It's activision they just like Nintendo belive it's demos are the tools of Satan and consumer shouldn't even think he can get any entertainment for free.

I thought it was probably Activision pulling the no beta strings as well.  I just hope this doesn't effect the quality of the game overall.  The game certainly looks amazing so I would hate for a few minor bugs (that could have been fixed with a beta) to muck it up.

COD always has some map breaking bugs, and no beta ever has had enough time to weed them all out. I mean COD4 still has two of them and it's been almost 2 years since release.

It is true about map breaking bugs will always be there.  But I can point to like atleast 3 or 4 major ones that was in the beta for WAW that were fixed pre release.  So beta's do actually help a lot.

 

Don't get me wrong, I still think this game is going to be amazing and more than likely Game of the Year for me.  I just think that a beta would have made it much smoother for everyone involved.  And I could have had a good shot at getting to know a few of the maps before the game is released!
