Call of Duty 4 BETA

I got my Call of Duty 4 BETA code about 2 nights ago and ofcourse I downloaded it immediately. The first night I played it quite a bit and managed to get to the rank of Sargeant I (Level 10 I think.) Played it again a bit last night but I have to admit that I didn't have the same enthusiasm for it last night as the previous night... when it was "new". For me it got a bit boring very quickly but I don't think it's the game necessarily.

I guess the reason I have never really gotten into multiplayer games in general is because basically it's just the same thing over and over and over and over. I guess it gets emphasized more by the fact that there are just 3 maps in the BETA. I guess I like my games to have stories to them so that you dont just feel that it's more of the same over and over. I can handle coop. In fact I love coop. Coop follows a story though. Multiplayer (as in COD 4) is just (in basic terms) running around shooting as many people as you can till the round ends.. and then repeating it again on the next map. For me personally that gets a bit boring.

Apart from that the game looks pretty good, it plays quite well and the leveling up system seems to work quite well. Although I probably won't be spending as much time online with this game as I thought I would I am however really looking forward to the single player campaign. This is the part of the game I have always enjoyed about the COD series and I think it's going to be awesome in COD 4.
