Modern Warfare 2 Beta Scam Revealed News
E-mails flying around tricking people to join the MW2 beta but more likely to leave you sniffling...
By Chris LeytonPosted: 12/01/2009
Such is the popularity of Call of Duty that any news of a possible chance to jump on in the action is bound to create a stir. Such an event happened recently when e-mails promoting an apparent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta appeared, however unsurprisingly it's all entirely fake.
Infinity Ward has moved to deny the e-mails, suggesting that any message coming from COD5BETA@infinityward.com is entirely fake, and likely to leave you stricken with viruses instead of sampling what Infinity Ward has in store.
The text of the fraudulent e-mail is copied directly from the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare beta test, so it's easy to see why CoD fanatics might be tricked, but just remember: if something looks too good to be true, then it probably is - Infinity Ward haven't even officially lifted the wraps from Modern Warfare 2 yet!
That said it does highlight Call of duty's popularity if hackers are using it to dupe unsuspecting victims; hopefully, it will move Infinity Ward to finally reveal what they have in store.

urm... gfh-77, farcary was not an "epic fail" because of the big maps, id rather be able to what i wanted in the 50 km of map i have, other than follow a daft pre-set route, how you can say farcry 2 is a fail i do not know.
but anyway, personally i think this game will be unreal, and can all the little kids please stop complaining about what is there and what isnt? ooo and apparantly there will be something like nazi zombie, only with terrorists, but they aint dead if ya get me. just what i heard =)

after reading alot of the comments on the board i would assume that alot of you dont understand the limitations of the technology of today. there are a lot of posts that are sum'ed up by.
"ZOMG when i shoot somebody in the face there head should blow up." or "WTF if a bomb hits a house it should blow up not remain intact"
adding things like destructible body kits, deformable terrain or objects, and enormously large levels is a large strain on the engine. as gfh-77 said this game needs to look good but perform well also, and personaly i would rather have a game that respects limitations such as these then a game bogged down in endless lag with tons of random useless features.
all-in-all IW is a competent company and we should trust there vision that they have for the game.

I dont understand why some people are whining about the possibility of some weapons being cut
