As planned, Infinity Ward closed down the extended entry into the CoD 4 beta last night and prepared to send out entry tokens to a select random few. But soon after the sign up closed down we were informed of their new beta plans. Over on Fourzerotwo's blog he announced that, in an effort to apologize to the community for the last few days of craziness, Infinity Ward will be awarding CoD 4 multiplayer beta tokens to EVERY person who signed up. That's right, if you signed up for entry into the beta you are guaranteed a beta download token. Heck, your token could be sitting in your inbox right now. Fourzerotwo says that they'll be sending out beta tokens throughout the next few days, staggering the emails out a little bit so they can slowly ramp up the amount of beta participants. So, if you signed up and still haven't received your beta token, just be patient. You'll get it soon'ish. Oh, and Infinity Ward, we just want to say that you guys rock!

Wonder if this includes those devilish dogs from Unamerica who tried to get in even though they weren't supposed to?
Sure hope it does. >_>

raaaad, I was actually not planning on signing up thinking that it would be pointless since i NEVER get chosen for these types of things... I'm sure glad i decided to go for it.

I have a question for people that got the token. Did you receive a "Congratulations" email first, then the token in a separate email later or just the token in one email altogether?

I have a US Live Gold account, but live in Japan. Here's to hoping they don't discriminate by IP.

lol lol lol lol
You should really READ fourzerotwo's blog...it clearly says tokens will be sent out over the next few days, not all at once!!
Anyhow, so they have basicaly let nearly every US 360 owner into the beta, what about everybody else? Will we only get a few days to play, or will we have a first come first serve opportunity or lotto?
Once again, we are being robbed, not only do we have to wait longer for the beta, with no guarantee we will get in, but we will end up paying £39 ($80) for the full game!!

Well, playing last week was fun. Guess I can't play it now that everyone and their mother has it. Too many noobs. Did the level cap get raised yet?

I figured that's what they were going to do...but forgot to sign up. Oh well, I guess I'll spend the first few weeks with the game getting schooled by people with beta experience :P

I'm glad I signed up last night but I'm afraid I am not going to receive and e-mail from them because I had two accounts for the site. and for my first account I enter the right address and I have not received a validation e-mail from them (yes I have checked the junk e-mail) And when I made a new account I used a different e-mail address, And I still have now received a validation e-mail from them on that one. But for some reason it let me sign up for the Beta still.

@15
Schooled on three maps though. The rest is open season for all
@1, @5. Yea I played with a guy from outside the US yesterday. His connection was perfect (he was the host) everyone else who connected lagged out. SO he was 38k 5d, while everyone else left in frustration. Let me tell ya, that was really a lot of fun

I think I signed up yesterday...I put in my gamertag and my email address associated with my account and hit submit but was brought back to that same page with no info in it. I didn't get an email confirming that I signed up or anything.
Does that mean I didn't sign up properly or did this happen to everyone and I have to just wait? Thanks.

@17: That's the only thing I'm worried about. I'm probably gonna get loads of lag playing against you Yankeedoodles across the pond.
So if you see someone moonwalking across the battlefield shooting at the wall it's just me!!
