Call of Duty: World at War beta now open to all on XBL

Didn't get in on the Call of Duty: World at War beta action in mid-October? Well, you're in luck. Activision has gone and made the beta available to everyone via the Xbox Live Marketplace as of right now.

We're downloading it at this very moment to see if it's identical to the updated beta release rolled out on Oct. 20. It weighs in at just under 890MB, so, if you've got the space, download it and cast a "NO" vote on Nazis ... with a flame thrower.

[Thanks, Austin]

I went into this game wanting to hate it. I loved Call of duty 4 so much I didnt want to give it up. But after playing the beta last night I gotta say i really liked it. The dogs attacking is great, the tanks are cool and the levels are really thought out more than in CoD4 and that was hard for me to say. Play the beta for yourself and find out.

Let me preface this by saying that I also enjoyed my first evening of the beta (though, I did get stuck in a wall on Makin and my friend got stuck in a ladder on Castle). Don't get ahead of yourself, though. We're not certain the levels were that well thought out yet. It's just that only a small number of people have been playing. Soon enough, people will spend tireless hours trying to find glitch spots or dominating sniping spots. Also, we need to find out about the other maps--and how all of these maps handle the different game types.
