For me I liked it!

It doesn't appear as fast as COD4, but Db tells me that'll change. ;)

The weapons feel and sound good. You have to watch you ammo, 'cause some of the clips are limited

The Maps are neat with lots of varying elevations, the railyard is a sniper heaven, easy to pick off people that don't use the cover available.

I was surprised to see Germans in it as this was supposed to be the Japanese conflict. No matter as the MP40 was there too. The MP 40 still feel good like in the original COD.

Another thing I liked was the background noise of the troops yelling.

Also having tanks in the mix reminded me of the movie "Saving Private Ryan"

All in all, a big thumbs up!

When you play something like COD4/COD5, FC2, and or BF2 back to back you soon realize just how freaking sloppy BF2 is. Don't get me wrong, BF2 is the best at what it offers (combined arms massive battles) but it really lacks on details, weapons, sounds, etc. You also will notice when you play them back to back, you will be much better at BF2 when you have been playing COD, but not vise versa. The weapons in BF2 are just sloppy and you can get away with a lot with it. In other words, you die and kill much slower in BF2.

Some of the amazing shots in COD4/5 are just good shots from good players. One reason I really love the kill cam is you can see just what happened and where the person was, etc. I play COD4 with a group that competes in TWL and CAL and I have to say, they make most of us look like grandma's lol. Not to say there are not hackers, etc out there, but with PB, kill cam, etc it's pretty easy to see them.

As for the sound issues, I sorta know what you guys are talking about, but at the same time I think the sound is great. A lot of the ambient noise (squishy sounds, clinks, etc) are I think meant to raise the aleartness level of the game. Many of the sounds you hear randomly are actually your team mates spawning near you and your hearing their guns rattle, etc. Watch the little tab on the top of the DP 28 drum and you will see when you spawn in it moves and makes a certain sound. I believe that each weapon or at least weapon class makes a similar sound on spawn and during running and jumping, etc.


One of my favorite things in the game is the kill cam on nades, rockets, and bouncing betty's. Only just noticed today that say when you get blown in half by a BB, you can go back and see your body is actually left on the ground in that condition. Blown legs, arms, etc. Just freaking cool. Can't wait to see a flamethrower kill. lol

My personal feeling is that even though COD5 is nearly the same as COD4, it actually is a much better and more interesting game by far. I love the WWII stuff way more than the modern stuff, so I'm sure that is a part of it, but there are a lot of great new and fun things in this game.

I've noticed that to, especially when I take breaks from playing. Takes me a while to get my rhythm back.

Not like BF2 at all.

Once you unlock better weapons, deep impact/stopping power perks, and get better sights, your KD will improve.

Just unlocked the bouncing Betty's. Really cool, have to watch how you place them though. They have a circular blast pattern vs directional pattern like CoD4

So are you, that responded, going to pick it up?

And are there anymore OMOs/BCOs planning on getting it?
Petrified-OMO Posted - Oct 31 2008 : 08:15:19
So far: I like this game. MP is good and I love the addition of vehicles. (why would Modern Warfare NOT have them?)

I think the sniper rifles are persnickety. I have better results with the non-bolt action weapons than with them - even at great distances (course, I only went sniper in CoD4 as a counter measure). The sound is odd in some places. There is often a soft squishy noise I hear and I cannot immediately tell if it is someone being knifed or people running and jumping. The sound work there could be better. The guns are not overwhelming sound wise – often sound like pop-guns with Umph, I suppose it could be improved upon. Love the sound of the arty and the dogs. Oh yeah baby… arty. Nothing like seeing your kill cam showing the shell diving towards your ‘last’ position.

DB, you sure started getting good with that DP 28. I was starting to feel bad about killing you so much and then you pulled that beuty out of your back pocket and got me back. lol Nice work.
Dirtbag-OMO Posted - Oct 30 2008 : 13:37:50
Sting get called a hacker??? NAh I don't believe it. No way. LMAO!!!
Those little noobs will accuse anyone if there getting pwned.
Stingray Posted - Oct 30 2008 : 12:20:15
Regarding SLI, I still get 40-70fps even at 1920x1200 resolution and everything on high, no big deal at the moment. Game is nice and smooth.

