Hope the game isn't just a graphic whores game... ← First off, this is not pointed at you directly Arms, just a personal POV. I find it very finny that I always see stuff like " oh no, not another WWII shooter" but NEVER EVER see "Oh no, not another post appocolyptic, save the human race, invading aliens sci-fi/fantasy shooter" comments. Personally, If a game is fun and good then I don't mind most subject matter, but I prefer Military based games. There is just as much... no... more rehashed save the human race/alien junk out there as there is WWII. Again, not pointed at anyone in particular. -John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arms 0 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) Actually im saying "Or do you mean another pointless WW2 shooter???" because (like you said) im seeing this kind thing being said often now. Anyways im a WW2 nut and always happy enough to see different WW2 based games. About the "Oh no, not another post appocolyptic, save the human race, invading aliens sci-fi/fantasy shooter", i think this is because well these themes are more 'diverse' and provide more 'flexibility' plus can relate to many people more than something like WW2 themed game. Me thinks. Edited September 27, 2005 by Arms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pz3 338 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Its more like Oh no linear gameplay.... I dont know if it is... im just getting tired of pointless linear shooters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stalker_Zero 0 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 All right dang nabbit! Somebody post a review of the demo!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I hope it is good. I to am tired of the pointless, story-less shooter. It seems that most games theese days, themed or not, are coming out with either no story-line at all, or the story-line is so thin and thread bare that it may as well not be there at all. That's where in the mid to late 90's the PC game shined. The games had great stories to follow. You weren't just running around blowing ###### up just for the sak of blowing things up. Take Rainbow Six and Eagle Watch as a prime example. They had great storylines that kept gamers interested and immersed in the game. After that, even Rogue Spear started to decline. The Unreal series is another prime example. Unreal had a great storyline. That series also started going down the toilet as the stories got thinner. Look at the Wing Commander series. 1-4 followed an awesome storyline, and all 4 of them really immersed you into the game and universe that you were playing in. That storline carried on through the Privateer games which were also awesome. Wing Commander 5 had no story basically, leaving it out of major sales. Freelancer. Another great story based game. Very popular. Games today for the most part, lack immersiveness. It's fun to play them for about a week. Once people have seen all the eye candy, they are bored and move on. They need to bring the creativeness and immersiveness back to gaming. It seems like developers only care now about eye candy and speed. It seems that the only reason they are making games is to push the hardware envelope. Everything else is lost. JMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin 0 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Well its not bad not bad at all, sounds are good. Drop off point is great. But again you are manouvered into small spaces. But still the demo is fun. A bit hard on the ears, but thats WAR. Colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snake@War 0 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 +It sounds a lot like the original, but even louder and more confusing. (Which is AWESOME) +It has support for multiple GPUs. +Force DX7 mode is awesome! Really helps the frame rate. (Frames don't drop below 35fps on my rig. +GFX rock! +Enemies are no longer scripted to target specifically you. -Gameplay is still linear -Certain enemies won't die unless the player shoots them. -Gameplay is still heavily scripted.

Cpl Ledanek 247 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Just curious if anyone else is suffering with this. After completing the game, I started having double vision. I'm playing with a Samsung Syncmaster 712n LCD 75 hertz, GTS 6600 GT SLI, 7.7.3 driver. I played the game at 1024x768 AA 4x pretty much max the settings. Went to take a break and watched some tv. Then went back to the PC, even though less, the double vision was still there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At first I really thought maybe its the SLI cards cause there was an option I believe in the settings, which I wasn't expecting. Now its more like ghosting. Hmm. I played HL2, BF2, and Serious Sam 2 demo before playing COD2 demo. I didn't experience any. Maybe I'll rest my eyes tonite. B Been looking at CT Scans at the hospital all day too.

CR6 0 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Its almost gone now. Maybe its the new glasses. Will try my old glasses. Even if it's getting better, see a doc ASAP, an opthamologist if possible (not the guy that sells you glasses) Read this article here with info from Harvard Medical School: http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/9339/9843.html Note pretty much all causes of double vision that have a sudden onset are BAD. This double vision happened to my father-in-law and they later figured it was a small stroke that paralyzed one of the small muscles around one eye - 1 year later, after he stopped taking his aspirin, he had a major stroke paralyzing one side of his body.

pz3 338 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 yeah seriously, double vision is never good. I get blurred vision some times but its usually when my eyes are straining Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cpl Ledanek 247 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Did any of you guys experienced any side effects with your other games after installing the COD2 demo? My FarCry started getting all choppy. I tried adjusting the settings from Low to Auto setting. No dice until I completely uninstalled the COD2 demo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moose 0 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 The demo is way too easy in my opinion. I've been playing it on Veteran just to get enough resistance from the germans. That's the highest grade and there's 4 of them. The good news however is that no tactical game has ever kicked my ass like how COD2 does it whenever I do something stupid or rambo around.

Infinity Ward Software Engineer Jason West: On the tech side one of the main changes would be the size and non-linear gameplay added to each of the levels. On the D-Day level, the trench system, whether you go straight, left or right it'll be entirely different which adds a lot of replay-ability to each of the levels. And the objectives can be completed in any order which has really opened up the tactics and strategy this time around. Edited October 2, 2005 by Arms Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snake@War 0 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 The demo CERTAINLY isn't open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sup 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 2xaa and the highest settings available all around (normal on most), 800x600 ran amazingly on my new computer. And the demo's excellent. First on my list of purchases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
