Yup, that's the same screen that loaded at exactly 12:07. This is either a huge screw up, or a hoax

Wow, what a terrible way to do a beta. Someone needs to hire a new IT staff....

I don't believe for a second they could have sold out the beta tickets already. I got that message, but barely anybody has gotten through, and it seems like everybody who has got that same message. It must be a glitch.

They haven't all been taken. I'm watching several forums. Nobody has gotten in. It's just messing up.

Ok, so we have a screen of how there aren't any tokens. Any screens from someone who supposedly got in and did the trivia bullshit, or did Infinity Ward just say fuck it and email all the tokens out randomly since they couldn't get their site to work properly.

"Although Charlie Oscar Delta's Token Codes have been reserved, there will be many more opportunities to get into the Beta! Check back into SITREP often, as we'll be updating the site with information as soon as it's finalized." Let's hope so

Oh, I like this part of their message:

In the United States and Canada, we are working with GameSpot and GameStop on two new ways to reserve a spot in the Beta.

So, let me translate this all.
"we are sorry, but we enjoy screwing with our potential customers. We regret to inform you that you have been had.

However, now that we've wiped you up in a fanboy frenzy, we would like to take this opportunity to direct you to Gamestop, where we will again screw you over by selling you a beta invite.

What, It worked for Halo, didn't it?"

That was a complete waste of my time. Like everyone else I could not get through and once I did it said all the tokens were given out!!?? Who the heck got tokens?? "We are working out a deal with Gamestop to issue more tokens" FU!!!

www.charlieoscardelta.com won't load now. I think there is a slip up somewhere. I would stand by and wait to see what happens.

If this really bothers you, they are starting a petition on Infinty Wards Message Boards. Let them know of this complete and utter failure. Just put it on the marketplace.

"releases in November due to the unfair way Infinity Ward has handles and presented the Call of Duty 4 beta"

has handles? This petition was obviously written by a lolcat.

why didnt they just randomly select people for the beta and not make it such big fucking deal, giving fans false hopes at actually obtaining a token is just cruel.

Yea, I'm done messing around with this. If it comes back on, great. If not, whatever. Either way, they can take this game and shove it. I'll grab it off the torrents once it's released and cracked, or buy it used. Either way, they are not getting any of my cash.

One hour later and the site will still not load?? If this is how their website runs I am second guessing playing the beta!

From http://fourzerotwo.blogspot.com/2007/08/madness-this-is-beta.html

warning* Bold words and profanity from this point on. Loose Lips Sink Ships.

QUICK-UPDATE:

First: I'm as pissed as you guys.

Second: Here's the low down.

As the many of you who have stayed home from work, school, and neglected loved onces can attest to, CharlieOscarDelta.com has officially died. Today. Again. On Beta sign-up day. While we're all waiting for the countdown timer to hit zero.

We were assured relentlessly time and time again by the company who runs and maintains Charlieoscardelta.com for us that they have adequately prepared the servers for this massive Beta roll-out.

That was fucking bullshit.

I'm not going to lie, I'm fucking mad as hell.

Fuck this first come first serve registration, WE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE COMMUNITY.

NO MORE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. We will be taking care of the guys who've spent the last 6 months on the site, reading all of our updates, participating in our forums, and staying home all day today refreshing the site to get a token.

YOU WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF, and we will make sure that everyone has an equal chance to get into the beta REGARDLESS of depending on the the site.

So here's the current plan. We are cracking whips and making sure the site gets back up and running. We're going to do away with the first come, first serve and are going to have open registration for 24 hours.

So whether you're able to get on the site within the hour, or log on at midnight tonight, you can sign-up and have an equal chance at a token.

We will then take that massive database of sign-ups over the next 24 hours, and distribute all available tokens to the members who sign-up.

We're doing everything we can to make sure this site crash does not effect your chances for Beta glory.

So keep the comments, emails, and calls coming guys, it's just fueling our fight to make sure you guys are taken care of.

CHECK BACK OFTEN FOR UPDATES, as I'll keep you guys FULLY in the loop.

HEADS ARE ROLLIN'

I got in to the quiz, then I answered 3 q's (one about the SAS, another about multiplayer helicopter support, one about deep impact)

I answered, submitted, and then brought to the "Click to enter" page again - does that mean it worked?

sigh.

probably not - site down for maintenance.

No lovin' for us here in Japan. Yes I know there are only three of us 360 players over here (me, CheapyD and one local kid with too much money) but we would have liked to have gotten in too.