There will be jeeps in the game from what I've read. A tip, you can crouch in the tank gunners seat, but as bloody pointed out, it is easy to take a person out. I guess it makes it fair as that gunners position just owns in the right hands.

I did get called a hacker in the tank yesterday. LOL. Went 20-1, felt kind of guilty, but got over it.

I noted the tanks were tough to take out, but you can run around them pretty easy. There not hard to stay away from if your on the ground.

The sound issue is really odd. Seems that people either love the sound or hate the sound. I for one love the sound. The "feel" that they were able to get with the sounds alone is really cool. The only sound that bothers me at all is the "walking" sound, as it sounds too crunchy and is generic for all maps it seems. Outside of that, sound is great, at least for me on my system.

The SLI issue is more of an "SLI and Driver" issue than anything else. Get use to that one. It's part of the reason I went away from SLI a few builds ago. Seems that it's common for new games and it takes a few weeks to get good drivers.

Here is my take on the game (or what we have seen of it).

Sound is great.

Graphics are great and even better than COD4.

Gameplay (speed and feel) is good, but a little sluggish compaired to COD4, but hella good compared to BF2, etc.

Weapons are fun. I think they got the balance between period correct and playable fun. The bolt actions are crap for me, but I also don't like playing the "sniper" class anyway.

Vehicle addition is very smart and makes for some fun play and new element to the game. The tank sounds cool and is just the right speed and movement (IMHO). It can be overpowering if someone like Stingray is in one, but otherwise it's pretty easy to take out. The gunner is dead meat most the time, so you can usually approach the tank without too much issue. BTW, in the server config files, there are more than just tanks. It looks like jeeps, etc will be in the game too.

Also, I love the new kill cam shots (flying in with a nade, etc) and the bloody kills and body parts flying.

Dogs, arty and recon all seem good and much improved balance over COD4. You can turn them on and off and even change the number of dogs, etc. Not sure what the "Ranked" rules will be for that, but it is possile. Also you can turn on hardcore and even old school still.

All in all I actually like this game better than COD4. To me, it feels more WWII than COD4 felt "modern". Without seeing the SP and the rest of the MP maps, etc I would still give it a 9 of 10 and unless the final game is fubar, then I would assume a full 9.9 or 10.

Well said Sting. I agree with everything you said with the exception....I like the DP 28. WOW!!! Use this as a single shot and you will have 2 shot kills at ANY range.
By saying single shot I mean to hit the trigger quick to fire off just one at a time. PLUS a huge amount of ammo!
Woops did I just say this out loud?

Oh and I agree with Spec. The Yelling of the soldiers is great! I laugh at a lot of it!
Stingray Posted - Oct 30 2008 : 05:45:48
Start with the bad and end on the good.

Bad:

I'm in the sound sucks camp. Probably the #2 complaint in the CoD forums right now. Some seem to have no issues. For others, game sounds like garbage.

Gunshots sound like firecrackers whether someone is far away or right next to you it doesn't matter. Very muffled sound. Like I said in the BCO forums, it's like I'm listing to the game through cheap tinny speakers. This has to be some sort of bug based on all the complaints I've seen on the issue...time will tell.

SLI doesn't seem to work at the moment, noted on the forums as well.

No hardcore filter at the moment.

Maps are smaller than I was expecting.

Tanks are juggernauts, they could soften them up a tad. 3rd person view seems very arcadish to me.

Good:

Glad the have aperture sights, KD ratio is vastly improving with these site. A lot like red dot sights in CoD4.

I like the overall feel of the weapons unlike many in the CoD forums. Not many maps can make use of the sniper guns though (so far). You can pretty much reach out and touch someone across the maps just fine with aperture sights.

SVT-40 (semi auto) with aperture sight is one of my favorite combos right now. MP-40 is what I use to run and gun at the moment.

Friends management is good!

Graphics are as good as CoD4.

Dogs and arty seem well balanced. Still wish you had the option to turn them off if you wanted though.

New kill cams are fun to watch.

At the moment, I give the sound 5/10.

I give the overall game a solid 8/10. Like CoD4 it continues to grow on me the more I play. Looking forward to SP and the additional maps in MP.
