Re: downloading cod waw code takes for ever?

Mine took 30mins to get from 34 to 37% because I tried to play COD4 at same time. I turned COD4 off and it finished in 5 mins.
Make sure its the only thing coming through your connection/router.

Remember that not all those that got codes are going to be playing at the same time especially because of the time zone differences.

totally, what I think I'm trying to establish is just how many codes have been already made available.
I remember checking the leaderboards last night, a lad in our lobby was 612th in the world.......he had already played it for a total of 3days (ingame stat!!!!)

Eurogamer had 20,000 codes.

Don't forget you can get exclusive contenet, beta and VIP access when you preorder from Game.

Quote:
Limited offer while stocks last. The codes will be emailed every Friday afternoon until the release of COD: World at War. Customers will need to preorder before 1pm Thursday afternoon to receive a code the next day, otherwise the code will be sent out the following Friday. Please make sure your registered email address is valid. Requires access to Xbox Live. Customers who have already preordered this game will also receive the bonus offer. The code will provide exclusive access to Call of Duty, World at War, customers can then register for the Beta and in-game content via links on this page. Beta codes & in-game content codes will be dispatched from Activison directly. Beta Codes will be sent on a later date when the Beta becomes available, in-game content codes may not be sent until release.

Re: downloading cod waw code takes for ever?

I set it off DL'ing at lunchtime on Tuesday and left the Xbox alone on the Dashboard.. took about 15 mins, (8mbps with Wanadoo / Orange), played at lunch today and there was around 5500 players in total, probably a few more later tonight.

Re: downloading cod waw code takes for ever?

Still doesnt tally up for me, I am (Guess)estimating with the EuroGamer, COD.com and various other sites there should have been at least 45,000 codes distributed if not more.......Spammy is saying there were 5000 roughly on at lunch, where are all the players ?

EDIT: I suppose the only true test will be on a weekend when most people have time off.

Re: downloading cod waw code takes for ever?

Yea im waiting to see how the lag is. On wednesday night there was not loads of people playing it as far as i could tell and there was a real lag around. So it will be an intresting test for them.
