Well, I'm glad to say that i got into the Beta. It. Is. Awesome. Seriosuly. At first glance it's basiclly an average shooter with really good graphics. But once you start getting perks, new challenges, and new weapons, it just becomes addicting. The perks aren't VITAL to gameplay, but I personally like that. I see them more as a way to customize your character than as a way to change the game completely. The challenges, although not nessacery, are implimented well, and give you reason to try out all the different weapons. They also act as mini achievements, which is awesome. And the weapons. Oh, the glorious weapons. Not only do they look and feel great, but they're jsut plain fun to use. I don't know how to describe it, but I felt more attached to my gun than i have in any other game. This beta wioll definatly hold me over until Halo 3, and trust me, COD 4 will soon be in my collection list!!
