COD: WAW 360 beta open to all

By Oli Welsh Published 5 November, 2008

Free download from the marketplace.

Activision has announced that it has made the multiplayer beta for Call of Duty: World at War on Xbox 360 open to all.

No money or beta key is required to access the game. Simply find the multiplayer beta under Call of Duty: World at War on Xbox Live Marketplace, download it, and start getting killed by all the people who've already been playing it for weeks.

Alternatively, the PC version of the beta went live this time last week, and you can access it just by signing up at the game's website.

If you have a PS3, tough - there are no plans for a World at War beta test on Sony's machine. You'll just have to wait until the game is released, alongside the 360 and PS3 versions, next week.

You'll find plenty more to mull over at the Call of Duty: World at War gamepage.

    That's nice of 'em, did they do it on COD4 as well?

    (Loving the game by the way)

    Time to remove the "thousands of keys holding the gates open" announcement then, right?

  • syphaa #3 3 years ago

    Thats quite funny really.
    Wonder how many people paid other people for a key...if people just have a little patience...

  • [TR] #4 3 years ago

    Open to all as in Silver and Gold accounts, or the usual Live Gold-only multiplayer? I would think it's the latter, but you never know...

    @ [TR]

    I'm curious, what good is an online MP beta to silver members?

    I was just thinking that...maybe to keep their disk space warm?

    Not really a beta, a couple of weeks before release and open to everyone, sounds like a demo to me.

    Anyone who mentions that song from here on WILL be hunted down.

  • HolyJebus #9 3 years ago

    Will this just work for the week so before its released I wonder or will it continue to work after release?

    They're a lost cause mate, trying to explain it to the majority of yanks would be like trying to beat a mouse to death with a snake.

    LOL! The poor old shitstation gets shafted again.

    I don't think PS3 owners are missing anything special at all - it took longer to download than the time I've played it. It's basically a map pack for cod4 that doesn't fit very well. If you love cod4 you'll get over it - anyone else don't bother.
