At 8:53 PM EDT I received the most exciting news of the week, and I needed it. I was emailed the code to download the Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer Beta, and those who signed up need to check your email now if you haven’t already. I’ll be playing this tonight and quite a bit tomorrow, and should have a rundown of my first impressions this weekend.
A while back Infinity Ward allowed the humble masses to vote for one of five designs to grace the game’s cover, and the winning image shown (thanks Achievement Junkie) will be the one lined up across New Release sections come November. I believe that’s the one I voted for, come to think of it.
So why did the beta key cheer me up so? Two enraging things happened to me tonight within an hour’s time: A thunderstorm knocked out power to my house for a couple of hours, and in the middle of a Halo 2 match with my friend and my kid. I only get to do this once a week. Fantastic timing. About 45 minutes later my kid was using my cell phone. As she handed it back it slipped right through my grasp and dropped straight into a glass of iced tea. Hell of an evening.
