I was accepted into the COD 4 multiplayer beta for Xbox Live this past weekend and finally had a chance to jump in last night for the first time.
A co-worker, STL KR10, set up a party for a number of Media General employees who also got into the demo using the game’s excellent lobby system and we were able to play together as a team for the entire night.
The game is a healthy cross between BF2MC and Rainbow 6 with a dash of Gears of War style gameplay mixed in - a fast paced, tactical shooter.
The maps, Crash, Vacant and Overgrown, all offer excellent gameplay - Crash being the most fun because of the choke points and flanking opportunities.
Points and ranking is handled though a great system that includes kills, assists or other scenarios like kills through thin walls. Ranking up allows you to begin tweaking your character class similar to a RPG - you can modify your weapon loadout, abilities, camo and much more by filling your 3 “perk” slots with things like C4, claymores or rocket-propelled grenades.
What’s more, you’ll be able to save various character setups for different games - meaning you can customize your gameplay depending on the map or team with which you’re working.
I found the character classes, weapons and the upgrade system easy to understand and the control layouts intuitive—and despite being a low rank in the game last night (meaning I got killed A LOT), the game offers something for n00bs (like me) and experienced players alike.
Forget Halo 3. Without question, this is my game of choice for the rest of the year.

jellyfish.com have opened their doors, claiming to be “the Internet’s first buying engine.”
(I wonder if they’ve heard of Amazon.com [yes, it’s a store - but it’s also a search engine], coolsavings.com and countless others?)
