Here you have it. No open beta for Black Ops..

There have been rumors circling the air for quite sometime on a beta. This video is a private interview with a guy from Activision clearly stating "There will be no open beta." Start the video at about 5:33 if you don't feel like watching it all to listen.

Cod haters incoming,brace yourself

deadreckoning6665735d ago (Edited 5735d ago )

Yeah lol. I know were your coming from, there are a ton of em on N4G. Honestly, I don't care if someone hates COD(to each his own). Where the problem lies is that many COD haters on this site not only constantly bash COD games...but also the people who play them. Its okay if you dislike a game someone else likes..but to bash someone for simply enjoying a game? Thats pretty low right there...and the COMPLETE opposite of what gaming is about.

Same thing happens with Halo. I've seen comments(in Halo articles mind you) that claim that Halo is "inferior" to other shooters, namely Killzone 3. If you NEED to go into a HALO article to call it inferior to a game that you personally think is better..ur simply a child.

Either way, dumbass fanboys are a small, small, small minority in this industry and the only illusion of power they have is on anonymous gaming news sites like this. In the grand scheme of things, the only thing they accomplish is making the rest of us gamers look bad.

Redempteur5735d ago

the same thing happens with GTA4 haters and FF13 haters .

by reading the comments here you'd believe that everyone hated these games when it's false

"No open beta for Black Ops"

closed beta ??

bjornbear5734d ago

who wants to bet the MP will be broken =/?

TROLL EATER5734d ago

stage is set once again for glitches

Serjikal_Strike5735d ago

game patch ....after game patch..... after game patch....after game patch:(

MAR-TYR-DOM5735d ago

Or, it could just be like other cod games where they are abandoned 6 months after release.

theEnemy5735d ago

lol, November (Launch Month) IS the beta period.

:D

the-show-stopper5735d ago

maybe the internal beta will be enough
hopefully
they probably saw that everyone in the MoH beta took it for a demo and they realized that most gamers arent that smart
good move on their part

The_Claw5735d ago

agreed, too many people see betas as "early access to the game!" rather than trying to help devs make the game better for the final build.

PhantomT14125734d ago

Then Activision testers were not better than these people when they got the MW2 internal beta...

redDevil875735d ago

after MW2 they're not doing an open beta? SMH. Be ready for patches and downloads.

MGRogue20175735d ago (Edited 5735d ago )

... Oh well, They are only killing a good thing for themselves here anyway..

I would have thought they'd know this already:

Beta = Criticism & good feedback = Better game for you & me.

getonmylev3l5734d ago

99% of the people that take part of "AAA" betas, play it like a demo and don't give feedback to the dev. (Including me)

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio18d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing18d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit18d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing18d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
