For the full article visit the link below:

http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/beta.php

Charlie Oscar Delta is your Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Multiplayer (MP) BETA headquarters. Check it out! We've included all of the pertinent details for the sampling of MP action that you will experience in the COD4:MW Xbox 360 Public MP BETA. This is also where you will get an opportunity to join the COD4:MW MP BETA...and that opportunity will come sooner than you think.

Don't worry, we'll give you plenty of warning. Look for an update here in BETA headquarters. We'll also throw an announcement into SITREP and add a countdown clock on our homepage.

To be eligible for a token-you must be 18 years of age or older, punctual and capable of answering three trivia questions correctly. Yes, punctual. To be fair, we're doling out the tokens on a first come first serve basis. We're still finalizing plans for where the Beta will be available. Initially, in order to get underway we'll be rolling-out in the United States. As soon as we're able to confirm which other countries are good to go we'll be back to update everybody.

For now, dig into the details below. We organized all the information into two sections-Intel and FAQ. They outline everything you need to know, from how to download the BETA to what awaits you once you do. Stay tuned for more information.

Perfect World Global Open Beta News



Whelp, those of you in the Philippines (or those that have managed to masquerade your IPs) have probably gone ahead and tried out the OFFICIAL (I know y'all have been tricking the JP/CN versions) English version of the hit Chinese flying MMORPG, "Perfect World," (the OB already opened up 7/18/07). However, those of us outside of the PH and interested in this game should probably keep an eye out for the Malay (English) version of the game here, since it'll probably be out before the US version (and supposedly, they won't be blocking our IPs):

While you're there, check out the guides and videos. I for one will be stalking the "Client Download" section to download when I can. :)

I'm such a sucker for any kind of game.

(p.s. If you're interested in trying an English version of the Japanese OB Client visit ORPG.COM for a how to--though the post is a year old, it still works. *cough cough*)

Age of Armor 2nd Beta Starts! August 6th, 2007



"Age of Armour," the F2P Mech MMORPG from Snail Games is opening up it's 2nd Round of Beta. If you like big robots, games like "Virtua On"/"Armored Core" or anime like "Evangelion," or "Raxephon," this might be the F2P for you until FASA decides that we all want to see "MechWarrior Online" instead of some goddamn crappy ass "Shadow Run" FPS (heck, I'd play a Shadow Run MMORPG.)

Anyhow, getting a code is simple if you know basic arithmetic. If you can't get an account for this game, there is no help for you:

Account give-aways for the 2nd Closed Beta starts!

We sincerely welcome you to join our 2nd closed beta of Age of Armor. To get an account and its password, you just need to fill the security code into the box and then click “Get an Account”. You do not need to register or get a CD-key.
Instructions:

1. The account and password you get can only be used to login Age of Armor.
2. You can use the account to login the game directly.
3. All rights are reserved by Snailgame.


Now, I played during the first go around, and if not for the HORRENDOUS rubber banding/lag (the server was based in China), it was pretty fun to put shoulder mounted rockets on your mech and blast the hell out of stuff. Also, the GMs, staff were SO SUPER nice it was great. I put in a bug report (OMGZ!? REALLY!?) and the thanks made me all tingly inside.

I'll update once I check out the 2nd Beta but get your accounts while you can. See you there!

It's been a while since Iplayed SRO (for now, I'll stick with "2Moons"), but back in the day my guildies and I were pretty psyched about the proposed European Expansion as it featured brand new weapons.

New Huxley High Quality Screenies & Closed Beta Information



Here's my translation of a recent article about the Korean MMOFPS, "Huxley," as posted on the Japanese game site, MMOFAN (make sure you click this to see all the pictures):

Brand new, high quality images of characters and various other screenshots from the Korean MMOFPS "Huxley," have been revealed.

Although at the heart an FPS, "Huxley" also will include quests and character development typical of an MMORPG. Additionally, unlike the military FPSs of today featuring a modern day/near future setting, "Huxley" is a hyper styled FPS spanning the entire solar system and set in the aftermath of the destruction of the moon due to a giant, unidentified material. The story itself is chockful of tense action, revolving around mankind's struggle to survive after the remains of the destroyed moon begin to cause the occurrence of unnatural phenomenon on Earth.

Players will pick from two main races to play, the "Sapiens," and the "Alternatives." Additionally, there is a third race called the "Hybrids" which are mutations of the other two races. This third race, serve as a balancing force between the two main races, and because of their great impact upon the "Huxley" story, will instead appear as NPCs.

Currently, only images of the Sapien "One"--Man--and the "Syn"--Woman--have been revealed.

In other news, it is believed that Closed Beta Testing has been scheduled to begin in Q3 of 2007.


It's time to stalk MMOFAN for more info on Closed Beta.

Warhammer Online: Comic Con 2007 Abilities/Game Play Video



One of the more recent vids about the upcoming Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning that was shown at Comic Con:

They really needed a new spokes person or something like the first British guy who was kinda INSANE. (I need to look for that video again because that guy sold me unlike this douche bag's yawn fest.)

Braggin' rights, psshhhh. What I really wanted to know was how to customise mah wittle greenskin with skulls to hang off his little extremeties. MOARRRRRRRRRRRR GREENSKINS PLEASE!!
