Call of Duty 2
-amazing graphics
-runs like a dream with everything maxed, 4xaa, af, with only the models at medium because the demo doesnt support anything higher
Randy Pitchford if you read this, be ashamed of sloppy coding in your game.

Do they play these kinds of games in Germany?
I always thought it'd be kinda funny if there were like bionic commando versions of games like CoD and MoH.

Why? It doesn't look that insanely amazing in terms of graphics?

The rig is AMD64 4000+, 2 gigs of ram and 2x6800 Ultra 265mb running in SLI mode. I tried it both in SLI mode and non-SLI mode. When in SLI mode I have the "Optimize for dual video cards" checked as well.
Something is afoot :(

not much new, graphics were OK, however I was only able to play in dx7 mode, without that forced the game would run for a few seconds and then show only a blue screen (no text there or anything..) - this is on a radeon mobility 9700. weird :-( it didn't look that great either (probably due to it running in dx7), good smoke and textures but no shadows or anything funky. It did run VERY well though.
Also no physics make me sad. Still lots of fun though!

Riding a stupid truck towards some town with planes flying over maneuvering in completely unrealistic and stupid ways. They look like moths randomly darting around the place.
Throw some cheap crappy pieces of dialogue then let the pointless battle commence.
AI soldiers with the intelligence of a nat are thrown at you. Shoot shoot, run , shoot. Yawn. Fart. Shoot.
This is such boring rubbish. These call of duty games are scripted by idiots. Can't someone teach them the benefits of giving your single player experience pace, tension, peaks and troughs etc? Cod2 (like cod) is just all random violence with zero thought put into the player experience.

When I first started it up, I made the mistake of trying to run it outside of the DX7 mode and was treated by about 10-15 fps. Changing it to DX7 didn't seem to alter the visuals much at all, and I was then cruising along at around 50-60 fps at 1280x960 on my geforce fx 5900. The contrast in speed was amazing, it felt like I was playing on completely different machine.
Nothing beats this for atmosphere. I just wish that BF1942 felt like this. COD2 would be incredible in multiplayer with massive maps like BF with tanks, flyable planes, boats, jeeps. etc.
Why don't they do it? The opening sequence of the demo proves that this engine can render large areas with smooth framerates.
Seeing how the game can run like liquid with so much going on at one time, it seems perfectly feasible for them to do an expansion to this game with a more robust multiplayer than UO.
Here's to hoping we'll see some really large multiplayer maps done with this engine.
GOOD JOB ACTIVISION!

I didn't like the first COD but man this game feels like you are in a war. The sound and graphics are just awesome. This may be one that I just infact pickup.
This is how to do a demo.

At 1200x1024 with 2 X AA and trillinear filter I was getting 14-20 fps with all the action. I'm very disappointed in my 9800XT and have now vowed that the 7800GT OC must be mine.
