fans IW wants anyways...

Hey Neeko, can you teach me the dark secrets of "nad groaning"? It sounds like some intense tantric prayer chant but from my nads!

I already have the beta. It's really great!!!! Sucks you guys missed out though. *evil laugh* Just kidding, it really sucks that they couldn't handle the traffic but that's good news that there is a 24 hour period to get in now. Also, the guy saying he won't buy the game now because of the beta problems. You need to be grateful that they are even offering a beta.

Yeah, Beta is pretty much amazing. I got it through F&F cause I had been on the site for like 4 months. It's too bad that you all can't get it as soon as today. I was really hoping they would raise the level cap above 11.

I get to the verify age page, but it crashes after that :/

I really hope i get to do this tonight and that i get in! i missed my H3 Beta due to freak things like missing H2 maps and no luck and whatnot and i hope i can compensate and win a token here.

Well, regardless, here's to seeing you guys on the beta! Cheers!

i got this bs message:

Your name will now be entered into a random drawing for Tokens into the Xbox 360 Multiplayer Beta. 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. Even if your name is not chosen in the random drawing, there will be more ways to get into the Beta, and we will continue to update you on the details as soon as they’re finalized!




total bullshit

@32..

Did you not read the news article? They did away with First come, first serve because of the server crashing.

Anyway, got in last night, here's hoping I'll get in this time around. Didn't get in with the trivia questions (even though they were all right according to everything I read.)
