Anybody gotten on this?

I've just had a quick go, and have to say, what I p[layed was rather enjoyable (although a bit sensitive for my liking) the community seems to suck big hairy donkey balls.

Why?

OK, basically you level up like in Rainbow Six Vegas and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (the only two shooters I've played with the feature so bare with me), upon entering a few games I've heard "ooooooooooooooh great, a second class private" or something along those lines, a match in which I was on the losing team, the loss was blamed on me, despite the fact I'd been in the game literally 2 minutes and they were losing 680 - 250 or something along those lines, so no chance of them coming back, and I was also kicked out of the lobby before a match even started because of my rank.

Looks like the Halo frat boys have gotten bored and joined in on this beta while they wait for Halo 3 to arrive.

I'm in on this too. I'm loving it, as far as gaining rank, you'll level up fast. Maybe every 2-3 matches you can gain 1-2 levels, pending how you play. Plus all the challenges are like mini-achievements which is cool. The Halo-esque community will not be there most likely when the game actually comes out since they will be on the H3 teet.

More then likely with will match the CoD2/3 community which is pretty cool. If not we could always organize our own clan.

I love the Killcam, since now no one can accuse you of glitching/cheating since they see how you killed them.

Plus the level of customization allows you to cater your class to your play style, and enough slots to vary up the classes for different needs. Overall I'll be playing H3 till this comes out (Single player mostly) at which I will be on CoD4 almost exclusively.

I think I may just do the same, although The Orange Box is also out soon with Team Fortress 2, I only recently stopped playing Team Fortress Classic 1.5!

Looking forward to that too, mainly getting the OB because I have never played HL2, by the time I got a hold of a rig that could play it flawlessly it had been announced and was just months in the waiting, so I figured to wait for the 360 launch and get the whole slew of titles for one nice price. Really looking forward to TF2 as well, seeing as I was a huge fan of TFC way back when.

I just got my key and downloaded today, I'll give it a whirl later after some Stranglehold action!
