1st cod 2 review - Page 2

I've never been able to run a game "optimally", so I'm not worried about it. The demo ran fine for me on passable settings, so I'm happy with that.

I know I'm never gonna be able to run anything at gerv-like quality, so I've resigned myself to that fact.

I should have rephrased optimally. That meaning max settings with decent framerate.

So using grenades to damage the enemies is now rendered pointless, if you don't get a kill right away their health goes back up and theyre unharmed.

I say again

it use to take 14 nades to kill someone anyway.

eek:

Even if it idn't kill them it still done damage that didn't regenerate and made them easier to kill. in this its bullshit that you can get 99% of your health taken of and it'll regenerate in a few seconds.

Single players pretty linear to me. Seems to be every mission is shoot germans, take objectives then repel germans from taking it back from you.

Gotta love the 20,000 lines of combat dialogue they said they put in the game, sounds more like they copied 2 sound files both saying "mg42 ahead", and "thats an mg42, copied them 19998 times then stuck them into the sound folder. I must hear those lines used 20 times a mission at least and it got sleeping: after the first 30 uses.

The real kicker to me is the game performs like SHITE at high res with any form of antialiasing applied, and id love to know where the fuck the performance is being sucked to. No physics or anything to worry about, game looks "ok" at best not that much of a boost over the older cod imo.

Then again it goes without sayin that most likely this is some form of an xbox 360 portover or at the very least has been coded to run better on that so we prtty much get shafted in that respect.

I'm actually digging the SP missions. I'm playing them at pretty mediocre settings, but I still the game looks great. I guess I'm just not as picky.

The Russian missions were cool, but a little short. The Brits are at least comical with MacGregor, and the US missions are kicked off nicely by Pointe du Hoc. Geting off the rope and advancing is a bit of a bitch! Pretty chaotic stuff.

I've only played the MP once and liked it. There are a few too many icons floating around though. Mods will take care of that soon enough, I imagine.

i liked the sp too .... brit missions kind of sucked dongs but the russian / americans were fun

MudMarine · **Thinking of buying COD2 -** 11-22-2005, 03:55 PM

I have COD and CODUO, I also have MOHPA and MOH warchest. I had to upgrade my graphics with a GeForce FX5500oc/256mb PIC card to play MOHPA. I am thinking of purchasing COD2 or should I save my money?

Here is my system:

System Manufacturer: eMachines, Inc. T2245
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.20GHz
Memory: 512MB RAM
HD 40GB and slave 200GB
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
GeForce FX5500oc/256mb PIC card
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition ,Service Pack 2

Will this machine operate COD2 or will I have to consider more upgrades?
If so which would I be better off doing buying the upgrades or a PS2 or Xbox 360?

You can run COD2 if you turn all the effects off and run in dx7 mode, which basically makes it CoD1.

Nah, I ran it in that and still thought it looked awesome. My computer cant handle the demo without it.

useing dx7 it still looks good..but im geting 200fps ..

the only way i can see running this game with the setings on high ..is with a fx 56 and a pcix 7800gtx ..and about 4 gigs of ram ..these people dident just want you to upgrade your computer ..thay wanted you to throw it out the window and buy a new one
