[Smashing Pumpkin]

I cannot wait for this game to release as I have played COD4 and loved it. I don't have COD4 though so I will be looking to pick this one up!

[GrimReeper]

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

[SMELTN]

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!!!

The "No Free Entities" error is really starting to get on my nerves.

[SMELTN]

[LOC Veteran]

Yeah but you guys get it on the 14th or the 18th don't you? That isn't that bad really. Could be like some other games where it's delayed a month or more :|

For those of you who have yet to pre-order and plan on purchasing the game, Amazon is offering a $10 gift card upon purchase of COD5.

[SMELTN]

Your loss :laugh:

[Sethos]

About to give it a whirl, hope Treyarch learned a thing or two from Call of Duty 4's Single-Player! Will post some impressions later.

[Draken]

Yup, plays much better than COD 3 :D

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

You know Draken, you don't need to post an image everytime a game leaks. A simple comment will do.

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.

[Sethos]

Mine is an advance review copy, I don't pirate games.
