Call of Duty: World at War - MP beta

I've been playing CoD:WaW PC beta for about the last hour or so and it's a lot of fun. It's more or less CoD4's MP in WW2.

The beta is open to everyone.You can get a beta key by signing up for an account over at (www.callofduty.com).

1. Once you've signed in, click "My Account" towards the top-right of the page.
2. Now click "Account/Profile". Your PC beta key should be listed there.
3. Download the client.

EDIT:- You need Punkbuster, otherwise the game won't boot properly. The beta client installer botched the installation of the PB binaries onto my machine, I had to do it manually with the PBSetup utility from (www.evenbalance.com).

Punkbuster hates me.

Have you tried adding the PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB executables to your Firewall's exception list? They should be in your c:\windows\system32 directory (or SysWOW64, if you're using x64 Windows).

No, I mean, they kickbanned me for nothing. Now I can't play on 3/4 of all 2142 servers. Which probably means I can't play on 3/4 of WaW servers as well.

You sure it was for nothing? I mean, you are Koki.

I was not playing as Koki though.

'The Artist Formerly Known as Koki', perhaps? ;)

I dl'd it yesterday, played a few rounds, more of the samey but 3 maps and good fun.

they did not alter the perk/achievement system in any way, on the contrary, since I don't have a COD4 account I just started anew and got messages/unlocks/xp bonuses constantly. God, I hate this "play and we help you cheat" system. I made some killstreaks and instead of making it harder for me since I seem to own other players the game made it even EASIER with killstreak bonuses like Airstrike and Unleash the Dogs and shit.
It's the antithesis of competetive and balanced gameplay and "character" progression, on the contrary, it's a breadcrumb system for addiction just like annoying ringtones and different collectible magazine covers. and it's - of course - totally unrealistic in relation to WW2 and in no way making any sense. but that's not so important for MP.

I actually think about getting this game for single player/co-op
instead of the dreadful Call of Dickwaving across Iraq 4
that made no good impression on me. but I think after playing one demo level I will put it away since I doubt Treyarch have the guts to remove the spawn wave system from COD4 or the autoheal.
