Call of duty - World at war Beta FAQs

We know you have a ton of questions about the upcoming CoD: WW Beta, so we put together a quick FAQ on the Xbox 360 Beta. Stay tuned, we're in the process of developing a much more in-depth FAQ on the PC and Xbox 360 Betas.

QUESTION: What is the CoD: WW Xbox 360 Beta?
ANSWER: Treyarch is recruiting dedicated Call of Duty fans of to help test Call of Duty: World at War's performance from a gameplay and backend standpoint. Feedback and performance data from this Beta will be instrumental in ensuring CoD: WW's success from Day One! This Beta will have a limited space so make sure you get your name in the hat to get a token!

QUESTION: Will there be a PS3 beta? If not, why?
ANSWER: No, there won't be a PS3 beta. The Xbox 360 and PC environments will provide the feedback that we need to make any back-end technical modifications to the co-op and multiplayer features, which means an optimized experience for everyone, independent of the console they own.

But thankfully there are 7 billion quality games coming out in October so I wouldn't have time for the Beta anyways. I still feel jilted...

[Overr8ed]

No PS3 Beta since we are already drowning in them. Socom Beta, LBP Beta, R2 Beta. Anymore reason why to have an other Beta?
BTW by the time the CoD5 beta is out the ps3 would be have a lot of AAA games.

Im busy with the LBP and soon the R2 Beta, but i cant sit back and lie and say i dont wanna play the COD: WW beta as well. Im curious to see how it plays for myself, the gameplay video's can only do so much..

[Lucas22]

hard choice this October, November for me

Far Cry 2

Resistance 2

Call of duty Waw

[outlawlife]

I kind of which beta's would stop. They might as well be called demo's now.

[Baka-akaB]

Because some devs needs to fake fixing and patching their game according to players feedbacks ..
And because an "access limited demo" gives more hype .

[TheIneffableBob]

More like marketing tools.

[Baka-akaB]

I dont even understand why even bother beta testing this ...
Activision too seems quite desesperate to appeal , cod always sold massively at its worst , and looks like that at worst COD5 will be like COD4 only with a setting that will put off and repulse some (like myself) ...

Why fake caring about disgruntled cod4 fans ? You know we'll be back with 6 , and will sell tons of cod5 whtaver you do ..

[meepmoopmeep]

it's clear that the PS3 does not require a beta because the developers know it's already the superior version.

all the bugs are only found on the PC and 360 versions, hence the beta.

:)

[jaysquared]

Or maybe its because how crappy PSN architecture is compared to XBL that's why Third party developers prefer having their beta there instead of PS3.. I mean if a first party developed game like Socom was having so much problems on PSN think if it was a third party developer. Even today the full version of COD4 for PS3 is still having problems on PSN.

[meepmoopmeep]

lmao. yup, yup, yup.

:)

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Have been disappointing me lately.

First the lack of support on call of duty 4, the lack of downloads, and the terrible online for the ps3.

And now no beta for the ps3.

I know that they are different companies, but I wish that they would go back to how Call of Duty 2 was, pretty good online, and fun gameplay.

[OOG]

meh online was perfectly fine on 360

[Crazywhitie]

They only beta 3rd party game on Xbox 360 because it's an Easier System, The PS3 is to complex... this is why all the game suck at first on PS3 because no beta testing they are just downgraded ports of the 360 ver. But if you happy with the lag that is Socom then I bet you can't wait for R2 Beta.. I just hope we don't have another warhawk at the launch of Socom...

[John_McCain]

QUESTION: Am I in this game?

If not, I should be! ;)

[Xelai]

Even a beta stirs controversy here, funny the criticism and funny the attitude of "if I dont have a beta, no worries, I didnt even want it."

puff...

[comm13]

A beta would give me a taste of the game, I guess I just won't get it at all.

[jacksonp]

it's a nice way to say that 360 and pc are the lead consoles,
not fair since cod4 played better ond ps3!

[DA_SHREDDER]

Dont even try to talk crap about this game. I bet you'll be playing this game more then anybody on this site.

[trancefreak]

lol i do feel burned by not getting a ps3 beta but life goes on + i cant even get a lil big planet key :(
