Call of Duty: World at War PC Beta Now on FileShack

by Blake Ellison, Oct 28, 2008 12:00pm PDT

Fallout 3 may be today's biggest release in PC gaming, but a free multiplayer beta for Treyarch's Call of Duty: World at War comes in a close second.

Offering the same three levels as the Xbox Live beta, the PC beta is open to everyone. All players need to do is sign up at the Call of Duty website to get a key.

Once that's done, download the 845 MB beta from FileShack.

There are no limits to how many players can join the beta; rather, the keys from the Call of Duty website are used to create individual profiles and find friends more easily.

Players are advised that the beta won't last long, as the finished game drops for PC, PS2, PS3, 360, Wii and DS on November 11.

Bah, this is just a $15 expansion pack. I can't justify $50 for this - it's the same game, reskinned, with new maps and weapons.

Figured out how to get your key. Follow these steps.

Here is how to get a COD:WaW Beta Code:

1. Click "Logout" in the upper right hand part of the website.

2. Copy and Paste this URL in your browser:

http://www.callofduty.com/beta

3. On this site RE-REGISTER

yes re-register. For some reason the webmaster/ Treyarch does not have the two databases sync'd together.

4. You will get a confirmation email. Click the Activation link in the email.

5. It will then register your new login for the beta site and give you a CDKEy in your URL bar and on the activation page.Write down the CDKey or save the HTML page.

6. Install the beta and use the CDKey you just received. VOILA!!!

This game is horrible, it's just a mod of Call of Duty 4 which is already horrible. I thought it would be somewhat fun but no, it wasn't. It was just so bad, I quit in like 5 minutes.

man, callofduty.com must be one of the worst websites around. I have to log in like 4 times before it logs me in, constantly redirecting me to creating a new profile and such. Then once I'm in my account/profile area all the text boxes are all jumbled and messed up! Oh well, I have a key there waiting and am downloading now... :)

also, it may just be Chrome not cooperating with the site, IDK. Can't wait to try the beta!

After seeing the commercials for the Gamestop "Get the M1A1 Carbine 65 levels early" I thought the game's graphics were going to look like ass... Thank god they don't! I played a round on each of the beta's maps and the visuals are on par with CoD4 (from what I gathered) and the gameplay is there too!

The dogs are an awesome addition and the game plays great! I just hope the vehicles don't screw the whole thing up...

Definitely on my radar now. I was dreading the game because Treyarch was making it, but I've been floored by the work they've put into it. Bravo Treyarch, bravo.
