So you know how everyone keeps assuming that Modern Warfare 2 is going to get a public beta? Well, it's definitely, probably, maybe not ever going to happen, according to Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling. "We'll do an internal beta, if we feel a public one is needed, we'll explore that route as well."
"We would never say something as definitive as 'No Beta Ever!'," says Mr. Bowling. For the time being, unless you work at Activision or IW itself, no dice -- you'll have to wait until November 10 like the rest of us lowly scum to play some Call of Duty. Unless of course you happen to be 50 Cent, Will Arnett, Dane Cook, or any other celebrity that wants to stop by.
If there's one game that people truly need to be sold on, it sure isn't Modern Warfare 2. I can see why Infinity Ward would rather save its time and energy for something other than cranking out a public beta.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I kinda feel the same way. You can thank Halo 3 for that one sir.
Do you just wait until they go on sale?
Maybe he thinks you have to spend the money for the collectors edition? Or perhaps he lives in Europe? Didn't they jack the European price up to like 80 (Quid, Euro, or whatever) over there?
"Hay, we are making another game off pretty much all the same components. Why Public beta?"
Just bug test the thing before shipment, good lords. I know I'm the minority on this, but when/if I do get this game, I want the SP to work.
I was pretty irritated with a bug on Eviction (in WaW) that I put the game on the shelf for a few months and just replayed it this week.
Broken single player = Quite mad and feeling ripped off. Being forced to replay an entire level, because of a bug @ the end of the level is pretty condemning, to me anyways.
But hey, if anyone knows what they are doing it's IW.
