That's because they're not giving codes out yet.

Unless you're referring to signing up for an actual account on the site, in which case Eurogamer deserve a :fp:

Not sure what everyones problem is, it was pretty clear that Game would be emailing people to allow them to sign up to the CoDWaW site which would then get them into the beta...its not their fault if you can't read, now is it.

******* retarded system.


And again, it does pretty clearly state in the email to be careful to select English UK, I mean it specifically mentions it...

Yes, but why am I even going to bother reading the steps? It should be a straightforward affair, like any other offer that requires you to input a code. Why am I even to going assume this one is any different? It stupid that it doesn't automatically detect location via IP address like most sites do. I'm not the only one who'll make this mistake, guaranteed, because it's just a flat out silly and unclear way of determining location.

If I pre-order the PC version from Game, will I get a code? Or is just 360?

So the first lot of codes are only for those people that regestered to the site a few months back? I only got my GAME code regestered today, ah well will just have to wait and see.

I registered yesterday and I got a download code. Follow the instructions Boo! posted and see if you've got one.

Managed to play 3 games on 3 maps and I'm now Level 4.

It feels like a mix of the old COD games and COD4. It doesn't really surprise it plays exactly how you would expect. The dogs are a good addition. Hearing barking from all directions and seeing everyone run and back into a corner is really tense.

Really? I mean really? Are you more of a fan of WW2 stuff then modern combat out of interest?

Also anyone know when Eurogamer are giving out codes

It really, really isn't.

Have you been in the tank yet? Absolutely terrible.

The guns don't feel half as good as the ones available in 4, the 'additions' are mostly pointless and crap and its graphically inferior (to the CoD4 beta).

Its CoD4 dressed up in (bad) WW2 clothes with extra gimmicks to make up for the crappiness.

Basically if you've stopped playing CoD4 because you've had enough of it...this most certainly isn't a reason to play more CoD, you'd be much better off going back to 4.
