Much to the shagrin of most of the eager Call of Duty fanboys, Treyarch was having all kinds of problems with their Beta. It wasn’t lag, matchmaking, crashes or anything like that. Nope. They were having the kinds of problems that they just shouldn’t have…
Their system for giving out invites is broken, leaving many long standing charlieoscardelta.com members that were promised Beta invites on day one, out in the cold. All the details, after the jump.
Apparently, the system works like this: those membes of CharlieOscarDelta.com, the original community for Call of Duty 4, who were given beta invites during last year’s Call of Duty 4 Beta was supposed to merge their account with a newly created account on the CallofDuty.com website, or transfer the original account over. If you were successful, you would receive a badge to put onto an avatar, signifying that you were a VIP and would be given priority access to the Call of Duty: World at War beta that began on October 10, 2008.
Well… It worked for some, but not for all. On the CallofDuty.com forums there are a ton of threads from disgruntled fanboys, clamoring for their beta invite. The problem was so widespread that Treyarch had to post an official apology yesterday evening, with a Treyarch poster aplogizing for a technical glitch that precluded the full distribution of Beta keys
Today, that apology was nowhere to be found on their forums. Perhaps that was becasue the problem was solved? Nope. How do I know? Because I still haven’t received my beta key.
I’ve had a CharlieOscarDelta.com account since the site’s inception last year in anticipation of the Call of Duty 4 beta. I migrated my account over about two weeks ago, didn’t get my VIP badge, despite the fact that people that migrated both before and after my account migration did. So, as indicated by the CallofDuty.com forums, I sent an email to the support@callofduty.com. It’s been three days and no response.
The forums are lit up with people that are having issues gettin their VIP badge and Beta invites, did you get your Beta key? Are you having issues with your account at CallofDuty.com?
