User blog comment:Darkman 4/Leaked beta is out/@comment-1873354-20101017111755/@comment-1772365-20101017125523

People only want beta because they want the game early.. that's a DEMO, beta is a game where things are NOT finished yet. Activision was smart not having a public beta, the private beta with good players was great. Look what happened to MOH, they had a public beta and the game wasn't known to be good because in the beta it had glitches and stuff, because the ASSES who played it thought it was a demo. Do you see the point? ALSO they don't want people to know the leaked stuff so it would actually surprise the players and not spoil it for them. Machinima Respawn got temporarily banned because they had leaked Black Ops footage and Activision told youtube to shut them down.
