Frequently asked questions:
How Do I get a Token Invite? "Tokens to download the Beta will be distributed on a first come first serve basis. To be eligible to receive a token, you must be 18 years of age or older, as well as answer three trivia questions correctly. The Beta will be available on Xbox 360. The Beta will begin in the United States. We're still finalizing what territories it will be available in, so please check back in for updates." Then of course you redeem the code through the dashboard, as usual.
How large is the beta file Size? 1.7 GB (2GB free recommended)
Is there Split-screen or System link? What about Co-op? No split-screen/system link in the beta, there will be in the retail version though. No co-op at all.
How can I give feeback? Go tocharlieoscardelta.comand go to the "public beta forum."
I lost my code before I downloaded the Public Beta. What now? "Click into the Beta Section and then "Enter Now." Your code will appear. We're pretty sure it's magic. That, or some damn good interns."
Finally, the question EVERYONE needs to pay attention to. Is this representative of the final CoD4 retail product? "It's a beta. Everything is subject to change. The full game will have more maps, and functionality, not to mention it will also have an extensive Single Player campaign. Also, any grayed out section that you see is either yet to be unlocked, or is locked for the Beta."
