Just Curious if anyone else is in the Beta because I haven't seen anyone talking about it. I think it should be interesting to see the strategies people develop since now you can enter a building from anywhere, also to see how the level design holds up since you have the ability to take out geometry. Plus it was developed to be a console game so I think the frame rate and controls should be tight. Let me know what you guys think, and if your in it.

If you haven't yet begged, borrowed, or stolen a token to download the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Multiplayer Beta then you really should, because it's probably the most entertaining demo/beta I've ever downloaded from XBL. Yes, the Halo 3 Beta was good, but without a friends and family invitation it required a $60 purchase of the retail version (Crackdown), and COD4 is absolutely free if you are capable of using the internet and following directions. What makes the fun of COD4 even more surprising is that nobody was expecting it! Who had a date marked on the calendar for the COD4 Beta release? Not me. I buy the COD games mostly for their campaigns, but since COD3 busted I haven't loaned any credence to the franchise's multiplayer experience. COD4 changed that...in a big way.

Gamespot is giving away 100,000 Call of Duty 4 beta codes (20,000 a day until Friday) on a first come first serve basis. THX Hubcap and I just got beta codes.

1. Go to this link http://www.gamespot.com/event/codes/call-of-duty-4/.
2. Make a Gamespot account or sign in if you have an account.
3. Link your XBOX Live gamertag
4. Hit submit. If they still have codes a page should load and show you the beta code.

I don't know how long this offer will last.

The following article contains pictures, albeit fuzzy pictures, of gameplay from Halo 3 Epsilon. This includes multiplayer in-game shots, menu shots, and shots from one level of the campaign. If you do not wish to see them then go no further. Furthermore, THX and its staff did not participate in their procurement, nor do we condone the method in which they were procured. If you’re still with me, click ‘read more.’

I finally got an email today letting me know I could enter a token code to get into the beta. After playing around 6-7 games I can say in all honesty that I hope Halo 3 will be bringing it and I mean bringing everything its got. CoD4 is the real multiplayer deal...Just by spending 30 minutes playing I would assume that H3's game of the year honors have a hardcore challenger. Regardless who comes away with it, one thing is for certain...Us as gamers are in for a multiplayer treat this fall.

So did anyone else get in, or will anyone from hushed casket be playing? I went on vacation and didn't know I had an early invite. I played when I got home pretty much all day I got to say I am really enjoying it. It is so smooth and looks awesome at 60fps, I love the graphics, but the sound is where it is at. Anyway let me know guys!

Cheers!

I got my beta key for the Quake Wars beta just now. I'm currently downloading the beta from Fileplanet. More later.

Not that I'm going to give up Shadowrun or anything...
