its just a demo just wait intil the game comes out to judge it

A demo isn't like a beta; it shows off the best aspects of the game, to try and convince you to buy it. If a demo is pants, the full game wont be much better.

I thought "pants" was good?

$kelet0r · Sep 27, 2005

no pants is bad - very bad

i didn't like the first demo so i didn't buy it - linearity in a wide area level sucks 'why won't you let me flank the nasty germans?? D:'

Yeah, I don't give a **** about technological / graphical advancements...
I just want a good game to come around now and then.

And this looks like one of em.
Feels like CoD1 with sexier graphics, and I love that.
I personally think ragdolls are over-used / over-rated.
As soon as you seen an enemy drop down, and sit there with their feet twitching and their head the other way around, and their arms clipping through themselves... It just kills the effect.

Static-animation deaths are fine, and do their job well.

THANK YOU..at least somebody here agrees with me about the ragdolls and graphics.

:O so when my wife says "take off your pants" it's a bad thing? SHE LIED TO ME

btw the full sentence is "take off your pants I'm doing the laundry"

Freemanator89 · Sep 27, 2005

Friggin AWESOME! I mean the first one made me cream my pants, then this? What more can a ww2 fps fanatic ask for? ( Virtual reality :hmph: ) Anyway, the games graphics? Spectacular, ran super silky smooth on 1280 x 1024 2x AA all highest, and the gameplay blew me away once more, literally, like in my pants, :angel: . Then theres the Guns, Go Thompson! My favorite ww2 fps gun. Cheers :-D

KU_ · Sep 27, 2005

I got it, and enjoy it alot. It reminds me of CoD 1, but with much much better graphics....Which isn't bad at all. CoD 1 is to this day, my favorite WWII game, and among my top 5 favorite FPS's. I think I'll be preordering this one.

Freemanator89 · Sep 27, 2005

Word up, preordering this too

. Now on to more important things..hehe..

From thebestpageintheuniverse ---->

11. React so cutely when you hit him and it actually hurts.
See, this is what pisses me off about women: they expect special treatment at their discretion. They want equal rights, equal pay, and equal treatment for everything EXCEPT when it comes to shit like this, then they want you to "react cutely" instead of, say, putting them in a head lock and making them eat ants and/or spiders while you give them carpet burn.

LMAO!!!!!

BabyHeadCrab · Sep 28, 2005

it also appears to just be running on the q3 engine still :|

Try the option in GFX menu to make it DirectX 7 and it should run alot smoother? Quake 3 engine ? u kidding? u pumped up the GFX on it?

A.I. · Sep 28, 2005

Well, judging from the screens (but I'm dl-ing it right now), it's just the new clothing and new maps. That's it. Nothing revolutionary, just good ol' CoD. Meh... That's what happens to all good games sooner or later I guess...

Waiting for 1944.

bryanf445 · Sep 28, 2005

wow i just finished the demo and I must say I am soo impressed, I cant wait for this game to come out!!!

Yeah, surprisingly, my 9600XT runs the game fine. I'm running it at 1024x768, 2xAA and 2xAF, at DX 7 level (only real noticable thing between DX 7, and DX9 is the water, and HDR). The smoke clouds in the game look amazing.

even the menus feel exactly the same.. and there is no physics.. it feels just like a heavily modified quake III engine.

Maybe so ^, but it still looks exceptional, + gameplay makes anyone feel at home, from the die hard veterans of the CoD first game, to the noobies who still wipe their asses with wheel mouses. :naughty:

Uriel · Sep 28, 2005

Hey, new COD 2 huh? I think ill play it........ oh wait, ive got DoD:S. Screw that!

Loke · Sep 28, 2005

Still those "goofy" animations. Bah!

Nice graphics though, and the smoke grenades are at last effective.

Freemanator89 · Sep 28, 2005

Yeah, I dont have that game, can't enjoy everything in life i guess

so they plopped some nice shaders on top of COD.. why does this warrant me paying 50 dollars?

