I boughtz it. My computer sucks for it, but if there aren’t too many people in the server I can actually play it. I found out it gets a lot easier and more fun the more you level up. I didn’t play CoD 4 except for 30 minutes at the WCU lan (made second round though yay me). I have been a die hard fan of the CoD series in the past though.. don’t know if any of you have looked at my status.. anyway here’s my 2 cents.
* Graphics are killin me! – I can’t complain really cus I’m playing this on a laptop… I’ve talked to some of my CoD friends (I have a rather large group even after not playing for over a year cus of CS:S) and they said that right now CoD 5 doesn’t support running in dx7 which is why a lot of people who are trying to run their CoD4 configs are getting constant black screen and crashes. He also said that it is expected that they fixt that in the patch. If this happens I think I’ll be straight and I expect the game to run fine… so cross your fingers.
* Controls are a bit awkward – It feels like the game is made for a console (duh) but this is kinda annoying because the movement seems very slow. Again, I’ve played vCoD, CoD:UO, CoD2 and my normal sensitivity of 1.3 takes a mile of mouse space to move (and yes I’m using the same mouse). I even use a sens of 3 in CS:S and I have to have it at 7 on WaW to get it close.
* Bugs – It’s prolly cus I have it on such low settings but some objects in certain maps [don’t show up!/b] I see floating lanterns, floating boxes that NEVER APPEAR no matter how close I get to them. I’ve shot at people at least 20 times and not him them only to find out they are behind a box I can’t see. Because of my low system settings, on certain objects I have WALLHACKS?! I don’t know what command did this… it might be a problem with my comp but I doubt it.
* Annoyances – You get recon radar after 3 kills and recon planes will do recon things for 30 seconds. This is *edited* if your team sucks and no one ever gets 3 in a row you don’t get radar at all on hardcore servers. 5 straight kills is artillary.. this isn’t so bad.. I’ve seen this before in UO although I hated it then too.. 7 straight kills you unleash dogs on the other team. These dogs are vicious and can jump on you once and klll you! If you ask me they are too strong and really annoying. On the other hand you can really rack up on points if you get a 7 kill streak.. like over 150 points every time if you play it right. Tanks are *edited* too… especially on SD (the de gametype of CS:S) where you blow up stuff. Noobs jump in them at the first of the match and then NEVER DIE.
In all it looks like to me it’s CoD4 with WWII models/maps/weapons and less ability to edit graphics settings. It is really fun and really addicting…. stupid game developers putting in XP… that’s what makes it addicting wanting to get to the next level all the time… I’ve played for two days and I’m at level 30. I hate / love it.
That’s all for now.
I’m now a level 50/65 and things are a bit easier.. unlocked a lot of weapons.
A lot of people are playing the prestige mode. I just recently learned what that is.. LOL.. I didn’t play CoD4. If you don’t know once you get to level 65 in multiplayer you can start prestige mode where you unlock a custom profile slot and you get a special star or medallion next to your name in the score tab. You then do this a number of more times (going though all 65 levels over and over again until you reach prestige of 10 unlocking all the custom slots and you get the uber nice medallion….
Kinda turned a fps into WOW if you ask me.. I can’t wait until PAM come out so I don’t have to worry about all that bs. For now though I’m playing through all the levels.. I might enter prestige mode but I don’t like the idea of LOSING ALL THE WEAPONS you earn in the first 65 levels over and over and over again.
The game is clearly made by the people who did CoD3 – Which also failed.
I’m not impressed with this game at all.
I’ll wait for the next ‘real’ CoD game.

You mean CoD5
And yes, it’s a safe bet that if the controls are slow and cumbersome the game was designed with consoles in mind. Halo2PC is extremely hard to control and is not user friendly at all, and we all know what it was really designed for. Still a great game, just not so much on PC.
I really think games convert much better from PC to consoles as opposed to consoles to PC.
