Did he just ruin the fucking ending?!

i hope not. i had to read it to spoiler tag it.

he was either spoiling it, OR he was giving an analogy which was very similar to a spoiler anyway.

fusionblu: i have no idea if what you said was actually a spoiler, but i tagged it anyway.

if you seriously spoiled the ending of the game, then i am going to have to do very, VERY bad things to you in your sleep.

I be honest with you the fact is it is and it isn't a spoiler. To make it clear it is a referance to a spoiler which I really was surprised about in the game's story, something that would surprise most people and is probably a first in the COD games I've played (which would be MW2 and World at War).

P.S: What I said isn't really the ending, but towards it, you will see.

Go to bed !

LOL

(It wasn't my intention to spoil anything for anyone, I thought 99% of the posters in this thread had already played the game...)

"Bwahahahaha at the textures."

"agreed.... those images look terrible."

All i'm going to say is. :

"WTF? Why are your playing the game at such shitty graphics with a 980X and HD5870?
I played the game on a 4870 yesterday and it runs smooth with much better graphics. And why do you want 125FPS? "

Fellas, I'm just trying different settings to see if there is any improvements in gameplay. Do I get speared for that?

Kinda seems that way, doesn't it? lol.

But I see what they are saying. They're just saying that you don't actually benefit from 125fps (unless you have a high refresh CRT, your name is Steve Austin, and your body cost $6,000,000), so there is no need to lower detail so much.

So, they are saying it was a dumb idea to test it out? All ideas have been tried and there is no need for experimentation? Silly me...

No, they aren't saying that, they are just saying not to leave it that way.

And they are just breaking your balls anyway.

Don't take things so seriously.

well not totally, but yes. just because that idea wasn't great doesn't mean "all ideas have been tried"

imo, even if it ran a little better it looked absolutely horrible. i see no information to have been gained by it.

I would have said nothing but this response i've quoted just felt so...snarky. you can't blame people for thinking it's a dumb idea. show us something of value that came from it and i'll change my mind.

MW2 was a piece of dung and WaW was boring. I still haven't bought MW2, because it is still $60. I'll buy it when it's $20. Zombies do not add great excitement for me. Yeah, it's ok sometimes, but doesn't add any real value to a game.

I hope BO is better than the last 2 releases. CoD4 was the last good one.

I put it between COD W@W and COD 4. They got rid of some of the ridulous crap. The single player so far reminds me of a cross between those 2 games. So far it is OK in my eyes. Still like Battlefield for MP though.
I read on an earlier thread you can set up LAN games through there servers. That would be impossible as only one person can be logged on to an account at once. You defenitely can't play on their servers if you are logged out like you have to do for COD 4 games.

Trying these settings now. Framerates down, but not as low as original.

New settings and framerates back up to 125+ fps...

Turn your anistropic filtering all the way up. It shouldn't really hit you that bad. AA is the real killer. Also, lower your FOV a little. You're getting somewhat of a fisheye effect going on, plus the game has to render more when your FOV is so high.

Not a lot, but some at least. The game doesn't look too awful bad on normal.

Use png for screen shots, and host them on techpowerup.org
Don't attach them to the post.

overclocking101 · Nov 15, 2010

i get major memory leaks with this game anyone else have this problem??

Boneface · Nov 15, 2010

When i was running 1 or 2 of my cards i was getting a bit of lag/stutter, my buddy with 2 gtx580s was getting the samething, once we turned shadows off and left the rest cranked up the problems were gone, game runs so smooth!

smallish res but much better imo, less jaggies and blurs

Wile E · Nov 15, 2010

Are you resizing?

Don't do that. Set fraps to use png, and just upload the raw png. Don't resize, crop or anything.

Wrigleyvillain · Nov 15, 2010

Well I have to say the SP story line does sound pretty cool and I am impressed but I still am not going to buy this. At least not now at full price.

the thing is, cod games are notorious (to me at least) for keeping full price for a long time.

mw2 is still $60 in most places

Wile E · Nov 15, 2010

Don't use photobucket. It resizes.

Use www.techpowerup.org

Wile E · Nov 15, 2010

Really? Damn, that's a huge png.

Will http://www.freeimagehosting.net/ work?

lol. That works I suppose.

Look a little better, but still seems amiss for some reason. Maybe just a shitty map?
