And it happened again.
The official Call of Duty 4 website crashed around 05.00 pm US local time (02.00 Central Europe).
Why? Because yesterday a small post was made on their forum by one unknown who was apparently from their Public Relations Team.
" 24 hour notice:
But we've been playing the beta internally, and it's so much fun we are dying to play with you. So... let's blow off waiting for the site and just consider this the countdown -- there will be a way for people to register for the beta starting 5pm PST tomorrow. Some of those will be playing as early as tomorrow night... tick tock tick tock.
Details on how to register for your chance to be in the beta will be posted tomorrow at 5pm PST. So stay tuned for details, it will be a limited time offer. "
So what else to expect (after the 3rd of August Crash) that this kind of communication would lead to an other crash of the official CoD 4 Website.
Thousands of hysterical Kids are camping on that website 24/7 since it went up. So an exact time when you must be present or you miss out on joining the BETA is just the stupidest thing to do.
btw. If Europe will take part in this BETA XBOX adventure is still not officially announced.
For those who want to know what AC/IW wanted to tell about the XBOX BETA at 5pm PST ; they holding a special First Wave Beta Lotto to determine who will get an early (?) chance at the Beta. They want to start off with 1 group of players. If all goes ok they will get a next group of players into the BETA. But this First Wave Lotto (just send an email) only last for 24 hours.....
Don't ask me how long the BETA time period will last.... Don't ask me what, where or when... Don't ask me if this is also for Europe or Asia.... Don't ask me if this is instead of all other things that they stated about getting to play the BETA... Don't ask me how many people will be in this first group of Lotto Winners...
All I know is that if it comes to clear and structured information and (very important) information that is meant to be for ALL (worldwide) Fans you can't get it from the Call of Duty 4 Public Relations Team.
