Terrible spawning. Thankfully that should be relatively easy to fix but right now it's piss poor.
Yeah, I've found the spawns to be just as bad as they are in COD4, if not worse. I've never been spawned in the middle of my own airstrike in COD4, but I spawn-killed by my own artillery.

ok the voices are getting annoying now.

OUT RECON PLANE WILL FIND THEM!

OUTFUCKING STANDING MARINES OUTFUCKINGSTANDING!
You also can hear all the in-game chatter from your team and the opposing team. I don't like the idea my character shouting, "RELOADING" or something and giving away my position.

I actually like the vocal characters. One of the best things about COD3 was friendly AI calling out enemy locations with some great detail. Some of that has carried into COD5, with characters shouting "They're shooting through the walls," or "The Hut! They're in the hut!" I think it's a nice touch, especially when people don't communicate using the mic.

Sutherland is starting to grate though.

If it works I'll go right ahead and take XT4PD-RK93P-2X8F9-YM8JT-JFHFB.
 
Christ, the voices ARE annoying.

I only played for 20-30 minutes last night and it feels like COD4 but...not as polished somehow? Something's a little off...

Once you get past the first hour or so, it starts to feel much better. I found it took time to adjust to the weapons.

Also is Kiefer Sutherland doing the voices?
The dogs being annoying proves they're wicked. Wait until you're using a bolt-action rifle, actually get 7 straight kills, and then follow your little hellions to their targets through your scope. That's when you will realize the dogs are fuckawesome.

Regarding Keifer, yeah, he's the voice of the Marine Raiders CO during MP and I believe he's a SP character too.

This actually works. My flatmate is downloading as we speak.
 
Game is pretty awesome I have to admit, as someone who was like 'no more WW2 shooters' but I think I'm going to get it.

I LOVE the dogs they are so awesome, and It's not that hard to kill them with the knife and is actually quite fun. The only problem is if they spawn next to you then yeah it's kind of tough to take out several.

I'm not a big fan of the artillery strikes though, air strikes were much better but the sound effects are great.
 
It's pretty good, much better than COD3 MP anyway, it feels like COD4 with a different skin though. Not that it's a bad thing but I was expecting a little more. Framerate is solid, graphics look good, sound is awesome (except for the lame voices).
I can see the community has passed me by though, I was able to hold my own in COD4 when it came out and do pretty well (top 4-5 for every map), I regularly came in the bottom 3 in COD5 in my 3-4 plays though I guess some of it may be that I was the lowest level with no perks and hadn't a clue about the maps.

I'm still buying the game because I'm a COD fanboy
 
i got my email last night from COD.com. Overall it's pretty good. Not as good as CoD4. Visuals are fine, maps are decent, dogs are surprisingly fun, but the weapons are just awful. I don't mind the voice acting either. tanks suck too.
 
God, I hate this shit.

GAF-user Duck gave me a 48h-code so I could download the Beta over my Austrian account, but it still does nothing. It seems as if you have to use a gold account. :(


WTF is this shit? I got a new token from Callofduty.com (don't know why), put it in and got the same (not working) code as yesterday..
 
Called Microsoft and asked if they somehow banned or blocked this beta in Germany and according to them Germany will get a (if at all) cut beta. So I'm not able to download the beta via my German account....

:(

So, does someone still have a 1 month gold card left?
 
Fuck this fucking spawns, worst fucking spawns ever created in an FPS, especially in the Castle level. FUCK!

I know it's a decent game but I also know that if it was IW or any other developer using all these resources that was given to them, they would have made a much much better game, an example of a dumb design choice is why are you able to shoot bullets through windows but you can't shoot RPG through them, aren't they suppose to break? what generations are we in where glass isn't destructible?

Also they fucked up the running and the animations, the health is much lower now, easier to die from just one bullet, pretty fucking retarted.

/rant and a meltdown.

The more you play this game the more flaws you will find with it, the more you will realize how mediocre these devs are, especially when they were given such a great piece of technology to work with and managed to fuck it up at the end.
 
