IMO, COD5 is going to suck. I went in with low expectations, installed the beta, and after playing a few minutes, it hit lower than low expectations. Graphics are sub-par despite having stronger requirements than COD4 (I know this is a beta, but honestly the COD4 beta was way better), and Punkbuster is a hassle.

I'll elaborate:

I have COD4 installed with Punkbuster, and it works just fine. I installed the COD5 beta, and I figured that since PB was installed with COD4, I wouldn't need it for COD5. I clicked 'no' on the option of installing Punkbuster, but now I'm getting kicked due to packet loss (even after enabling Punkbuster in the multiplayer options).

Does this mean that I have to have PB installed for COD5, even though it is already installed for COD4? I don't want to stop my COD4 gameplay for a limited beta. Help would be appreciated.

Try the PunkBuster updater. I don't see why anyone can see punkbuster is a hassle. Pb in theory should update itself but on occasion it doesn't, I just run pbsetup and it updates the pb client for all my games that use it and I dont get kicked anymore.

Bah, just played the beta on the 360... very meh. Running around with weapons from other countries feels stupid and grrr, how much damage does a tank need to take before it explodes? I hit a tank with 2 x tank shells and then it was either 1 or 2 rockets and it still wouldn't blow up. Plus you get the usual unpleasantness of very laggy gaming (but its like that for most 360 games so..). I dunno, perhaps I'll pickup the PC version when its abit cheaper. :(

And whats up with the Keifer Sutherland voice actor the americans? :p

Loving Keifer doing the voices.. Really cool IMO...

PC version seems to be better than the 360 version as far as gaming experience goes (having fun). I was like some of you at first. I came into it with a bad taste in my mouth because it was being done by Treyarch, and after my first couple of rounds playing I still felt that way, but the more and more I play it the more I enjoy it. I mean I am lvl 40 now (which is max for beta) and have just been going back and unlocking everything I can for weapons, and still having a blast, even though I get my butt handed to me sometimes because of the weapons I am using.. ALTHOUGH I must say that double barrel shotty is HAWT!!!

Invasion of the bodysnat..., wait, pirates!

:laugh:

I'll wait for reviews on this, I never completed COD4 anyway. Never got into MP either, but I know it's critically acclaimed.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
