CoD4 Beta Signups at 12 PST Today

If you've been hankering for you shot at the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer beta, your wait may be at an end. First of all, the beta has been spotted on the official Xbox Live Maretplace ticker. What's more, the listing declares that the beta is due to come out today. If you prefer a little more proof than an Xbox.com listing (and we wouldn't blame you if you do), Robert Bowling (GT: fourzerotwo), a community manager for Infinity Ward, was playing the beta at the time of this posting. We haven't received any sort of notification from CharlieOscarDelta.com, so we're assuming the beta hasn't started just yet. Still, if Infinity Ward is on Live testing the beta, it can't be too long, can it? Check out a screen cap of Bowling's gamercard after the break.

The second Phase will be at 12PST on Monday August 27th.

How does one get a hold of a beta?
I participated in one eons ago on a pc, and it involved in an application and a survey.

From what I gather they're going to let 20,000 in on a first come first serve basis. You also have to answer a 3 question quiz. That's about all I know right now. The website to watch is Here.

 

[foghorn67]

talk about a hammered site.

I remember when the Halo 3 beta did a similar thing, it was near impossible to even get the page to load.

Still looks like the "enter now" is coming soon on their website. Looking forward to this though...I really want to get in on the beta.

^^ Same here

But this means that the Beta is at least through MS Certification and ready to be downloaded as soon as they give out "tokens"

 

[bucwylde23]

Well I went out for about an hour and now the website is down for "maintenance".

 

[ObscureCaucasian]

Oh man I got that too. Something is coming soon.

COD4 beta listing clarified, coming "soon"

A listing on the Xbox Live Marketplace ticker for the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer beta set the internetz on fire earlier today. The listing, you see, has the date "8/17" tattooed onto it very clearly. The folks at 2old2play caught up with a representative from Activision to get the whole mess cleared up. The rep stated that while there is no official release date at this time, the beta will be happening "soon" and that we should expect "more information shortly."

We'd like to point out that the content on the ticker generally seems to correspond with the day it actually hits Marketplace, so we're wondering just how "soon" the beta really is. After all, we know it's being played right now. All we're really waiting for at this point is for Activision and Infinity Ward to start handing out beta codes to participants. For those of you eagerly waiting for more, you'd best keep your browser pointed at CharlieOscarDelta.com.

So who knows now heh.

They are probably adding the ticker to their homepage now.

A lot of people do think they're just switching servers now, and adding a countdown timer. I hope it doesn't go live tonight because I'm going to see Superbad.

Site is back up and getting hammered, but no new content or announcement.

I just saw that. Perhaps they were moving the site to new servers that will be more able to handle the traffic the beta will cause. I'd expect some information to come from Infinity Ward tomorrow.

i have been watching this for some time, and to be honest, i think they have rode the hype machine long enough. they need to put the damn beta out now. every day that goes by without the beta the less interested in the game i become, haha. teases...

Regarding the CoD4:MW MP Public Beta: later this week the countdown clock will be going up, and don't worry it's a short one! We've been hard at work on finalizing the details of the Beta, and we're excited to finally let you know when you'll be able to join!

Straight from the horses mouth.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Yay! Been checking that site daily.

 

[bucwylde23]

I've been checking that site regularly for quite some time now, and I know that after all this effort I've put into it, I won't get in on the beta.

 

[purbeast0]