^^^ It's a beta. When cod4 came out the hit detection wasnt very good and when the host dropped out the whole match would end.

If you think the health is too low just pick the juggernaut perk although you will hear the endless 'juggernoob!' insults but it actually makes me laugh.

So that link worked perfectly, but when I went to download, SURPRISE! Memory full. Deleted some shit, and now the code is invalid.

Thanks a lot, MS

Matches still end when the host drops out in CoD4. Hit detection is just lag.

I doubt the final game will be any different than what we see in the Beta. The fact that they locked majority of the guns and perks sort of gives it away that this Beta is nothing more than a multiplayer tease to build interest.

The only things they can do is minor tweaks such as the amount of damage per bullet similar to what they did with the M4 in CoD4 Beta where the M4 was essentially a M16 on Automatic fire and the damage was reduced in the final game.
 
God I loved the beta at first but the more I play the more I hope they fix. There are already loads of ways to get up on places Treyarch didn't intend for you to go and a nasty glitch on Roundhouse that allows you to get under the map. So basically every game on that map tards down to just trying to rush the glitch spot to stop the other team from getting in, or completely avoiding one side of the map if they do get in.

On top of that, the hit detection is terrible. I know part of it is just COD4 had ridiculous weapons that didn't have realistic recoil but there are times when someone is just STANDING there looking away from me and I shoot from a bolt rifle or a regular rifle 3-4 times before they even move and maybe if I am lucky 1 will hit them.

The respawn problem is even more of a problem here than COD4 because this game doesn't seem to spawn you near your teammates. That and apparently there aren't many spawn points. I've already played a few TDM games against entire clans who apparently have the spawn points memorized. Too many times you just spawn right in front of enemies who are all too happy to mow you down before you can even move.

Lag is still in the game and it seems more of an issue than COD4. When you have 2 bars in this game your play really, really suffers. That and they didn't fix the host migration problem. How can a PS2 franchise (SOCOM) still to this day have the best host migration setup? Ridiculous.

I'm sure the game will still be good and this IS just a beta but these are known problems with COD4... seems strange that they would not only not fix them but in some cases make them worse.
 
Friend of mine who's a big CoD fan was complaining a lot yesterday that the bolt-action wasn't a 1-hit kill. As I recall, in CoD2 and 3 a solid body shot from a bolt-action was a kill, but they seem to have gimped them in this one.

Well a scoped bolt action rifle can easily take someone down in 1 shot. Just depends on where you hit them and whether or not they have juggs on. I'm glad they nerfed it if you aren't using a scope, but it should be a mostly 1 shot kill with a scope and 2 shots without one. Requiring you to hit someone with it 3-4 times without a scope just makes it useless.

Once you have the scope, it's generally a one-hit kill -- which is strange compared to the regular iron sights where it can take 2-3 shots to kill someone.

I'm someone who almost exclusively uses BA rifles, and it can get frustrating. Every attachment but the rifle scope is basically useless in this regard, and thinking you can go into CQ combat with the thing is a death wish.
 
Hey if anybody has any codes leftover, could I please have it :D

I've tried to register on the call of duty website but it's getting hammered.

pm me please.........thanks
 
HugBasket said:
shouldn't they reward players who can use a long distance gun without a scope instead of gimping them?
I say it's a toss up. If they really do have a solid ballistics and accuracy model in the game, maybe the rifles are really accurate, it's just that we're too accustomed to moving while shooting, and therefore, shots are landing on limbs instead of the torso.

Still, it feels terrible as a player, when I'm crouched, and am required to shoot a stationary target 2-3 times to down them without the scope.

If anyone has a spare code that would be nice, I claimed the one posted above but by the time I have gotten home and tried to use it, it looks like someone else has used it. boo.

Not to sound like a sheep but...Anyone have a spare?

Been a COD4 player since release and would love to give this a shot to see if it is worth picking up.

Thanks. :D
