Whos played it?


Personally, I think its not finished at all. The concepts good and it looks stunning but the movement is buggy (when you press shift to run, you have to let go of W to stop running) just little things like that make it very hard to like.

The maps given for the beta are nice but again, really buggy, I got stuck under a hut and had to wait for the round to end cause no one could see me to kill me.... Plus the maps given were proper SMG maps, i'm a good rifle sorta guy, I like to pick people off and slowly move around the back but no, seems to get into a decent flow you have to run and spray..


6/10 for me.

Yeah the MP seems a lot more polished as in maps wise its how you'd expect a WW shooter to be the guns are good and that.. Oh and you get to go in a tank and shoot people down ( I think its the new killing spree extra) and instead of helicopters you "send out the dogs" and they go round and munch people to bits BUT they're easy to kill, you can knife them and get +3 XP.

I mean its not a bad game at all but its out in 15 days .. they need to do a lot of work to please CoD4 players I thinks, otherwise they won't get people changing to CoD5 very fast!

Yeah, a work mate is playing the Beta. He said it's awesome when the dog come out, because they run straight for the enemy and everyone follows them.

COD4 online has absorbed 9 days of my life since last November. I expect this one'll do about the same.

Playing it a bit more now must say I was quick to judge its one of those ones where if you don't know the maps you'll just think everyone is running and spraying.

Gotta say the round house map is win.

I'd download if your PCs could run it.

Can get a beta key at www.callofduty.com just sign up and you'll get a beta key

^ make sure you reach minimum specs and then re-install if you do, might be a corrupt install.
