3. Leave Controller 2 signed out
4. With Controller 1, go to 'Account Management' under the Marketplace Blade then 'Download History'
5. With Controller 2, press the Guide Button then A to access profiles
6. With Controller 1, select YOUR account and sign in
7. Now press the center XBox guide button on controller 1 and SIGN OUT and press B to close the tab
8. Select the COD4 Beta onscreen using Controller 2, then press 'Confirm Download'
9. The Beta will now download with YOUR account and once done, will work with your account

It works. I'm downloading it now on my GT :D:D

[nzjeebs]

oh...im getting it for pc >.< you guys all getting it for xbox?

[Slim]

Yea will probably buy it if the multi-player takes off a bit. I'm also buying Crysis and perhaps Bio-Shock... maybe...

[Hazard]

oh...im getting it for pc >.< you guys all getting it for xbox?

I'll be getting it on PC. Not a fan of FPS on the XBOX, I'm too noob

[SittingDuck]

ME FFS, Better be as good as COD1 and 2 :D

In a 20th Century kinda way :P

[Alexo256]

It's awesome. I just played it, it still has that COD feel, but with modern weapons and settings.

[nick247]

will be getting it for pc

[switch.]

+1 for buying PC version.


looks like the most promising fps game coming out in the near future.

[noob_pwnerer]

ill purchase it, assuming that iconz are going to host servers? anyone know if any others will provide servers within NZ?

[Xt1ncT]

When is it out?

[Hazard]

November 5th at this stage

[Kopfjaeger]

No vehicles, correct ?? FAIL

[Hazard]

That is correct, there are no vehicles - but if you read te reasons why, and look at how good the game play looks, etc - you'll see it's not fail at all.

With all the big games coming out towards the end of the year / early next year - this is without a doubt the one I am looking forward to the most for multiplayer. And I'm someone that loves vehicles in games.

[Spork]

No J-10? I'm out.. Stuff that.

Nah I'm getting this fo sho.

[SLAYER!@#]

I've been watching all the HD video's at gametrailers.com, this game looks awesome! I'll be buying it for sure.

[nzjeebs]

Thats whats stopping me from pre-ordering crysis etc. Crytek's previous games havnt been a multiplayer hit like activisions have (not that cod2 was amazing popular...but was moreso than farcry)

[Tiddles]

Im in it for the SP side of things.
Never did like the CoD multiplayer, mainly coz I sucked lol

[3N][X]

been waiting since cod2. hopefully nz will have a strong multiplayer base :)

[swindle]

No vehicles, correct ?? FAIL
Judging a game without looking at it or finding out information as to why things have been included/excluded = EPIC FAIL.

[3N][X]

cod2 was pretty mint that had no vehicles. just a shame you had to play aus servers to get a decent game :(

[Snake_Daddy]

im so getting it. After watching the vids i got all excited

[GhostOfGallipoli]

ill purchase it, assuming that iconz are going to host servers? anyone know if any others will provide servers within NZ?

i just checked, you're not allowed due to excess red squares

[Alexo256]

Ok here are my impressions:

The game is fucking awesome!

You can create your own kits and choose any weapon you want (provided you have it unlocked) and customize it. There are abilities you can unlock as well, such as increased length of sprint, being able to take more damage and having better hip fire accuracy. Also, if you get a 3 kill streak, you will be able to call in a UAV for your team, 6 gets you an air strike and 9 (I think) Never had one cause of American servers :( gets you a helicopter controlled by AI that has missiles and a machine gun, it's pretty easy to take down but you can get tons of kills with it.

The RPG is available for the Demolition class and you can also get it with any weapon in the kit customization menu. You can have up to 6(?) custom kits i think, each one you can have whatever you want, they are not restricted AT ALL, provided you have it unlocked. Grenades are also customizable, you can choose between Smoke, flashbang and Stun grenades. I'm currently using an AK 47 with an RPG and Smoke grenades.

COD4 still retains that COD feel, but with modern weaponry and equipment. It is a MUST BUY for Xbox 360 and PC Users. The graphics are awesome as well, with superb lighting and weapon skins.

