The signups went away real fast right after the E3 announcement. Now GameSpot is giving away 10,000 keys a day for a total of 100,000 keys. All you have to do is edit your profile and add your gamertag and sign up here to get a key that can be redeemed in the marketplace to get into the beta.
So far it's pretty solid and I'm having a ton of fun with it. The ranking isn't as passive as the one found in R6:V or other ranked games. You see the points you gained from a kill float after a kill and if you rank up in the middle of a game it tells you right there. It stays pretty true to the COD style of combat with a very realistic damage model and the use of iron sights is a huge benefit when trying to pick people off or even from semi-close combat. The demo gives you access you 5 different modes (or 4? Can't remember.) The most fun I had was in Team Tactical which pits 2v2 or 3v3 in objective based maps with no respawns, so you really have to communicate with your team and make sure you stay alive. In the time I played that mode my team was pretty big on covering all points in front and between us so we wouldn't get ambushed. We won 4 in a row without a problem and without being entirely cheap.
Overall, the game looks nice and plays really well. All the levels except for one were really well done. The one in question is an objective based map that seems like a really sprawled out farm/village with 2 objectives on it. It would be fine for a full game of maybe 10v10,  but the maximum is 6v6 and leaves the map feeling pretty empty. Other than that I really have no complaints with the MP.

Anyone else playing it?
