The Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the upcoming first-person shooter from Infinity Ward, will be getting a public beta test this month. Like the public beta for Halo 3, it will give gamers the chance to sample an incredible-looking game, while simultaneously allowing the developers to test their network code, optimising it long before it goes on sale. It’s win-win!
Here’s the bad news: the beta test will be confined to the United States. This has been confirmed by a representative of Activision Australia. Australian gamers will miss out. Gamers in New Zealand will miss out. Europe? The UK? Forget it. The beta is exclusive to the 360 version, too. Oh well.
