Call of Duty 4: Modern Flame Warfare?
Catalyst | 10:57 AM on 09.04.2007 8 comments


For those of us in the beta who have actually given, you know, "feedback" on the game, we have been subjected to what is quickly becoming one of the worst forums on all the intertoobs.

After Infinity Ward completely screwed up their beta token release, then "corrected" the problem with a random drawing instead of a race to hit the refresh button, they discovered that people on the internet are liars. No joke. L.I.A.R.S.

Why? Because the beta was supposed to be U.S. only, but some intrepid Euros found out that they could simply register for it anyway, honor system be damned. Now, the American folks who could not get into the beta are blaming the European folks for stealing their tokens, and neither group is arguing with much tact in the poorly regulated nightmare that is the Call of Duty 4 Message Board.

Hop on over to read some great threads about the attitudes of American gamers (11 pages of fun!), why the British suck, but at least they aren't French, and just exterminating the whole lot of them.

Bonus points for finding and reading the poll question about whether or not you "go Ayo for Yayo."

I was online trying to have a bit of fun you know, shooting people in the head, and I had to turn my headset off because some asinine n00b was spouting off racial slurs against a foreign player (god knows where from, sounded Russian, which I found quite ironic) and basically being a dumb ass. I really don't care if foreign players get into the beta. I have heard that everyone will get their token eventually, and as long as the CoD team is getting their multiplayer perfected, who am I to complain? And even if people don't like Europeans or others in the beta, there is no need to be such a flamer about it. Hating on British just cause they got into the beta is a terrible idea. If they're French, well, they're fair game whether they're in the beta or not.

The whole thing is hilarious. And why so much hate btw? most foreign players suck at the game anyways.

Beta is fun aside from all the people that complain online. Hahaha.

I just hate that there are going to be so many douchebags who've had enough time to play that I'll never catch up. I guess that's the internet for you

You should have plenty of time to catch up. It takes literally two hours to get to the current level cap. The only things that take some time are the challenges, but most of them are simply cosmetic, or give you a different scope you will usually end up not using.
