We’ve got our first bit of news concerning international (i.e. non-American) beta tests for Call of Duty 4. Seems Australian gamers will be first outside the US to genuinely participate in the beta-testing process muck around with a MP demo, with a beta confirmed as appearing on Xbox Live “before the game hits stores on November 7th”. Which leaves us anywhere between August 27 and November 6. Which is most unhelpful.