[Marak2.0]

yeah looks pretty awesome. sux how the players will b split between xbox and pc, pc 4 life yo!!

[Kopfjaeger]

awwww really :knife: I just cancelled my pre-order for ET:QW after playing the demo, so with that lesson learned i guess i'll have a crack at the COD4 demo and then decide whether to purchase or not.

[greyghostnz21]

I'll probably get it being a hard out cod2 playa

[Tiddles]

I loved CoD:UO for the vehicle side of things. The damages were correct that a shot up the bum bum, would knock you out etc.
Would like to see it back again!!

[Fubar]

Whens the release date?

According to EB Games (cancelled my QW:ET Preorder) today Xbox is November and PC in January 08?

[switch.]

gamesman.co.nz has the PC release date as mid november.

[bobziolla]

i might buy it.

[Lyesalot]

I'll be buying it. I'm pretty confident this will be my kind of game and I will play it for endless hours. pre order for me if I can

[elemunk]

Cod4 is the next WCG game!

[switch.]

Cod4 is the next WCG game!

Not one single bad review.

[SirGrimNZ]

I'll be downloading the single player pc demo this Friday,but i will also be buying Cod4 for xbxo 360 next month.

[Kopfjaeger]

local mirrors ??

[ubernuber]

Ill play the demo first but im 95&#37; sure ill pre-order it. Looks right up my alley. Would be cool if PC/Xbox players could play each other.. Any games coming up which cross platforms like that?

[switch.]

that wouldnt work, pc players would have a massive advantage over xbox players. they would have to dumb down the controls or something which would ruin the game for PC.

[Prime-522]

im geeting my copy 4 the 360 but will probley end up geeting it for the pc aswell gonna set me back a bit... but game looks worth it.

[Deviant]

who in there right mind played FPS on consoles....you cant friggin aim

[`Dirty Heathen]

Pre ordered mine yesterday only $85 from GP with free shipping.

[Deviant]

yea ima pre-order...seems like a mint as game... i go behind this little blue car for cover. poke my head up start shooting all the arabs...we have finally kill all the arabs. so i come out from behind the nice blue car to find a flaming burned up crushed wreck with all its engine strewn across the ground....so awesomely realistic lol...buy buy buy.

Edit: sweet got crysis and cod4 ready and waiting. now i just need to pay the $184 :(

[-CowwieStyle-]

Can xbox users use keyboards and mice?, i can imagine if they could they would have to keep the xbox joypad users separate from the xbox users using keyboards and mice, keyboards and mice are way superior for playing fps's vs joypads and kludges like auto aim(gag).

[-CowwieStyle-]

who in there right mind played FPS on consoles....you cant friggin aim

You can with aimbots cough cough i mean with auto aim turned on :chuckle: .

[ThaFleastyler]

I'll definitely be getting this game at some point.
Not sure when though.

[Prime-522]

who in there right mind played FPS on consoles....you cant friggin aim

you get use 2 it just like new player build on flying skills with jets and slicks on bf2 its somthing that comes with time i suppose coz i got ust 2 it..

[SirGrimNZ]

Pc players complain about consoles and fps only because there not used to it.Once you get ur aim in it's no problem,it's really just like a small mouse,kinda.Also if you want yu can use an adapter to plug in a keyboard and mouse into the 360

[Mogno]

Thinking very long and hard about this one. I'm considering preordering when i get some monies.

[switch.]

pre-ordering my copy today.

[nick247]

ditto, plus getting uni sorted so im ready for release

[Slim]

Pre Ordered. The Demo, despite being so small, I just play it over and over again. If I get this sort of replayability with the full version I'll be stoked... Not to mention the MP.

[switch.]

got my copy reserved :D

[prolax]

Pre-ordering ASAP

[SirGrimNZ]

I'd love to follow and pre order my copy,but i just gotta be sure it's what i'm looking for. (equally as fun as bf,heaps of clans play it all the time and it has a ga ladder) then i'll buy it.hopefully i can make my decision to get it ro not a few weeks after release

[$inc3]

I should be purchasing since it CAN run on my comp though i will wait and see.

[SneakyNZ]

I haven't got the money to preorder, I guess ill just buy it after preorder like most people do who don't have the monies atm :D

[Tiddles]

Pre-ordered :bounce:

[BeNZene]

Did my pre-ordering... will be pissed if it doesn't arrive on the 9th and I miss a weekend COD4 fun...

[x93355]

Pre-ordered from www.gpstore.co.nz

Anyone want me to order one for them and doesnt have the money yet, I'll accept BJ's from your sisters good looking 18 year old (edit - female) friend with large tits and long legs....

Oh and she has to swallow and do the job before I order.... LOL (edit - and no kissing afterwards)

[Lyesalot]

just pre-ordered mine. Can't wait.

[SirGrimNZ]

I've made my decision,I have gone against my 360's superior performance and decided to buy cod4 for pc simply for it's online,which bloody well better be awsome! i'll be pre-oredering my copy early next month from GP.

[Gunner]

Getting after I upgrade my Grafics card, which may be a long time.

[SirGrimNZ]

I too need an upgrade. i have 2 6800xt's which only let me run this low setting and picking up 20fps. So i'm hoping to pick up a 8800gt(not gtx) once they drop to $350 mark

[lt;S.O.Rgt;Crusader]

hmm duno if ill buy this mite borrow from a freind when theyve finished .......i can tel this is gona b a good game but it wont replace BF series

[nick247]

bf series is dead dude

[x93355]

Fark yeah BF2 will die when COD4 and Crysis come out. It's been a good game but due to EA not looking after it properly it's near the end of its life...

Only useless Tards will play BF2 after the new games are out.

[gt;gt;gt;L2lt;lt;lt;]

Its not in their interests to look after it..they want to make money off new releases and players paying fees to play....

Commercvial reality sound bite...

[BROX]

I guarantee that BF2 will not die when all these games are released. People have been saying that it has been dying since about 6 months after release and it is yet to happen.

I think Nick means that it is past it's use by date in terms of clan games/community but the pubs will go on strong for ages.

I'm going to hold off buying this until I see the reactions after people have played it for awhile and then make my decision.

[-CowwieStyle-]

I guarantee that BF2 will not die when all these games are released. People have been saying that it has been dying since about 6 months after release and it is yet to happen.



Because there has been sfa all to replace it, once cod4 and crysis come out the number of players will drop, why? because a large number of full bf2 servers these days are infantry only, can "bf2 infantry only with a select amount of few maps (designed around infantry and vehicle action)" compete with cod4 and crysis's infantry new style of action and their new maps?

Probably fn not.

The current bf2 scene reminds of me of what happened to the UT scene when that IG(Instant Gib/Instant Gay)mod came out for it=it helped empty out the other ut servers and the game became even more boring faster, IG/infantry only is fine for a while but it eventually speeds up the demise of the game due to lack of variety of gameplay styles.

[BROX]

Instagib has been in every UT game upon release, it's just a "mutator". But that would be gay if every server was using it.

We shall wait and see if BF2 dies, but in my opinion I think it's still got legs for awhile yet.

[nick247]

yeah brox is right, public play it will continue

but clan wise, nup, just like 42&bfv to bf2

[Deviant]

Only useless Tards will play BF2 after the new games are out.

l33t stats, here i come.

[Gunner]

Well look at Bf1942, its still living. I was on a Gamearena server yesterday and a DCmod server the same day. And i dont even know how old bf1942 is.

Conclusion: Good games have alota HP.

[`Dirty Heathen]

yeah brox is right, public play it will continue

but clan wise, nup, just like 42&bfv to bf2



yep agree I say this all the time too and people don't get it the pubs will carry on people will still play Bf2 but without the clan base the game is dead as far and competition goes even now most of the NZ clan have stopped scrimming Bf2 afaik.

[KiLL3r]

if iconz unpatched the bf2 servers back to vanilla id so start playing it again. screw all the bugs the gameplay was just better. BH capping ftw!

[urbaninja]

I'll be able to play it on low settings :P With my kick ass 6600.

[-CowwieStyle-]

Instagib has been in every UT game upon release, it's just a "mutator". But that would be gay if every server was using it.