It doesn't man, but what I am trying to get at is that it looks great, it DOES play great, and its all about graphics for me (Imho), multiplayer like in the regular CoD was fun, but with all this new technology it'll bring the game out and and make it stand out more, you know?

BF2slut · Sep 28, 2005

I liked the demo alot, but

cons -
everything is ****ing bump mapped.. WHY? the player clothes look like concrete!
no ragdolls, the death animations aren't that great..

BabyHeadCrab · Sep 28, 2005

doesnt even look that great to me, looks like everything has saran wrap on it, I hate it when graphics look like that. not to mention the actually tech seems.. no different at all. I did however like the cinematic feel to it.. i'm just sour b/c I get bad fps D:<

operative x · Sep 28, 2005

No wonder they didn't release any Firstperson shots of the game before:x I can't believe im actually saying this but the game doesn't look very good at all.

destrukt · Sep 28, 2005

there are gameplay videos of cod2 (on xbox360) which have been on the net for 1 week+, one of the videos is the actual demo (pc one) being played, and covers about 70% of it.

Oh, I was talking about the game 1944: D-Day. It's mod for HL2 is among top ten mods among moddb, which is coming out this year.

And it's worthy to keep an eye on BiA: Earned in Blood.

TIIMMYY · Sep 28, 2005

Anyone think the thompson and any other guns made of metal look really....strange?

Maybe its just me but the texture just doesnt look right

gick · Sep 28, 2005

Just finished playing the demo and WOAH was that good. Brief but good.

Mr.Mesa · Sep 28, 2005

Loved that- has everything I loved about the first COD plus more.

Really immersive play, great sound and great graphics.

halflifeguy · Sep 28, 2005

i thought it was pretty sweet.............and TIIMMYY is right...........weapons made out of metal do look a little strange..........o well

Freemanator89 · Sep 28, 2005

Lol, the games great, i'm buying it the minute its out, or rather hour, (Need ride, dammnit) Also can't wait for the X1800 card to come out,

chu · Sep 28, 2005

I played the demo. Definitely has the CoD feel. AI seems like crap though. I would think that if someone throws a grenade at you and it lands at your feet you would run, not go into the fetal position and thus meetign your end.

I loved the smoke effects, that was the highlight for me. I will most likely pick this one up since I am desperate for some new games.

edit: It also feels very consolized. If it had been made for PC only it would be so much better.

CR0M · Sep 29, 2005

shat tastic

incidentally, on my home machine (6800 ultra *GS* latest driver/1gb/ 3200+/dx9c), it ran at a speedy 1-5 fps on all resolutions above 1024x768, which strangely ran fine. Which is a bugger when you have a native 1280x1024 tft.

clarky003 · Sep 29, 2005

lol, i dont know why the framerates get so bad over 1024x768.. it really suffer's, I hope they sort that out. That clipping is horrible, but funny never the less.

DoctorWeeTodd · Sep 29, 2005

That was awesome, it really captured the chaos of being on the frontlines.

My 9800 ran it smoothly but whenever I got hit (well most of the time) the redness that supposed to be surrounding me gets all glitchy. It's pixelated and "rainbowized".

I didn't even notice the absence of ragdolls until my fourth replay. The real thing I'm irked about is the "shininess" of the people's faces, theres barely any texture on them!

Fishlore · Sep 29, 2005

YES!!! Another linear, WWII, FPS; just what I've always wanted. LOL, yeah right. You'd think that people would start getting bored with the same types of games over and over and over that offer nothing new gameplay-wise but have slightly better graphics. *Reads the thread again* Well maybe not.

jocky68 · Sep 29, 2005

tremendous.

Heh, you see all other WW2 guns were warping your minds! The guns had lots of plastic parts on the exterior (this is also found in DoD:S where you can see some guns where it's plastic). Just realism really, but it looks strange since you are so used to all the other "guns are metal" textures in every other WW2 game, even though they were all incorrect.

But they dont look plastic..they look all purpleish, especially the thompson.:rolling: :imu:
