Get your COD4 beta key here News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

7 September, 2007

Earlier this week we told you Eurogamer had partnered with Activision to give away Call of Duty 4 beta keys. Well, today we're delivering the payload.

All you have to do is sign in to our community site Eurogamers and pop over to the COD4 key giveaway page to claim your spot. But you will need to provide your Live Gamertag as it is an Xbox 360 beta test, and you should note only Gold members of the service are allowed to take part.

If you're not already a member of Eurogamers, then registering will only take a few minutes. We're not going to ask you for money or anything like that, and you'll be rewarded with lots of lovely features over in community land - like our new Xbox Live integration, for instance.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare takes the familiar World War II series onto today's battlefield. Infinity Ward are back behind the wheel, and from what we've seen so far it looks nothing short of fantastic.

You can read our Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare first impressions from the US beta if you don't believe us.

No good for me as I'm currently in the process of sending back the broken replacement (actually a pretty shoddy refurbishment job) console they sent me, to replace the broken console I sent them...

Yeah, I was quite suprised when I rushed on here this morning to find over 15,000 keys left. I though every man and his dog would be trying to get into the beta.

Maybe as the day goes on things will hot up.

Can't wait to play it though. Sounds scrummy : )

@rich72: monday
@xerx3s: it might give humanity a tiny spark of hope that people are actually working at a friday morning instead of waiting like madmen refreshing game website pages?

It went live late last night with 19,000 keys and there are 15,000 left before we have even started promoting it... I'd say that is quite popular!

My experience of EG is that most of the people who post during a week day are actually in work. All you need is access to PC, and lets face it, most office jobs give you that.

Hah anyone else feel robbed. Had the day off work today, mooched online and nearly wet myself with excitement when I realised that I could put off the hoovering and play COD all day. Went through it all only to be told I have to wait till monday. Gutted. And hoovering.

I decided to get the beta key from here even though I might also get one from GAME as well whom I pre-ordered the game with. I didn't expect to get one to be honest but I did, no problem, so I'm all signed up and ready for what happens next... :)

Nothing yet - I belive they are adding our info to a mailing list and sending the info out later.

Btw, Thanks Eurogamer ;)

Was already on EUrogamers, but hadn't tallied my Live account to it... hope that doesn't confuse things :/

Oh well... registered everything at Activision's site so just waiting on their email now.. roll on Monday!

P.S. Slightly excited and scared as this'll be my first BETA experience...

This is what you get from the confirmation mail.

Confirmation said:
Thank you for signing up to the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Official X360 Beta Programme for the UK and Ireland.

You are now on the approved waiting list and will be emailed with your BETA Programme Code as soon as it becomes available.

I didn't get this email yet. this was posted in the forums, anybody that got this mail this morning or sometime after willl get in the beta.

Hope i get it.

@Beano

I signed up for the US tokens and got in. Am still in as well so I'd imagine you'll be fine assuming you do get the 25 digit code ;)

hmm a beta key giveaway that actually isn't a beta key giveaway just a chance to get a beta key when Activision gives them away on Monday, pffft rubbish! Poorly worded EG, you're NOT giving away beta keys just the chance to get one. Oh well hope I get one anyway to see what the fuss is about

Everyone who gets a key gets on to the beta though, so it's not just a chance...
