Something not even the fiercest gamers were hoping for has just popped up. It seems that the open Beta for Call of Duty 4 is in fact going worldwide. According to Gameplayer.com, even Aussie's gamers are getting their chance of playing the game's testing phase, that is... whenever they decide to launch it. Yes, unfortunately no official launch date has been confirmed yet for other territories except the US. Lucky Americans are getting it this week.

Here's what the mentioned source posts: "As of this morning, Infinity Ward have back-flipped, presumably in the pike position, and confirmed that the greater globe will also get a chance to give the CoD4 multiplayer experience a test run. No specific date was announced for when the Australian Beta will go live, only that it will be available before the game goes to retail on November 7..."

Below, you have some of the game's key features as presented by the developer itself (Activision) at this year's E3 convention.

￭ Authentic Advanced Weaponry - Featuring an available arsenal of more than 70 new and authentic weapons and gear from assault rifles with laser sites, claymore mines, .50 caliber sniper rifles, and M-249 SAW machine guns and accessories such as night-vision goggles and ghillie suits, for maximum concealment.

￭ Coordinated Assault and Support - Modern battle from the soldier to the satellite, where the need for air support is critical to success.

￭ Cinematic Quality Graphics and Sound - Cutting edge next-gen visuals; amazing special effects, including realistic depth of field, rim-lighting, character self-shadowing, texture streaming as well as physics-enabled effects that will enlist players into the most photo-realistic gaming experience.
