Hurrah!

Might give me an excuse to reinstall it.

I didn't like COD much - in fact I believe the reasons why were contained in my first ever posting here.

Hey!

I just saw this post after replying to the BF1942 thread.

Thanks for including the link!

[Patrocles]

finally got CoD running and even managed a couple of online games serving as cannon fodder! ha ha

Thanks for the mod link! According to the site this mod is 65% complete.

I can't wait and it seems they are needing American and British voice actors too I think Im going to ask if they are still doing that.

I've looked but never found it since they moved everything around.

Dr. S, do the work for us and dig up your complaints about the game, I'm curious. :D

CoD was a great game however I am inclined to agree. The only major problem I had with it was its graphics (So did PC Gamer). They used the old Quake III engine.:crazy:

Its still a great game though.

HEAVILY modified quake III engine, they weren't that bad... But I do have to admit, they aren't the greatest.

And here's my comment, just in case.

I must be in the minority, I can't stand this game. Oh yes, undoubtedly it looks amazing and has some really great effects, but I just felt like I was on rails throughout the whole thing. It has this "illusion" of being freeform and allowing independent movement, but all the time there are objectives thrown at you which actually limit your options and what you are allowed to do.

Take a game like, I dunno, Jedi Academy, for example. Now there 's an FPS you can play exactly as you want to play - wander around the map, take out enemies in the order you want to take them out. Loiter around one area of the map for ages if you want, double-back on yourself, you can do what you want.

COD however puts you in a situation and throws objective after objective after you and made me feel like I was playing some sub-standard early arcade-type FPS like Rebel Assault or something (spot the Star Wars theme here!). In fact, with clumsy triggered events and enemies lining up, waiting to be prompted into action, it often feels just like an arcade game.

In addition, sometimes it seems like the player is the only one doing anything, and that’s unrealistic in a game that values teamwork so highly. The taglines advertising COD all state the virtue of the fact that you are not the only person fighting, you are part of a squad. Taking the Pegasus Bridge battles as an example -y our character is apparently the only one capable of taking out enemy tanks with an '88 or with a Panzerfaust, despite the fact that there are often other team-mates nearer these weapons than you!

I'm afraid I was very disappointed with this game which appears to rely solely on the fact that it looks amazing (and it does) but which has no real depth to it.

But that's just my POV.

Very valid points Doctor Sinister. I can see how that may turn someone off, but as you said, you are in the minority. Hopefully "Brothers in Arms" will take care of that one-man-war issue and from the videos it looks like your pretty free to accomplish objectives in whatever manner you please, within reason. It looks like a real winner (and the graphics look superb, Marines).

Meh its okay Doctor....
