The codes for the Xbox 360 BETA are supposed to be limited too I guess...but a buddy of mine said he got some of them somehow...something about entering a bogus prerelease code, and getting back a valid BETA participation code...anywhoo, he gave me one, and, if you think that the CoD4 multiplayer gameplay, including the perks system, and the n00b-hammers (UAV, heli, air strikes) were cool, then you'll be down with this one. Personally I think they should have called it CoD4:2, or CoD4 WWII or something, because it looks like the same game in period drag.

Me, I detest both the perks system and the n00b-hammers (I call them that because if you're good enough to earn them, you should probably be winning anyway, so why do you need them, except to hammer on some hapless n00bs who were going to lose anyway, btw, in CoD5 they are a recon plane, a pack of attack dogs (kinda cool I admit, esp. the kill cam), and artillery) so this one is another big whiff (as in the sound a golf club makes as it fails to make contact with the ball) in the multiplayer department for me.

However, it does look very nice, and the levels seem well-designed, and very natural (no invisible walls and suchlike). I am looking forward to playing the single player on a high difficulty setting, thence to return it to the rental place, and deny countless invites to multi...pretty much what I did with CoD4.
