Charlie Oscar Delta, the official web page for the highly anticipated
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has info on the upcoming beta. The
beta page (only viewable to registered members) says that sign-ups for the beta "will come sooner than you think", but until then we'll just have to check out the details and wait patiently.
After you sign up (you haven't done that yet?) you'll get the lowdown on how the whole thing will work, including how to start a game, gameplay controls, in-depth details on the weapons, game modes, maps and much more. It's like they are teasing us on purpose!
After eyeballing the information they've laid out, you'll probably be chomping at the bit to get into the public beta. We totally understand. From Charlie Oscar Delta:
Don't worry, we'll give you plenty of warning. Look for an update here in BETA headquarters. We'll also throw an announcement into SITREP and add a countdown clock on our homepage.
To be eligible for a token-you must be 18 years of age or older, punctual and capable of answering three trivia questions correctly. Yes, punctual. To be fair, we're doling out the tokens on a first come first serve basis. We're still finalizing plans for where the Beta will be available. Initially, in order to get underway we'll be rolling-out in the United States. As soon as we're able to confirm which other countries are good to go we'll be back to update everybody.
As an extra bonus, check out
this video showing stealth kills in action in
Call of Duty 4. Fun! Hurry up with that beta, guys!

Real life doesn't have hit points. The kills are more or less spot on.
I don't think it will make a big impact. Counter Strike: Source has the same thing (stab from behind is an instant kill), yet I hardly see it at all.
