At the end, there's the disappointing news that there will not be an open beta, only an 'internal' beta limited to Activision... *sigh* In any event, BASHandSlashin also reports more news on Black Ops multiplayer.
• Treyarch combats resales by making Call of Duty: Black Ops too cool to trade in. O RLY?
• ADAN News flogs the Black Ops beta dead horse one more time. Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
