Beta sign-ups, take two, starting shortly.

If you tried to sign up for the Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer Beta this afternoon you were likely unsuccessful in securing a token. You're not alone. CharlieOscarDelta.com crashed before the registration even got underway leaving fans repeatedly hitting their F5 keys (or savvy Firefox users enabling their ReloadEvery extension) for over an hour.

If you were lucky enough to actually get through, you would've seen a screen declaring that all tokens had been distributed, better luck next time, have a nice day.

While it's not clear at the moment if any tokens were actually distributed, InfinityWard blogger fourzerotwo has announced that they will now be distributing the tokens lottery style. You'll have 24 hours to register once CharlieOscarDelta is back up and running, so everyone will have an equal chance of receiving a token.

The beta will be expanded to accommodate more and more players as time goes on, so if you're still left out in the cold after this round, you'll still have more opportunities to be disappointed.
