We now know why they LIED about needing 4 years (HA!) to make a beta.

It was because they fully intended to lie, cheat, ripoff, screw over, and then completely ignore us... exactly like IW/Sledgehammer did...

A beta would have shown the PC community that the "ranked dedicated servers" were BS and that we were getting screwed with matchmaking. The # of people buying it wouldn't have been a tenth of what it was. Instead of 0.89 million PC copies sold it would have been a pathetic 25,000-30,000. (maybe 50,000 max)

Never happen, Activision won't give away its cash cow. I can't blame them for that, but it would be nice if they were to admit wether it was in fact a beta or final release.

I agree .any COD needs beta testing. Mark Iama tryarch studio head has stated that a beta would take up to 4 years to develope and that this game is out this year. that is the problem.

Well then that does it: COD is DEAD! I told them not to LIE one time, and here's the first lie.

NO SALE!

Hackers are going to try to hack no matter what: (thanbk you for the straw man)

The issue here is playability; we want to know BEFORE we commit; that this game will NOT, have the same incapability, and bug issues Black ops had on release day.

And we want to help form the game to REAL PC game play style.

We need a beta test this time around: open, or closed, makes no difference; but we (the PC community, not just Xbox) need to test this product, for bugs, glitches, and playability: Before release.

We do not want a repeat of Black ops: Black Ops is not a bad game (it could be better) but it's not bad, NOW

But this was not true on release date: That game shipped with so many bugs, it was embarrassing.

And some people PAID to beta test it; this is no way to do business.

So I'm asking on behalf of the PC only comunity: To allow a beta test BEFORE release: so we can make an educated decision, as to whether to preorder or not. (and believe me not many will be preordering, with out a prerelease beta)

I think people need to understand that that game was drastically different for the PC and PS3 then it was for the Xbox. There was virtually no testing done and the little that was done found errors, yet there was not time to fix prior to release.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 17:54:27 GMT

Please explain why. I can't imagine why not. Maybe what you mean is that the beta for PC should start on release day for consoles? That's essentially how BO was launched only they didn't bother to tell anyone it was a beta.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 14:49:50 GMT

There should never be a beta for this type of game.

Look at World at War. Communities came together during and after the beta. Need I say anything more.

What people call beta these days is not beta. Beta programs that exist for the purpose of fixing bugs usually last for at least several months, usually longer. I have been in Beta tests that have lasted almost a year. Activision pushes for simultaneous launch on console and PC so I think that's the problem. The PC team seems to have to wait for many features and changes in the code to port and then they have to translate that highly proprietary highly hack optimized console stuff to run on a range of standardized PCs. It's not an easy or quick job because I'm sure they are rewriting so much of it. They have to release code that isn't ready. Hopefully there was better planning this time around and we won't see such fundamental problems with the engine. I don't expect perfection on release day but I'm not wanting perfection. BO was a game with with show stopping bugs that took months to fix, all while Activision refused to warn people they might have those problems before they purchased the game. On release day BO for PC was Beta 1 release of the game, not a retail version.

That doesn't give me much confidence. I will have to watch the forums to see if they light up with fundamental unresolved engine problems for weeks on end. I would expect the odd bug here or there, but not the stuttering that BO had. It wouldn't be so bad if there was a 30 day money back gaurantee or something like that. As it is, once they have your money you have no choice but to live with it.

Actually, no. Gamescom is not a beta. It's like CODXP last year. Infinity Ward said it was just for hands on time. Gamescom is the same thing There is very limited amount of things they can change before they need to send the game off to production. Most issues that are found, will probably be addressed in a day 1 Title Update.
