L'info vient de tomber, la bêta de Call of Duty 4 sera mise à jour demain. Le niveau maximum passera de 11 à 16 ce qui permettra d'obtenir de nouveaux perks ou de débloquer d'autres petites choses comme le fait d'avoir un tag de clan (débloquable au niveau 12). Cette update devrait tomber aux alentours de 19h00 chez nous ce vendredi 7 et la bêta arrive en Europe puisque le Royaume Uni dispose des premièers infos ici. La France est elle aussi concernée, rendez-vous par là.

Xbox Live Bans and you
I’ve seen a few stories circulating today about a huge Xbox LIVE banning related to the COD4 beta. I went and chatted with the ban hammer folks, and confirmed what I suspected: We did NOT ban tens of thousands of folks yesterday as some are reporting. As many of you know we do sometimes have to take action against accounts and consoles that violate the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use. Although we’re really impressed with the excitement around the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer beta, I do want to take this moment to point out that that the steps I’ve been reading about that some people have been trying to take to get in on the beta without their own token could very well violate our Terms of Use.

Remember that sharing accounts isn’t just a violation of the terms, which could get you banned, it’s actually not a good thing to do in general. People can get details about you or content from you, or try to take action against you when you do something like that. It is your responsibility to keep your account information safe. Regarding the COD4 beta, the best advice I can give in a situation like this is try and be patient. We know you all want to play, and we think that’s great, but if you break the rules, you can be banned.

I hope this clears things up.

Sergeant Big Boots has just told us that those of you looking for a way into the European Xbox 360 beta test for Call of Duty 4 need look no further.

That's because we've partnered up with Activision to give away kit-bags full of keys this Friday. We'll even paint your face for you.

It will be the first chance us Euro-dwellers have had to join the test after the US got first dibs back in August.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has been winning praise since it was shown in July at E3, proving there is plenty of room for another contender in the area.

So if you don't fancy having to pre-order the game to claim your spot, then just keep your eyes on Eurogamer and our community site Eurogamers this Friday morning.
