Day-1 Servers for the PC Multiplayer BETA!We are pleased to announce that in anticipation of the high demand for game servers day-1 of the PC Multiplayer BETA, we’ve joined forces with GameServers to provide a fleet of dedicated servers to be standing and at the ready the day-of the PC BETA release!

GameServers will have servers all around the globe for players to enjoy. Everyone should be able to find servers with great pings with the coverage we’ll have!

For anyone else interested in hosting servers, when the BETA is made available to the world to download, you can upload the files to your datacenters and run as many dedicated servers as you’d like. Hosting a CoD:WW server will not be too dissimilar to running a Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare server. Note that for the BETA, the servers will be Windows only. Linux servers will be available for the retail game.

We want to have as smooth of a day-1 kickoff as possible, and we hope that our combined forces will provide just that!

I have just this second signed up to callofduty.com I can't wait for cod5.

Has everyone else signed up?

Don't want to leave anyone behind!!

It's looking good!!

I've been playing the X360 version for a few hours last night. It runs at a rock solid 60fps on the console, so does imply there are no further hardwaree requirements than that for Cod 4.

The maps available are quite small, but with loads of cover. The texure quality, etc, may be the same a cod4, but the maps do seem more 'busy' and atmospheric.

The realy good news is the gametypes included. Capture the flag is well and truly there. There is also my second favourite that is used in day of defeat. It's one that can be played 1 on 1 or 20 on 20. It's like domination but you fight for one area at a time, pushing the enemy back.

I can't tell you what the controls are like as I am so bloody crap with a X360 controller, but everything seems to be there.

The vehicles in on the one map do seem a little penned in to certain areas. This was the bid issue with cod3. It makes them all but redundadnt, and after the novelty value, probably won't be used that much. I am hoping this was a map specific problem. I would love some big open maps to go tank scrapping in.

All in all, I am now pissing myself with excitement!!

Bring on the beta

Game now have the collectors edition available for pre-order. However, it's 49.99 . The standard game is £29.99.

Just a small side note.

Rackage now have the Servers on Pre Order, like COD4 its 80p per slot with the same amount of Team Speak slots thrown in.

So for a 10 slot server for 12 months minus discount is £96.00, which is £8 a month. Best discuss this in the Clan section but i thought i would tag it on here...

I think the £20 extra for a hip flask i will never use & double points for the first week is value for money errr... not.
