Didn’t see a thread about this.
Anyone playing the cod4: modern warfare beta?

I think it’s a really good shooter.
There is a perk system that goes by your rank, (ex. last stand-you can shoot your postol once you’re downed, penetration-bullets go through walls). You can assign like 3 perks out of about 10.
and also "challenges’ (ex. get 75 kills with the ak-47 and get a laser scope, silencer. 25 headshots and get active camo, whatever that is. )
Also there’s a nice feature where after you are killed, you see the first person view from the person who killed you, showing the last 5 seconds before your death, with a big “me” tag over your character. So no more “wtf where did that come from”, you get to see it. Although you also see the lag difference.
You can also call in airstrikes, and recon helis to spot enemies and put them on your radar.
There’s only 3 boards, and the leveling is capped, but it’s still a good game.
Got a couple laggy matches. Once you find a good group though, you can stay with that group for future matches.
This is the first “Tactical” shooter I’ve liked. I usually play later at night, about midnight to 3am’ish. Kind of getting pwned about .5 kpd, but I’m getting the hang of it. my gamertag is rdandy if anyone wants to team up.
