Call of Duty: World at War PC multiplayer beta update

Some more intresting news i just reading.



Xbox 360 owners have been playing a multiplayer beta of Activision's upcoming WWII shooter Call of Duty: World at War for a few days now but soon PC owners will get in on the party. On the official game's message boards (which can only be read if you are a registered user of the web site), the game's community manager gave an update on what the PC beta will contain (although there is still no release date).

The update states that for the first time in a PC Call of Duty game the multiplayer servers will be tied into one global server and that players will have one Profile Name on that server. "Why are we doing this? Because also for the first time ever in a Call of Duty PC title, we're bringing Friends and Invites (which are typically console staples) to the PC." That means PC players can add and invite their friends to games and show servers to only show where your friends are playing. The multiplayer beta will also allow folks to host their own multiplayer servers. However all accounts, experience and friends will be wiped when the beta is over.

Fuck it, this means Re-Adding everyone to friends again unless the profile is ableto be saved and copied over the the full version, witch i doubt will be possible.??

(Does this mean we can only have 1 Profile on COD-WAW ot still have more than one.?) I myself have 2 Profiles on COD4, buto nly ever used the one. my other Profile i use very little was Nite-Stalker. (lol) but still have rank of Corpral.

So will COD-WAW allow use to have more than 1 profile or just the 1.???Im confuzed.

And even then it's obvious since the beta and the real game are 2 different products.

It would be unfair to keep your beta data.

Indeed, this is old news - the beta has been out already!

It's only the beta, no need to go on a friend adding frenzy.

You should be able to have more than 1 profile, like in the beta I would imagine.

If you only have 6 friends then why are you moaning about having to re-add them when the proper game is released? It's hardly that much effort.

As for keeping the profile, it's not the finished product so it's fair enough that you don't keep your profile.

[JDogg]

more effort to post saying you had 6 than add 6

Lol, yeah but still, it would make it a lot better if it kept your friends.

The friend 'system' is shit anyway, just use xfire.

What about the lone wolf thing.

What's that?

[Infinite]

if u play the beta and while ur in-game go to ur menu, there's a squad thing. you can make ur own squads and invite people. people in the same squad as you have blue colored names and are blue on ur map, unless you aren't in a squad.

Thats like the 10th time you've asked me that . Infinite got it right, I'ts kinda like BF2? or something, never played much of BF2.

[JDogg]

bf2 squads only exist in the server e.g, you leave the server and it goes.

In CoD5 it stays? Like a clan or something? I haven't used it yet.

[The President]

No it doesn't. I don't see the point of it really, everyone managed CoD4 without it

The only reason I used it was for team-killing Pwnzor.
