Come back in an hour.

I did that for the Halo 3 second round beta signups. It worked.

I refreshed a few times and got back to the beta page.  it doesn't have a timer anymore but it seemed close enough to my computer's time.
Come back in an hour.
I'm too bored!

Can't get the page to load, I imagine the servers are getting hammered. :'( Anyway there going to ask 3 questions about the game so I took the below post from GAF. Kudos to cornballer for the post he got the info from someone at the cod4 beta.

Quote
I can't take any credit for this (someone under the name Bulletzbill put this together on the CoD4 Beta forum), but hopefully this will help my fellow GAFfers with the trivia. Link. As far as I know this is correct, but it's very likely that there are at least a couple errors, so please don't hold it against me. I just copied the whole thing and added some formatting. I have no idea if the trivia will be this difficult, in fact there's a very good chance it won't be. But just in case, here you go.... There's also the trivia archive here but it's a bit jumbled up right now. There are a few answers in there, though. Good luck!

=================================
Call of Duty 4 Trivia "Cheat Sheet"

Table of Contents

1. Single Player Campaign
2. Multiplayer
1. Party System & Matchmaking
2. Kill Streak Bonuses
3. Perks
4. Default Classes
5. Game Modes
3. Weapons

1. Single Player Campaign

- In the level 'Death from Above', you get to control an AC-130 Specter aircraft.
- When using night vision, you can tell who is friend or foe by the IR indicator
- Friendly soldiers wear glint tape on their helmets which makes it easy to distinguish them from the enemy while using night vision.
- In the campaign, you alternate primarily between a US Marine and a British SAS
- The shadowy leadership core of the enemy force you are fighting is called The Four Horsemen


2. Multiplayer

- The level cap for Beta is 11. (each level is signified by a different military rank)
- You unlock a new Perk every 4 ranks* and you unlock create a class at rank Private(rank 4)
- You can unlock upgrades for each weapon by completing specific Challenges with a particular weapon (i.e. getting 75 kills with the M4 unlocks a silencer for it)
- The 3 Beta maps are Overgrown, Vacant, and Crash
* Overgrown - Large overgrown rural Russian area. Sniper ghillie suits make for good cover.
* Vacant - Deserted Russian office. Intense interior fighting.
* Crash - Downed Sea Knight in a desert town. Fantastic team games.
- There is a "Hardcore Mode" which is: no HUD, no Kill Cam, & increased weapon damage
- Bullet Penetration is dependent on three variables; the ballistics of the weapon you're using, the relative 'thickness' of the object you're shooting through, and the distance between you and the object you're firing into

Party System and Matchmaking

* The party system is set up via its own Party Lobby and veryone has a Party lobby as soon as you jump into the Multiplayer menus of the game.
* You can invite friends to join your party (up to 7 more players) at any time via the Party Invite option
* With matchmaking, it will only put you in games in progress that are evenly matched with the rank (skill) of your party members and those which are balanced team wise.



Kill Streak Bonuses

* 3 Kill Streak: UAV - sweeps the game field every 3 secs for 30 secs
* 5 Kill Streak: Air Strike - airstrike by 3 jets
* 7 Kill Streak: Helicopter - send in an AI helicopter to fight for you

Perks

Perk 1

* C4 x 2 - Two C4 charges you can plant and remotely detonate. You can even detonate while another weapon is equipped by tapping the reload button twice.
* RPG-7 x 2 - It's slow to fire, but it helps when there's a helicopter on the prowl (or when you can't aim for s***).
* Special Grenades x 3 - Pack a few more stun or flash grenades in your purse.
* Claymore x 2 - Explosive mines that detonate when stepped on. Great for dropping when someone is in pursuit.
* Bomb Squad - Tired of being blown up by well-placed C4? Now you can see it before it goes boom in your face.

Perk 2

* Juggernaut - Increased health so you don't die quite as quickly.
* Stopping Power - Increased bullet damage, which really does a number on the opponent who chooses Juggernaut as his Perk 2.
* Sonic Boom - Deal more damage with explosives.
* Sleight of Hand - Faster reloading, which is crucial if you want to carry the SAW (aka big gun that takes a full minute to reload).
* UAV Jammer - Keeps you from showing up on radar if your opponent has a UAV drone deployed. This won't keep you from appearing as a blip on the screen when firing.

Perk 3

* Extreme Conditioning - Allows you to get extra distance when you sprint.
* Steady Aim - Better hip-fire accuracy for those who like spraying bullets everywhere.
* Deep Impact - Your bullets go deeper (and harder). This is one of the best perks, as it allows you to shred through cover and hit enemies who think they're safe.
* Last Stand - Once you've taken enough damage to have killed you, you get to whip out your pistol and fire until someone shoots you. You can't move, but if you're lucky, you can take someone with you. Or you can take the cowards way out and deny your enemy the full XP for the kill.
* Martyrdom - You drop a grenade as you die.

Deep Impact Perk + Sniper = FUCKEN OWNED OMG FUCK YES JESUS LAWD

I remember getting the second class gun in Battlefield 2 for the Sniper. I would be able to take out people in vehicles (who had less than 90% life) by shooting through the windshield. Theres nothing more enjoyable than killing a Heli pilot when hes midair and the Helicopter crashing back down to earth :heartbeat

I don't see how anyone is surprised.  I tried tooling around with that site last week, and it was as broken as all fuck--and that was when it wasn't getting totally hammered.  Of course this was going to be a clusterfuck.

Just wanted to give you guys a small heads up that we're planning to go live around 7:30pm-ish PDT time, which is rather soon. (don't freak out if it's not right at this time, give it time to get up and propagate DNS servers.)

As I gave heads up to before, the plan is to go with a 24 hour free reign sign-up. Therefore, anyone who signed up earlier, or signs-up within the next 24 hours will have an equal chance to get into the beta regardless of any other circumstance.

Therefore, when the site goes live again here shortly, you can sign up now, later tonight, tomorrow morning, or anytime within the 24 hour period and be put in the running to receive a token.

We will be randomly selecting users from the database who sign up during those 24 hours and sending out codes accordingly in batches. You will know within the first 72 hours whether you got in or not via email, so you won't be waiting around for ever just wondering.

More official and fine details will be available on the site when it goes live with the new sign-up, just wanted to give you guys who have been religiously checking the blog for updates a quick heads up before it went up.

Thanks for all the support everyone. Let me know if you have any other questions.

there's 24 HOURS.  you have an equal chance of being owned by me if you sign up later today OR tomorrow!
