Call of Duty: World at War PC Beta: It's On

Added by Jeff on Oct. 28, 2008 21 comments

Burning dudes: A World War II tradition.

Treyarch and Activision are running a beta for Call of Duty: World at War on the Xbox 360. It's been going on for a bit now, and seems primarily designed to confirm that the game's multiplayer is rad in many of the same ways as its predecessor.

Now the radness test is moving over to the PC, but there's actually some new stuff that is probably in need of beta testing in the form of friends lists and other stuff that PC games don't always have?

If you want to help "test" it out, the official Call of Duty site will trade you a download and a beta-ready CD key for the price of your contact information and, I'm guessing, the right to e-mail about all sorts of fun COD- and Activision-related products.

I got a 360 beta code as well, but gave it away because I don't have a 360 at the moment. I do however have a PC and will be getting in on this asap.

I don't know whether I should take the time to download this beta. I haven't heard that many good things about it...

Be fore-warned, you have to update your DirectX9 or it won't play. You may also need to download some windows .dll. The game itself is only "rad" in the slacker-generation-X-lazy-ironic-sense.

It's CoD2.5 with annoying dogs and gun-balance issues.
