For anyone who wants to get in the beta and who has a friend who is in it, you could try this (this does work, its taken from another forum I'm on).

This tutorial will show you how to give somebody else the COD4 Beta as long as you have already downloaded it. You can also use these same steps to allow any other GamerTag on your console to play the COD4 bet if you have already downloaded it with any other GamerTag. Just skip the recovery in step 1 if this is the case.

You will need 2 controllers to do this, use a Guitar Hero 2 controller if you have to!

You will NOT need a Beta Token for this to work! You do NOT need to be in the USA for this to work!

1. Have your friend sign out of their GamerTag but preferrably leave their 360 powered ON until you are finished. Then YOU do a GamerTag Recovery* of that friend's account to your xbox 360. They will have to provide you with their GamerTag , email address and password** they used to create this GamerTag. Their account must be a GOLD Xbox Live Account or it will not allow them to download this beta. Recovery process can take 5 min to 1 hour depending on their account history.

* While doing a recovery if you get booted during the migration of their GamerTag just try again and it should work the second time, or keep trying.

** If your friend wishes to temporarily change their password for security reasons they can do so at http://login.live.com/

2. Have controller 1 signed in as YOUR OWN account. Have controller 2 signed in as the GamerTag you just recovered from your buddy.

3. With controller 1 (YOUR OWN GamerTag) go to Account Management and then Download History. You can get to Account Management by selecting your own gamercard from the "Xbox Live" blade and then selecting "Account Management". Select "Download History" and only highlight "Call of Duty 4 MP Beta" but do not press A or any buttons.

4. Now press the center XBox button on controller 1 and SIGN OUT of YOUR OWN Gamertag and press B to close the tab.

5. With Controller 2 (Your friend's GamerTag) press A on the "Call of Duty 4 MP Beta". Select "Download Again" and "Confirm Download". This will only take a couple seconds because it already exists on your hard drive.

6. To verify that this has worked now go all the way back to the dashboard with Controller 2 (Friends GamerTag) and then go to Account Management and Download History again. You should see "Call of Duty 4 MP Beta" now at the very top of their download history and all of the other crap they downloaded in the past beneath.

7. Log out of your friend's GamerTag* and have him log into his GamerTag on his own console. Have them go to Account Management and Download History then select "Call of Duty 4 MP Beta" and select "Download Again". They may get a message saying that their GamerTag was on another console and it needs to be recovered. Just tell them to go ahead and do the recovery and then they can go download the beta from their Download History.

* After you log out their GamerTag you should probably go delete their profile from your hard drive. When doing so choose "Delete Profile Only" so you dont accidentally remove the beta from your own hard drive.

Also, I've got my code during the night, so will go and download now. My Gamertag is WelshBluebird1 if anyone wants a game.

Would it not be possible to recover your profile on their hard drive, re-download the beta, delete your profile, and then have them sign into theirs and play like that?

I would assume so, but I honestly do not know.

Just had a few games of free for all, and I'm very impressed. Brilliant graphics and brilliant multiplayer gameplay. Just hope they raise the level cap soon lol.

They're sending out 10,000 a day as it is. You should have it by the weekend at the latest.

I sure hope so, parents are leaving for DC this weekend along with my brother and sister :p I will have plenty of time. :)

Deleting your profile on one Xbox will still have that account rendered useless on the original Xbox it was on. You'll have to recover it back onto your Xbox to do anything on Live but when you do that, your friend's "pirated" COD4 Beta will stop working.

MS didn't make Live this easy to bypass.

I'm freaking HAPPY!

"If you have a COD4 BETA Icon under your user name on the forums, this means that your registered to receive or have already received a BETA token for the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Multiplayer BETA.

Some of you who haven't received keys yet are probably on the list who signed up over the 24-hour sign-up and your key just hasn't arrived yet.

Essentially, if you have an icon, you're a beta tester (present or future) so congrats. We appreciate all the great feedback you guys have been providing in helping us fine tune the multiplayer experience before launch."
