I have been playing the beta all night. It's by far one of the best multiplayer games on xbox. I think it is a Halo killer, but unfortunately with the hype and anticipation of Halo, halo has a secure future. Anyways, cod4 is absolutely amazing. It's amazingly balanced, has great long term value, terrific sounds/effects/textures, and most of all its incredibly fun.
I would definitely be interested in taking this division somewhere, just like the MoHAA division back in the day. If you havn't signed up to get a key for the beta yet, DO IT! This is one of the best games I've played on the 360. I would easily put it above CS.

The first small wave of "pre-beta",if you will, did come out last week...they just had the first huge public tokens sent out 2 days ago...
go to fourtwozero's blog (
www.fourtwozero.com) and look back about a week...there is a post about a week ago where he asked people to send e-mails with anwsers to a few questions to an infinity ward e-mail as to be in the first-wave lotto (i think the most i ever saw online until a couple days ago was 1,000)... If you still don't believe me I can post a time-stamped e-mail that has an extra excerpt that states it was actually still considered "friends and family." only.
It is no doubt a great game, and I've really only logged about 12 hours of actual in-game time in a week... I'd say about 90% of the time I'm the top one (on my team at least) in the game...a little more now because there is a lot of new blood that just came in during the last couple of days. Still...It play VERY similair to the battlefield series; just on a smaller scale. It's going to be a huge multiplayer without a doubt... I'm not sure I understand how you can call this game a halo killer then say halo has more hype so it's going to be secured; that is half of the battle...Why do you think CoD is doing the beta strategy? Half of the people who've registered on charlieoscardelta.com in the last month hadn't heard of it for the last 6 months it's been around...The only difference was they caught news of a beta; it's IW's way of hyping the game up...Now all they need to do is sit back and let these salivating beta players spread the news to their buddies about how great the game is.
It's one of those games where you can jump into a game full of veterans and still feel useful; you will get a kill, and you will feel exhilaration (Though the seasoned players will know your a total nib pretty easily).
I've been following this game for some time, and it's nice to see it come to fruiting and I do think it's going to be a smash hit of a game...It's just that after awhile it gets to feel like I'm playing BF2 again zooming down my dot site wasting half a clip to drop my foe....
Killya did you play the Halo 3 beta by any chance?
