So you know how everyone keeps assuming that Modern Warfare 2 is going to get a public beta? Well, it’s definitely, probably, maybe not ever going to happen, according to Infinity Ward‘s Robert Bowling. “We’ll do an internal beta, if we feel a public one is needed, we’ll explore that route as well.”
“We would never say something as definitive as ‘No Beta Ever!’,” says Mr. Bowling. For the time being, unless you work at Activision or IW itself, no dice — you’ll have to wait until November 10 like the rest of us lowly scum to play some Call of Duty. Unless of course you happen to be 50 Cent, Will Arnett, Dane Cook, or any other celebrity that wants to stop by.
If there’s one game that people truly need to be sold on, it sure isn’t Modern Warfare 2. I can see why Infinity Ward would rather save its time and energy for something other than cranking out a public beta.
