If anyone does happen to have a free one lying around I'll gladly accept - One of my mates signed up but his filter must have eaten it

(He didn't even get the first mail from Eurogamer with the activation code LOL!)

Guys (and girls), I'm on right now. Add me and send me a message saying "neowin".

yeah log off xbox & log back in should fix it

[acies]

hmm still not working :ninja:

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Acies, wait for it. It'll come eventually. Alot of people are playing the MP beta. I've been in a few games where I was disconnected due to copious amounts of lagg. Anyway, keep trying. You'll get in sooner or later.

[acies]

aa I got in!! Awesome.

Hey sharpy2k4,

I'll gladly take your code. Huge COD2 player. Thanks a bunch.

Just started playing this today (my cousin was playing it yesterday I think) and wow, very impressed so far.

I enjoyed this ALOT more than the Halo 3 MP beta I'll tell you that much. The maps, while small-ish are beautiful, the weapons FEEL great, the sounds are awesome, and the overall action is superb.

Of course, if I see another person say that CoD 4 looks better than Crysis, I'll have to go and kill them. I mean, the game looks great and everything, but better than Crysis? Wow, what kinda stuff are they smoking? :|

[Trong]

Guys, I just played this game and it's freaking awesome!

Everything is great and the weapon balance is great! The graphics are awesome and I'm thinking that it looks better than Crysis.

I hope the PC version runs worse than the 360 version. Bwahaha.

The beta is cool, but just doesn't feel right. Nowhere near as fun as I thought it'd be :(

I feel the same, need more maps for the beta too, only 2 of the map selection is good. That one which is mostly indoors sucks cause everyone camps around corners and stuff.

[x-scratch]

they need a night time map for the beta because that nightvision is useless the best map is crash

[acies]

Played a few games, really awesome game looks great and plays smooth.. like butter!! But it's pretty damn hard to be good, I certainly need practice anywho. Though I wish the sensitivity was more customizable, medium is too slow, fast is a bit too fast.

Is it just me or are the pistols reeeeally underpowered. Also what are the full controls how do I knife?? throw a grenade back etc..??

[Eat68]

Knife is right thumbstick tap.

Return grenade is RB when the icon is up.

Pistols are fair.

[GNRambo]

I just got into the beta! :)

Is it just me or is there a lot of lag in some games? (It's probably my connection)

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

It's not just you. I'm experiencing lagg in some games too.

[+Mystic MVC]

I have noticed alot more lag especially when getting into games with gamers from other countries. I hope something is done about it so we can get back to where it was easy to get into games with friends without getting lagged out.

[Steve]

Yeah for sure mate. I wouldn't mind sticking the game back on now, but I know this is prime time for Americans, and i'll get spanked so hard by American host. It'll just annoy me...

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I am so getting this game when it comes out.

@Magik: That was good man. I look forward to fragging with you again. ;)

Yea, definitely man. Great fun, but you were def whooping ass. I'll need some more time with it to get up to your standards. :D

As far as the quality of the game is concerned, definitely top-notch. Truly fun multiplayer, really. If it wasn't for this Beta, I would have just rented it, did the SP Campaign and sent it back, but now that I have experienced the CoD4 multiplayer, I'll probably be picking this up sooner or later (Halo 3 has higher priority though, surprise) :p

For those just getting into it or don't really think it's that fun, definitely give it some time. Once you get used to things, the weapons, the maps, the perks system, etc you'll really start to appreciate the quality of the game. Good stuff. (Y)
