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 to charlieoscardelta.com and 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”.
