Call of Duty: World at War beta is now available for the public photo
     Xbox 360

If you're itching to get torn apart by digital dogs but don't have a beta key for Call of Duty: World at War, then fret not. As of today, the World at War beta is available to all with Xbox Live. 

Simply log on, head over to New Arrivals and it'll be there for the downloading. Then you merely need to sit back, relax and enjoy the thrills of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare ... BUT IN THE PAST! 

If you've not played World at War yet, check it out and let us know what you think.

Soory Jim but there is no Beta under my New Arrivals. May have to do with me being German though. Well I'll wait until the Major anounces anything.

@KanadianKain,

You just gave a compliment and a complaint.

Any news for PS3 Jim?

Yeah, its pretty much Cod 4 in WW2. Fun if you like the weapons, not so fun if you prefer modern times.

I will say i like the maps, they seem more interesting and well set out than most of Cod 4's. On the other hand, the controls dont flow quite as well (on pc); game often seems to like staying in sprint mode instead of doing what i tell it (aim, croutch, sometimes even just stop).

At first I thought this was basically a new map pack for cod4 but then remembered there is a campaign with coop(finally) to be played too. Plus you cant beat Kiether Sutherland's voice overs!

I've been in the Beta for a week and a half now....and this game is awesome. It's COD4, but with better graphics, MORE and better perks. MORE and crazier attatchments, from Bayonets to Bipods. Gas is better than Stun, bouncing bettys are better than claymores.

If you enjoyed COD4, but started to get a little boredo of the same old maps. PICK THIS UP! You won't be dissapointed.

It plays the same, but with a whole new twist. I think we ALL NEED TO SAY KUDOS TO TREYARCH. I havnt been able to stop playing this beta. It's only 3 maps, but they're all great. (Castle is BEAUTIFUL, Roundhouse is awesome, and Makin is a dark gritty badass map)

Hope to see you online so I can hand you boys a woopin(had to do it). Sylvan Knoll is the tag

Yay another WW2 shooter. I honestly could not care less about this. That war has been so over done in videogames, I just can't make myself want to revisit it again, no matter what engine it's running on or how 'awesome' the flame thrower is.
