Not surprisingly, the PC beta for Call of Duty: World at War is going to be very easy to get into, so I better not hear any stories about how you bought a key for $80 on eBay like I've been hearing from people in the Xbox 360 beta. Sadly, I'm not joking.
Firstly, if you pre-order the WWII shooter at GameStop, you are guaranteed a code. But because pre-ordering is for suckers, you can also nab a key by signing up here, even after the beta has commenced.
Interestingly enough, the PC version of World at War will contain Xbox LIVE-esque friends functionality which will require that your online profile is attached to a CD key and is also an obvious attempt at cracking down on piracy. Can you blame 'em?
For additional information on the PC beta, head on over to WaW's official site.

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

How is that surprising?
Because the same dev making COD5 made COD3 and that wasn't on the PC.
It would be even extra retarded for COD5 not to be considering they're using the COD4 engine though, since the effort to port that to Windows is already done and ready.
Call of duty 4 was an avrage unimpressive PC game, and call of duty 2 and 3 sucked.
Not going to bother with this.
