COD5 Beta : Really annoyed!!

Finally got a beta code for this last night ,in my very first game there was someone cheating by utilizing a glitch in the map that allowed them to "float" under the map and shoot everybody from below.
Why are these idiots intent on ruining others peoples fun? I will not be buying this game now until I know for sure that the developers have fixed these glitches. I have had more than enough of cheaters using glitches and modded controllers in COD4 and as a result I rarely play it now.
There was approximately 13000 people online on COD5 last night , so I hate to think how much cheating is going to go on once the full game is released!!

Re: COD5 Beta : Really annoyed!!

Its a beta, this sort of thing is exactly what a beta is for, yes its annoying but wouldnt it be more annoying if they had no beta you bought the game and it still had these bugs.

I wouldnt write it off completely just yet.

Yeah, there's a well-documented glitch on the 'Roundhouse' map that is exploited by some, but there are assurances from the devs that this will be fixed on retail release...

Don't forget to file a complaint against anyone glitching in this way, and shoot them in the face if they ever resurface.

Re: COD5 Beta : Really annoyed!!

I genuinely thought it was rubbish. Very rare I will delete a beta after three or so tries.

Re: COD5 Beta : Really annoyed!!

Yep the glithces and cheaters can be annoying but am sure they will sort them out for the full game after all the Beta is there to find problems. After a shaky start am really enjoying this Beta almost level 24 now Now if only I could stop running into them bouncing bettys!

Give it a chance shaun. In general they are good maps, but sometimes idiots do ruin it.

Crazy I tell thee, this game is definitely a grower. Just got the Type 100 and things are looking up

Re: COD5 Beta : Really annoyed!!

As soon as I see someone glitching (even if they are on my team) I add them to my avoided list.

Re: COD5 Beta : Really annoyed!!

I'm not going to be buying it until it's cheap, I don't dislike it, infact it's definately a grower and I can see why people do want to get it.

However, for me I don't see how it's better than COD4 in any way, it's just COD4 with a mod on it. I also believe the gun balancing is unfair and currently i'm not keen on the 3 maps we have got to play with. I'd definately get it for the CO-OP mode however which looks really good,

Finally, with Fable II, GoW2, LBP in particular, and possibly Fallout 3 I just don't think it's worth £40 in competition with the others. If this was the only major title coming out then I probably would get it, but with so much to choose from I might as well be picky.

Chris.

Agreed
I dont dislike it and would happily purchase it and play on it for hours on end but i have COD4 on my shelf and can play that as much as i want for my COD fix. But there are so many other games and i think i will use my spare cash on them. Think this will be on my Xmas list

You and a few others on co-op have to defend wave after wave of attack of german nazi zombies

Just watched it again - if there's a few levels for this mode, it could well have sold me now, that and the 5 in co-op on the main campaign sounds really good

Re: COD5 Beta : Really annoyed!!

...u can get stuck in the glitch by accident as well......i did on one go and couldn't get out....then got message abuse calling me a "glitching fag".....charming.....

also, i think people need to reserve judgment until the game is ready and out.....this is just a test beta.......the single player game looks awesome and there will be much improvement to multiplayer on release...
