I'd love to get it for PC, but apparently the beta for PC isn't out yet. Moved my account over, completed a few of their junky 'missions' and got some points. Not going to pre-order, but think it'll be something I'm getting for Christmas.

All you have to do is sign up on callofduty.com or migrate your charlieoscardelta account if you had one and hope you get an e-mail. Or just pre-order at Gamestop and you get it for sure.

Hmm, eurogamer.com isn't loading right now.

The computers that run eurogamer.com are having some trouble. Usually this is just a temporary problem, so you might want to try again in a few minutes.

Well, looks like they're down anyway =X

Got my account updated to VIP status finally, they say it should take less than 24 hours to get the beta.

I got VIP Member =]
you can really tell its built on the COD4 Engine

Just some thoughts for those not in on it yet:

-Plays exactly like COD4, even has the exact same perks and benefits for getting kill streaks.

-Graphics look worse IMHO, purely cause the art style isn't as dark and grey as COD4.

-Voice acting (baring in mind this is multiplayer not single player) blows, why the hell do they shout.

-No idea about vehicles, don't think there in the beta.

- Somehow they've made the shotgun even more **** ridicules long range.

Yeah don't expect anything new tbh, couple new perks that don't add much so far.

edit:

I'm a liar. Theres a tank apparently, not seen it myself. And the kill streaks are the same with different names except for the helicopter, that's been replaced with a dog..no idea how powerful it is.

edit additional thoughts:

-Tanks annoying to kill
-dogs are more annoying than helicopters think COD4 dogs but in multiplayer and they seem to kill you faster.
-The air strike (no idea what it's called in this, isn't an air strike but it's the same thing effectively) in this, from what i can tell you have no idea where it's going to be landing so you just get blown to ****.
- Spawn camping is worse.
- Camping is worse.
- All the ****** in COD4 that stuck to SMG classes are back and oh joy the range on the thing seems to have been increased combo that with no assault rifles and just crappy one shot guns that take a few body shots to kill with and you get everyone using SMG guns cause nothing can beat them. SUPPERR.

Multiplayer sucks, campaign better be top notch or I'll stick to Gears 2.

Finally got it, downloading it now

Wow Creepy, you really hate it...

Got my key today and I played it for like 4 hours. It's essentially the same game, just with new weapons, levels, and some tweaks. Which is a good thing, since COD4 was so good. Finally got a scope for the 2nd bolt action so now I can 1 hit people. I heard a lot of people complaining that it takes two shots to kill people with bolt actions and iron sights, but it really isn't that hard if you have a little aim.

Also, I'm loving the Type 99 right now, just got a bipod for it.

Oh, and I also heard a ton of people saying that pistols were useless now but I'm getting a hell of a lot of kills with my pistol.

I have an extra beta key so if anyone wants it just PM me.

I'd really like that BETA key, please. I really want to play in the BETA.

EDIT: Thanks for the beta key. You're a lifesaver.
