Call of Duty 4 beta registration still broke. Infinity Ward fixing. 24-hour open registration announced.

Submitted by rapture on Mon, 08/27/2007 - 5:43pm.

Tried going to http://charlieoscardelta.com lately? You may have gone there to register for the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer beta. While a few of you were lucky enough to get in, the rest of us have been stuck with error page after error page.

Today a first-come first-server registration for the CoD4 beta was supposed to take place. The CoD.com web server crashed.

The outcome. Infinity Ward is doing away with the first-come first-server beta registration. Instead, they are going to keep it open for 24-hours. It seems like anybody that wants to can register for the beta. However, it appears that there is still a lottery for selection.

So, keep checking http://charlieoscardelta.com for the beta registration page and you'll be good to go.

So this means that everyone who signs up in 24 hours has an equal chance of being accepted into the beta, not that everyone who signs up will get the beta.

Odd. I didn't get anything in the mail. Guess I wouldn't be playing it. :/

The registration is still broke. I never got confirmation emails to several accounts. I quit fooling with it.

Besides, if I wanted to play a modern war fighting game, I'd play America's Army, BF, or Ghost Recon.

If you signed up for the beta yesterday (I did), you're in.

"If you signed up for the second wave of entry into the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer beta then boy oh boy do we have got great news for you.

As planned, Infinity Ward closed down the extended entry into the CoD 4 beta last night and prepared to send out entry tokens to a select random few. But soon after the sign up closed down we were informed of their new beta plans. Over on Fourzerotwo's blog he announced that, in an effort to apologize to the community for the last few days of craziness, Infinity Ward will be awarding CoD 4 multiplayer beta tokens to EVERY person who signed up. That's right, if you signed up for entry into the beta you are guaranteed a beta download token. Heck, your token could be sitting in your inbox right now. Fourzerotwo says that they'll be sending out beta tokens throughout the next few days, staggering the emails out a little bit so they can slowly ramp up the amount of beta participants. So, if you signed up and still haven't received your beta token, just be patient. You'll get it soon'ish. Oh, and Infinity Ward, we just want to say that you guys rock!"

Don't worry, Midnight, I'm sure it's on its way. I was beginning to doubt this myself, but this morning I checked my inbox and the beta key was there!

Call of Duty 4's multiplayer is fun, and I'm really enjoying the Perks feature. I'm glad they made the RPG into a perk instead of its own class.
