Many people will be wondering about betas and many other things. This thread is to clear up any questions you have on the beta. If this post does not answer any questions you have, feel free to ask.




Q. Does Black Ops have a beta?
A. As of the moment, no.


Q. Will there be a beta?
A. It is very unclear at the moment, but is being strongly considered by Treyarch. Josh Olin and others say that they do realize the helpfulness of a beta. They have also seen what happens when you don't have a beta.(MW2) Update Thanks to Caspa.


Q. If there is a beta, will it be announced?
A. Yes, it will be most likely announced on callofduty.com.


Q. What system(s) will the beta be for?
A. Betas are usually opened on the main consoles: Xbox360, PS3, and PC.


Q. How long will the beta last?
A. It is unknown. Most betas usually last a few weeks, right before the game is released.


Q. How do I recieve a beta code?
A. It matters whether the beta is public or private. A private is usually open to people that pre-order the game or sign up in the earlier days. A public beta will be passed to anyone signed up on the Call of Duty website. These are usually sent through email.


Q. How can I get into a beta?
A. It again matters if it is public or private. Private is only open to a selected few. A public is open to a large community.


Q. When will there be a beta?
A. The beta usually takes place 2-3 months before the game is released. Details are unknown.


Q. If someone contacted me and said they will give me a beta code for my account details, Is this legit?
A. No. This is most likely a scam due to no beta being released yet. Never trust someone you do not know with any account details.


Q. Is a beta the same as a demo?
A. No. A beta is for players to test the game and find glitches and bugs. If they find these things, they tell the devoloper, who fixes them. Ademo is for players to play a game before it comes out.




This thread will be updated with new questions and change depending on whether a beta is released.

I'm watching this game close. I'm totally hyped up about this game. I was bored so I went back to W@W and I realize how great of a game it is. I guess it got drowned in the hype of CoD4. It's a shame because theres like 20,000 people on at anytime because I would like to play it more often.

It's more or less certain that Treyarch will release a beta. All other CoDs have had betas, exept MW2, which was a flawed by glitches, hacks, and imbalances in weapons and perks.