If ones favorite server is always empty and the IG servers are full they might as well be all IG servers(i stand by uts and bf2's parallels, the end is nigh for the scene as we know it :D).



We shall wait and see if BF2 dies, but in my opinion I think it's still got legs for awhile yet.

Its all relative i guess, after 2+ years of playing bf2, it seems 50&#37;+ dead for me now player/server number wise, providing Infinity Ward and others can program infantry action better than dice(for the love of humanity i hope so) it will be pretty fn dead it my eyes(bf2 infantry only servers full with a smack of wake + having to go outside of nz to find a full large(or even 32 player) all map server, is my definition of dead)

Of course some people will still play bf2 in nz(a cutdown version of bf2) to some extent, just like some people still play ut.

[x93355]

if iconz unpatched the bf2 servers back to vanilla id so start playing it again. screw all the bugs the gameplay was just better. BH capping ftw!

Yes, I have wanted this for ages... just one server with full vehicles so we can have the blackhawks and C4 chucking.... Cool

Oh and BF2 will die (I guarantee it BROX :P )- no question as it is already down hill. As said before, once all the clans are gone it will be full of tards... and who will admin it then once the admins have gone on to Crysis and COD4.

[Mogno]

I dont think that is going to happen because they need 8 servers running to remain ranked or something afaik..

[KiLL3r]

If only the T.A.B had those types of bets. Fuck, that'd be cool.

[Invisty]

Well, I have played the demo finally.

My thoughts are that even though singleplayer seems to be a massive confusion-fest with millions of enemies (which is what makes it fun), multiplayer should be a lot "cleaner". But I'm not a fan of having my POV moved around as much as this game does.

[SirGrimNZ]

Pre ordered my copy thsi morning :) It's the no1 selling game for gp this whole week,and last I think.

[swindle]

But I'm not a fan of having my POV moved around as much as this game does.
Interesting.

I love it personally. Makes me feel more involved, and the game play more in depth. I hate the "blocky" feel of BF2.

like when ya reload? ya have to reach into your pocket to get another magazine? thats awesome i recon

[SneakyNZ]

I had a game with my friends and nearly got past veteran, however at the end near the tank it is nearly impossable to get anywhere lol :)

1:Crawls 20m in 10mins
2a:Gets shot through wall
*If option 2a is achieved go to step one.
2b:You blow ten peoples faces off until you notice a grenade is below you, you proceed to pick it up to throw it back however it blows off your face instead.
*If option 2b is achieved go to step one.

[BROX]

Veteran isn't too bad, i've found all the COD games ok on hardest difficulty section, just some bits take quite a few retries. The hardest part in this demo is stopping the tank from randomly exploding. Oh no you walked too far to the right, so tank decides to detonate itself without a single enemy nearby :(

[SirGrimNZ]

enemies don't have to be nearby,it's called RPG

[BROX]

No, go try it if you like, it randomly blows up if you wander too far away (happened when there was 1 sole enemy left that I didn't know about and I thought i'd killed them all so wandered off, got warned to come back but went slightly too far before turning and it blew up :(, tried it another time to check by walking backwards and it just blew up), besides it handles more than 1 RPG hit.

How about they scrap those brand new 16 ET:QW servers for 2 or 3 COD4 ones. They will at least get used then.

True true, ETQW didn't turn out as good as I thought it would.

[SirGrimNZ]

indeed.it's not that qw is a bad game,becuz it is fun,it's just not bf2 enough,and everyone wants cod4 and crysis instead.

[Hazard]

What? All the servers meet at LEAST minimum requirements.
As Temp has mentioned elsewhere, other GSP's host a hell of a lot more games per box than we do (up to 60 installed on a single box running similar specs to ours - the MOST we run on any box is 4). If this is in reference to the bad hit reg on BF2 - that is not a server spec issue and we are ironing out the problem at the moment, but it is a tricky thing to pin point. The BF2 servers aren't going anywhere soon - so any COD servers will be on different hardware at any rate.

[swindle]

People really need to stop tearing down the ICONZ severs tbh. Its fucking pathetic.
