WAY OT: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Beta Available
A buddy sent me a code for the beta. I'm not sure how you get one but pretty sure they can be found online. I'm playing on the XBOX 360 and so far this game blows away MW3.
Sorry for the post non-gamers, but I thought I'd let my fellow M fans/grads know so they can enjoy.

I'm a new "gamer" (due to being up at ungodly hours of the night with a newborn) and have been reading about beta forms of games. What the heck are they??

Essentially, it is a nearly finished version of the game that allows gamers to find final bugs and any other necessary tweaks. Open beta generally means that the public has an opportunity to test, and closed is far more limited in who can test.

Thanks for letting us know. I used to love this series but it seems like it's been a while since the last game was released.

No problem man. It's a really great game so far. Only 2 maps are available but they reallyshow off the new features. Lots of cover and sprint to next cover. I can't get into all of the features at risk of boring those here but yes it's fun.
I am a big fan of the series too.
All I need to know is how it compares to COD MW2.
I'm sorry, but I prefer Duck Hunt beta. Tom Clancy is a puppet of bureaucracy.
Meh...
I'm sure I'll Gamefly it. But I'd be much more excited about a modern day version of the original and/or GRIT. In my lifetime video games went from tic-tac-toe (pong) to chess (Rainbow Six and GR)... And then started devolving into really pretty checkers (just about everything out).
I have a beta code (pre ordered it) do I just put it in via my xbox or do I have to go to their website? Me and a couple buddies are checking it out after work. Thanks man
You just go to where it says redeem code and type it in and the download option will pop up and then you're set to go. Although right now I'm <still> playing it and it seems to be having loading issues.
Awesome Thanks
I wish I had an invite code
Try this I just got an extra one for somebody:

The sad thing is if they did make it the sales and ratings would suck.
"Why I can't jump off a roof while full auto sniping?! Waaah?... My health doesn't regenerate?! Mission planning? *yawn* This game sucks!!!".
The GRAW games had enough options in multiplayer to be decent. But it's sad to think what they could (but don't) do.
Man, that brings back memories.. I remember playing old school Rainbow six and rogue spear on PC, just around the days Dial up started dying out and cable internet came about.
I was playing this a couple hours ago. First game I go 22-7 and then I was completely shit after that :/ mostly positive tho.
One thing I like about it (at least in the conflict game mode) is that K/D really doesn't matter (me being a terrible K/D player). It's all about the objectives.
