[360] CoD5 Beta

So, as im sitting on my computer last night, I suddenly see a little box pop up at the bottom of my screen saying I got an e-mail from the Call of Duty website. I'm thinking to mysel, "Oh yeah... I signed up on the website to look at screenshots like.... three months ago..."
I open the e-mail, and was shocked to see the words "Multiplayer Beta Invitation"

So, just wondering if anyone else here has the beta?
It seems pretty cool... Graphics are a LOT better; but its basicly CoD4 with different guns.
And instead of a hellicopter at a 7 killstreak, you unleash a pack of dogs.
And it's freaky as hell. They are badass and survive a shotgun blast to the head.
3 of them pushed me into a corner and mauled me... :cry:

Wow, you're pretty lucky. I didn't get anything of the sort, but the game sounds pretty damn fun.

omgomgomgmogomgmogomgmogmog. Why didn't I get an invite?

I have no idea...
Although I was told ingame by someone that they are going to be mailing more invitations soon.
I don't know if thats true or not... But I think so; when I was playing there was only just over 2400 people online.

invites seem to be purely random emails. Just keep hoping you'll get one? I am.

I'm hoping. I really want to try this. It sucks though, I had to register a new account on CoD.com because my account from ABC.com doesn't work on cod.com. So now I look noobish when I post "joined 20 minutes ago"

dang, haven't gotten one yet

Heres a copy/paste of the email,

How big is the download?

The download is just above 800mb

Its 3 levels, and a few multiplayer modes:
War, Team Deathmatch, Free for all, and 2 other variations of TD/FFA

I'm getting mine on Friday! :D
Is it good?

I like it.
But as I said, it's basicly CoD4, with a new game type, new weapons, better graphics, and some different perks.
Max level in the beta is 11, and I dont know if there is mini-prestige or not.
But theres the class-creator (at level 4)
As well as some challenges.

Similar to the CoD4 beta then.
Whats the perks / guns like?
I hear they're rather awesome.

They are pretty cool.
Although juggernaught is... nasty.
Some of the gun mods are... strange.
You can get what looks like a Reflex sight ( "red dot sight")
Theres some sort of medic perk... Where when someone is in last stand, you can heal them.
Theres still stopping power, deep impact, etc.
Some of the special grenades are cool.
Theres flares (kinda like a flash bang)
These weird gas grenades (screws up vision MASSIVELY and SERIOUSLY lowers movement speed/aiming speed)
