COD2...whaddya think?

I just got COD2, and i was very impressed. At a decent resolution, this games graphics are stunning. And gameplay is real cool. I actually would put the game overall above DOD:S, but DOD multiplayer is real fun still, and I have yet to try out COD2's multiplayer side.

I would suggest this game to anyone, unless you ABSOLUTELY detest WW2 shooters. Nothing beats BF2 though, nothing.

i loved the game, i could run it at decent settings but there were some pretty nasty slowdowns every once in awhile in the game. my only complaint is that its such a system hog, it kills my 9800 Pro, 2.4/533 northwood and my gig of ram.

You finished showing off?

How about you accept that COD2 is a new generation game and will require you to run the game with a sensible resolution?

It's definitely obvious that some cuts were made for the console multiplatform release (damn checkpoint saves... I want a mod to insert save anywhere again) but the bottom line is that CoD2 is more intense than ever.

And United Offensive was already getting extremely intense. The first time at least... Still very minimal replay value. Online is... Well, I've never liked Call of Duty multiplayer anyway. MoH:AA and DoD1.3 for me. And BiA was different but cool.

repost...Bad, slow connection

There is no plot in war.

And war stories, as such, are practically infinite.



(actually I'm just testing something so if you're just irked by this response, ignore).

you for real? these games are all based on a war that actually happend and alot of them are based on stories told by the few people who where actually there! there not just games

yeah it looks great i loved the HQ multi in the united offense expansion pack of the first one with the tanks and jeeps, i hope they bring that back in a mod or patch or expansion.

cant say ive had it slow down on me runs really smooth everything on max at 1280x1024.

im getting one of those soon a widescreen 21" LCD panel though

its an good looking game but like others have suggested, its just more of the same. the original COD and the ensuing UO expansion held more interest simply because they were more towards the beginning of the whole WWII FPS game craze. I have had COD2 for over a month now and I havent even played the first level all the way through...i have spent more time looking at the extras on the additional DVD...still, its a good game i guess...just doesnt hold my interest.

Runs great 1280*1024 but that is the max on my monitor, im not sure about those new fangled LCD screens...i like my bulky CRT monitor that gives me a hernia every time i lug it to a LAN party

So you pirated it? You're still enjoying the fruit of the developers labours, even if you're not "enjoying" it as much as the original.

same i pirate movies, but only the ones i dont think i will enjoy, but are recommened like "War Of the Worlds" boy im happy i didnt waste 10 quid on a ticket popcorn and drinks to see it, in my opinion one of the worst movies ive seen.

as for games who the hell pays the full price of 34.99 (uk) to play a game you might not even like, is it not better to try it properly first? i norm wait till they hit about 20quid before buying the game properly any more than that is a rip off and the developers know it...

if you still have built in graphics id definentaly refrain from touching any modern fps, 1. youll get the worst graphics and the shittiest experience ever 2. its just unbearable playing it at such low frames. what you can do is save up a 100 bucks and buy yourself a 6600GT, ive also been seeing x800's for 125.00 just my suggestion if you want to play modern games. ooooooooo your talking about call of duty 1?

Thanks, Wolfie

The demo I played says Call of Duty Demo. I have no idea if it is verison 1 or 2. But it starting with the guy running thru a minefield towards some buildings...

Well my retail PC is pretty souped up with dual core 2.8 gig cpu intel, 1 gig ram, guess what I am lacking is the graphic card to do the job.

So I presume if I stick a 6600GT card into the machine I should be good to go?

Tell me a board that will cut it for the next year or two, as I want to keep my pc for at least that long.

Just looking at some board prices on newegg, they range from $100-$300

My new game habit is going to cost me some

7800GT?

and Ben Myers is correct.

Downloaded COD2 demo, and it would totally refuse to run on my integrated grahics PC. Ok, now hitting the graphic card section on the forumz...

7800Gt of equiv and you're laughing

You know, Tomshardware went to the trouble of ranking all the latest graphics cards and putting them into a nice little table for your viewing pleasure and you ignore all that to simply ask which is better

Okay, my advice stays the same, spend the cash and you will be playing games a lot longer than if you buy something less.

However if you wanna spend less, then I recommend a plain nvidia 6800 or a 6600GT.
