Hi have only just started playing cod4, so don't know about all of this. So what does BETA stand for and what does it do??
The beta is usually a stripped down version of the multiplayer - only 2 maps and a few weapons for example. It's just so the developers can get an idea how well it performs online in real-world situations with real players and real connections (not LAN).
If there are framerate issues, or lag/connection problems, they have time to tweak the game or servers to ensure it is as bug-free as possible once the official release date arrives.
All your player progress in the beta doesn't carry over to the main game, so once the full version comes out, nobody will have an advantage over newcomers other than experience with the beta maps.
It certainly look like the best CoD Treyarch have done, here's hoping.
Anyone know if the control scheme will be identical? CoD4 easily has one of the best default setups out there.
