    Ahh, still don't have one, I wish they would just open this up until the release date...

    I mean, so many people have them at this stage, its just a pain in the rectal cavity for the few, that callofduty.com haven't been so kind to, or who missed the one hour eurogamer window :(

    They've only given out probably about 40,000 altogether. It's only for testing, so if they made it a full release to everyone the servers wouldn't handle it! if you were a true fan you should already have a key

    I'd like them to open it up, but they aren't going to. They are creating hype, everyone wants a key, you always want what you can't have, etc, etc. It's just a pain in the arse for everyone who hasn't got one at this stage, hearing about people chatting about it and having every forum/thread littered with "give me a key plz" requests...The reason you supply is bollocks though. So, what are they going to do in a few weeks when the real version is released? Is everything going to keel over and die? It would mean setting up their servers a little earlier (if they haven't done so already)

    That comment gave me a good laugh....Randomly selecting people from callofduty.com is selecting "true fans". Jesus, thats very strange, as one guy has received a key who has only played any COD on Xbox Live for about 10 hours. They must have telepathically known that he played hundreds of hours of COD over a LAN in college. Amazing that.

    don't be getting the hump just cuz your being left out, all i'm saying is that if you really did want a key you could have gotten one. eurogamer gave away 20,000 the other day.

    and now for a quick review; the game is amazing, can't wait to get home and play it til my fingers bleed

    Well call me captain obvious, but saying that I'd like them to open it up like a normal demo is a pretty fair comment as its a pain for whoever didn't have one. If stating the obvious constitutes having "the hump", or your "hump", or "humping" anyone then good for you.

    Lets do some simple maths:

    I missed the random 60 mins that they were available for as I was driving
    PLUS
    Not being randomly selected from cod.com
    PLUS
    Not having enough money to preorder from the place giving away beta keys for online orders
    EQUALS
    OMGZ, I'M NOT A 'TRUE FAN'

    Logic, I haz it. Although, if there is another way of acquiring one, I'd be happy to find it out :)

    Well if you give me the key ill be happy to test it for you:p
    Ah I am not sure. I think i read somewhere that you get one code. then you've to go on another site and with that code, generate a new code again. but you probably have already done that no?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,463 ✭✭✭shinzon


    nope got the code through callofduty.com, so is there another place I need to generate a new code from, just says to redeem code at the marketplace

    and thats what i get when i try redeem it

    Xbox Live probably thinks you're not a true fan of the game, hence you're not worthy of the Beta.

    I know its obvious but just double check you took the code down right, its quite easy to miss a letter or whatever. if that doesn't work i'll ask one of the lads later if there's any spare. a lot of em have ps3's but might have gotten one & are not able to use it. will pm u if i do

    The game is far from amazing. Another re-hash from a joke of a studio. Infinity Ward need to get sole development rights for this series before Treyarch fùck it up even more.

    Jesus I could not be ARSED even bothering with this. What the **** are they playing at releasing the same game over and over. WW2 must be the most raped war in terms of video game cliches.
    Why don't they make a game set during WW1 or the vietnam war etc etc
    I completely agree that treyarch should piss off for themselves

    World War 1? Really old crap weapons perhaps...no fun.

    I'd really doubt that a big franchise like COD would go into a war where the Americans actually lose the war.

    Just played it there and I'm very underwhelmed. I'm not sure the graphics are a step forward, maybe a step backwards if anything. Your gun and hands, etc ect look the exact same as COD3.

    Players look very funny when they are running.

    The weapons aren't as good as 4 (although, its to be expected).

    The dogs look like 2D cardboard cutouts.

    Its doesn't seem to be as good as COD4. Not by a long shot....

    These developers aren't in the same league.... :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 78 ✭✭dublander


    i really like it. i wasn't looking for Cod 4 (II), thats Cod 6! i was looking for something a bit different for the moment and cod5 is that game. remember that its just the beta version so it's not the finished article. there's also loads more perks, weapons etc to unlock. of course i still love cod4 also though so reckon ill still play both


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,132 ✭✭✭silvine


    Don't forget this is a beta so they have time to fix some of the minor issues such as the rendering of the dogs. It plays like a mod though.

    So why should we be subjected to a sub-standard COD5?
    dublander wrote: »

    When I buy a COD, I expect it to be a COD, not a stop-gap for a year.

    This is true, but from a beta version, things only get fine tuned, what they need is a overhaul of their movement, how they are rendered. I doubt they'll have it fixed up to a much better standard. Beta to gold are just tweaks.

    But maybe I was a little too harsh at first, I've played it again today and I enjoyed it a bit more. I still think COD4 is better though. Each iteration should be an improvement in some form or shape, not a side-step. Otherwise there isn't much point in paying more money. I still think its good, but it could be so much better is what I'm really saying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,789 ✭✭✭grizzly


    For the people that have played both games, is it as much fun as CoD3?

    How are people getting these spare keys lol?

    I cant sign up to callofduty.com, keeps saying error.activision.userNAMEtaken... But my username is not being taken and ive tried loads of different ones, ive tried on IE and FF, no luck.

    So if anybody does have a spare key, or any help on my problem, you would be a great help.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭Carroller


    Can anyone explain the whole dealio with the beta codes.
    I pre-ordered the game in hope of getting the code.
    The shop assistant tells me that the demos "have not arrived yet", i think wha??? its a code i need, so i go back in and say its a code that i need to be downloaded off xbox marketplace...now they say "Demo is not available in Ireland"....So i think to myself this is BULL considering mates on xbox live have the beta.


    So here i am...pissed that i cant play the beta...anyone shed any light on what the situation is with the beta codeS?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29 MattE

    as for the beta codes Carroller, i'm in the same boat as you, pre-ordered from game but never got one, not really bothered though, only have to wait 3 weeks or so for the full game!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 358 ✭✭sparky360

    Amen to that.

    Anyone who can provide me with a key. I will return a favour. An actual favour not a bull**** one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 358 ✭✭sparky360


    I see your offer of an actual favour and raise it to an actual sexual favour! :)

    just received an email with a code from callofduty.com, it says "You will have until October 19th to click the code below and claim your token before it expires!". if only they had sent it before the 19th.
