Re: Beta?
They havent said. I hope they do a demo at least. The beta for WaW was nice, but people complained and moaned over and over about it. Rather it be a demo and people shut up.

Re: Beta?
I don't think it was just the quality of the beta that hurt PC sales. It was word of mouth when the game came out that the retail product had the same issues as the beta, plus some.
In my opinion, not having an open beta or demo hurts sales on the PC. PC gamers are accustomed to having a taste of the game before they buy. Especially in this day and age where you're never sure if the next big game is going to run worth a crap on your PC, demos are essential.

But mostly because I dislike perks in general and the competitive community is not that big so there's barely any populated promod servers (or whatever the equivalent for WaW was). And it kind of felt like more of the same thing in a sense, CoD4 with a WW2 skin.

Re: Beta?
I think you all are correct.
The WaW beta hurt it because of the bugs and unpolished feel of it. Most people dont know the difference between a beta and a demo.
The bugs in it on release. Its obvious Treyarch and IW did not share notes.
Broken features to make it work for the competitive community.
The fact that it was like CoD4.
The fact that it was a WW2 shooter.
The fact Treyarch made it. (I know, thats stupid, but I know people who didnt buy just because of that.)
I do hope MW2 has some type of demo. It doesnt matter to me though because I am getting the game. I love the storyline and single player IW can do. Its not going to be much different from CoD4, so I know what to expect. AND hopefully IW learned the bugs from the first time and we will NOT be seeing them this go around.

Re: Beta?
I think it should just be a demo as well. The other issue with having a beta is with the ga-zillion people all trying to play at once; the servers get all laggy, then people complain, blah blah blah... Just make a demo out of it, I'm sure the multiplayer isn't gonna be worse than MW or WaW...
