So it's only vaguely useful. Great.
Is the Combat Card back in?
Are shotguns good?

A percentage of what? Why are they hiding numbers now?
Are there any numbers on the main page outside the playlist? That's the only way those percentages would make sense.

Haven't used them enough to really tell honestly.
There are 2 available.
KRM-262 and Haymaker 12.
Will give them a spin in a few minutes once I'm done editing this vid and report back
I'm a bit confused about this actually, as there's the After Action Report (below) but no Combat Record section as far as I can tell. (Bear in mind not all features are available in the Beta, I guess this is one of em)
That would be really nice to see, thanksHaven't used them enough to really tell honestly.

Milo do you know what the max rank is on the beta or on the game overall?
MrRoflWaffles

I think it's 40. That's judging from max wep unlock levels alone, though, so it might go to 45 or something. Full game cap will definitely be higher though.
Yeah, I don't know either, it just seems weird to tweet out "24 hours!" if there's actually more than 24 hours until we get access. So still hoping for midnight UK time.

When are we getting the PSN code? I've already redeemed it on the beta site.

Sounds good. Yeah the main game is at least 55. Look forward to playing it online this time

Did anyone else not get a code from Best Buy? I preordered yesterday.

Is there going to be a "hardcore" mode available?

Wondering the same thing. I redeemed it a couple months ago. Never got a confirmation email, nothing, lol.

In the final game? Yes, believe so
In the Beta right now:
More modes may be added as the days go on, but I'm doubtful we'll see hardcore. Maybe, though!
Haven't noticed any at all in game, so yeah probably his stream
Nice, lately, Call of Duty games haven't had that 99%+ 60fps locked, I think Black Ops 1 on Xbox 360 was the last game like that. Would love to go back to that.

how do i get access to the beta after pre-ordering? (PSN)
Where do I get the code for it?
Where do I get the code for it?
For digital pre-orders it should give automatic access to download it when it's added to the PSN store.
No code needed.

I still haven't gotten my code from the black ops website.
When will they email them out?

Eeeh, not entirely pointless. There's a press stream event tomorrow and there's no way anyone would have agreed to turn up if it meant they had to miss the opening couple hours of the beta. By granting early access they circumvent that issue.
When it goes live (public) on your platform of choice. Right now it's early access only
Unrelated:
Just realised they got rid of the horrible shaky HUD that they used to have. SO much nicer having it fixed. Ty 3arc!
Game settings just changed, looks like they pushed some update or other.
Also, level cap is 28 right now apparently. Definitely think they are going to raise it over the course of the beta though.

oh cool, so the same should work for Rainbow Six?

How are the maps? the last few CoD maps sucked balls for me ....
I'm in the same boat. MW1, MW2, BO1 where the last games for which I enjoyed the maps. So far, from the gamepay, I think I like the snow map, Combine and Hunted.

Wait, did codes go out from Activisions website yet?
Exactly, it seems as if there is always a vortex that pulls a snipers bullet towards you both close and long range. The only respectable snipers are those that snipe in a snipers nest, but those are considered "campers." It seems like either the community needs to accept the idea of "camping" with a sniper or preferably bring the Black Ops 1 style of sniping back (my favorite sniping style).

after entering my beta code is there anywhere on this site to make sure I am registered?

That's more likely your code being faulty.

Watching the drift0r stream and it seems like medal overload.
Nice! Does this mean that Cod is finally using dedicated servers on consoles?
BO1 had huge framerate drops on 360 whenever a Napalm Strike was called in, didn't notice huge drops in any other COD game.
