Main thing that is ****ing me off, is the lack of spawn point. You've got a map bigger than Cod4's countdown, and there are only 4 spawn points per side.

I've ost count i've spawned inbetween two enemies and been killed instantly, only to be forced to sit fr 15 seconds to respawn, i do respawn, killed, sit and wait again.

Also the amount of times it has spawned an enemy in our base on capture the flag. Now that IS just rediculus.

Apoptosis: I have a 6.1 surround set and I have never heard anyone sneak up behind me in Call of Duty 4 when they weren't sprinting. Even back in the days where I had my 360 hooked up to my PC monitor and had to use my headphones / headsets I heard nothing ( High-end Sennheisers ) So I guess you need special hardware to hear it which imo is a flaw with the game. I think it was me who mentioned something about butchering, I just wondered if treyarch had butchered the recipe which I can see they haven't ... They just copied it directly.

I will be getting the 360 version for sure. The PS3 controller is horrible for FPS games coupled with the fact that voice on the PS3 is crap. Some people are too loud, some you can't hear, others have some crappy microphone and some have constant static ... Really is the big flaw of using an 'open' standard and letting users buy their own headsets.

And I do agree with King Antonius. I haven't had that many problems with spawning but sometimes you do spawn behind enemies and they spawn behind you, really annoying when you spawn in an artillery zone or right next to a pair of dogs.

I agree with the problems of requiring special hardware (for the record, if you have turtle beach headphones, or good surround sound headphones then you'll hear it all).

Has anyone played multi-bomb S&D? How does that work?

I completely forgot about the beta :( I guess I wont be getting it :p

I'll still be looking forward to the game though :)

Not to late to register at EG (released tomorrow morning allegedly) or pre-order at GAME (and then cancel your order :shiftyninja:)

So I finally hit Rank 11 after what, an hours play time?

There is nothing wrong with the game itself, everything is working just fine and the entire game is a proven recipe which is also the problem. Feels more like an expansion pack and nothing else, I just don't have that "Oh I want to play another round" or "Wow, I love this game!" moments because I feel as though I tried everything before. I will probably get the game because I loved Call of Duty 4 but I still played that game way too much for this game to feel "new". I also still have my doubts regarding to the single-player campaign because a) it's treyarch developing it, they seem to make some extremely boring and generic single-player experiences b) it's the pacific side of World War 2. I love WW2 but the pacific war is really boring in my opinion :p

But the co-op is really a huge plus for me no matter how bad the single-player campaign is ( Like Halo 3 ) always turns out to be loads of fun but multiplayer will only last a solid month or two.

Then a thing I absolutely hated about Call of Duty 4 was, there is no footsteps when you aren't sprinting ... why?! So annoying when a soldier can sneak up behind you even though he is running with like 20-30 pounds of equipment, really ****es me off. Sorry just had to get this in, it's still annoying me big time :laugh: Hate having to constantly check my surroundings with a controller, tires out the thumbs extremely quick.

Oh and another small thing which might just be me but there is something iffy about the rifles. At 50ft or 2ft the bullet travel time is the same. So annoying when you have a guy RIGHT in front of you and you still have to compensate for travel time, what the hell?!

I agree with everything bolded there, basically sums it up for me.

Looking forward to co-op as i have NO IDEA how that could work in a WW2 game :laugh:

Had to boot up the laptop just to add something I forgot.

What is it with those weapon sounds? They have no oomph whatsoever! Why does every weapon have to sound like a starving African child hitting some tin-cans with a broken wooden spoon? Call of Duty 4 also suffered from this with some of the weapons but it's even worse now. World War 2 weapons made a ton of noise.

Argh ****ing tell me about it, they've captured the WW2 scene perfectly, apart from the weapon sounds! I was using a rifle earlier and it was like ''click click click''.

CoD4 weapon sounds were the ****.

That is exactly what I want to test out if I can get a key for the beta. I was an avid player of COD 4 as well and I also have been quite outspoken in this post about just how much COD 5 is exactly like COD 4.

Are any sites still giving out keys?

I would like to know this as well, apparently my two entries have not come through yet, and can I even try through Eurogamer?

Why the hell couldn't they have added at least one Hardcore mode, sick of this regular crap.

Been playing hardcore mode ever since it was released for Call of Duty 4, going back to regular mode is a royal pain in the ass. Game feels so ADHD in its regular form! Everything is just chaos, constant chaos.

"ARG SHOT IN THE BACK, 50 DOGS OH NOES ARTILLERY, 700 RECON PLANES OH NOES 200 GRENADES, BANG BANG BANG!!!!11" Give me tactical damnit!

    • Meta is reusing old DDR4 RAM in its servers instead of buying new hardware

      The fact that memory in general is so high I have to take a loan out to build a computer now is just beyond stupid. Who's really to blame here? Low supply or high demand?
    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

Regular Updates – Community-driven development with new features and fixes. WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "over a thousand engineering hours" and started selling it but could not take a couple of minuets to send an AI email to ask permission. What an expensive lesson.
