Call of Duty: World at War Beta

October, beyotches.

LINK

when does the final game come out? bah i dont really care about it. even with Jack bauer.

November 11th... beyotch.

With that kind of time frame I guess it's just a stress test for the servers...?  Can't change much in a matter of weeks.

I don't pretend to know anything about how this sort of thing works, but wouldn't they be able to correct bugs, and patch the game with beta fixes the first time you sign into Live with it?

This would be much more a test for serverside stuff.  They probalby won't make any changes to the actual game, and if they did it would probably come as a very small download patch.  
It is also a big marketing thing.

November 11th in the US and the rest of the world has to wait...again, what a surprise. I just hope they sort out some of the crap that is starting to ruin CoD 4

November 11th is probably not the most judicious launch date for a war game in Europe.

I can't decide if that's sorta classy, or kind of disrespectful.

The rest of the world matters when it comes to FPS sales?

And whats starting to ruin CoD4?

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

The kids switching over from Halo?

The ropey kill cam and the damn cheats using glitches. seriously get rid of that crap and make it more of an even playing field.

I can't decide if that's sorta classy, or kind of disrespectful.

It doesn't matter, no one who served in WWII knows what COD5 is.  Shit, most of them aren't even alive, so it becomes a moot point.  You can't disrespect the dead.

And whats starting to ruin CoD4?

The maps, and lack of new playlists. One of these will be fixed soon, and the other isn't looking good.

Small sacrifices made from switching over to a 2-year 2-developer business model I suppose.

Hey soon enough we get to play 4 player co op killing japs with flame throwers and katanas, whats not to love?

Whats killing COD4 is that its been out for awhile and its start to get stagnant, I'll prolly play it until the beta comes out though.

I'd love to see some new maps for CoD4, but they probably won't as it would rain on World at Wars launch.

Everyone's going on about playing the Pacific War in the new game will be different, but I wonder how the Russian campaign will look as that is more traditional CoD fare.

Supposedly in the October issue of Gamepro mag there is a lot of info on perks and stuff for multiplayer. Trying to find a reference and will post.

Whats not to love? A shitty dev, shitty WWII weapons, etc.

Well it looks alright so far and just because one game they made was bad doesn't mean they all will be bad.  Also some of us like the WWII weapons, so yeah. ;)

Any game will look like shit when you only have eight months to develop it.

Eight months? The game has been finished since at least August, so time must not be holding them back too much. Plus, aren't they using the same engine and multiplayer system as COD4?

COD 2008

I was talking about 3, but yes, they're using the CoD4 Engine. I don't think they're using the same framework for multiplayer, just similar elements.

Actually Eddie according to a podcast between Major Nelson and some dude at treyarc they are using the multiplayer system from COD4 because they "just love it so much", or maybe it worked and they are lazy. ;D

However this game turns out it should atleast be fun to mess about in co-op and make fun of how bad it is, plus it has flame throwers :D

Weapons with Iron sights are fucking stupid in 4, and thats all you get in WaW. The WWII setting is overdone, Treyarch is a mediocre dev on their best day. Need any more reasons to not buy this game?

WWII games are the new Madden.  I think that's what Loco was gettin' at.
