Higher res textures, MSAA.

HookeyStreet · Nov 11, 2010

I do hate myself for liking the CoD titles. Big companies like Activision are raping the games industry

I posted an answer to this some time ago. In any case here it is.

------------
In other news JD 2020 was made a mod over at Steam and he stickied this thread. Use that as a means to get any sort of information as their main forum is currently down for some sort of maintenance (since yesterday from what I recall).

Okay - after a couple days of playing the game for short periods, I change my mind about "liking" this game. I have had it freeze and cause BSOD's on several occasions and am feeling ripped-off for paying $60.00 for this crap. When it is playable it is fun (I like the story line), but because of the many issues I wish I wouldn't have waisted my time and money

im not enjoying SP..... im tired of linear shooters and this one is full of ride on rail overused shooter mechanics

Looks better then what?! Its the SAME ENGINE.

Wait, are you serious? You know that several games uses the same engines, but improve them from time to time? Jedi Academy used the same engine as Quake 3 and looks tons better. Not to mention gamebryo.

I get your point, but you're wrong.

but does it run good? at gt470/hd5850 systems? it might run crappier than MW2 but it also lookst better. so thats not a surprise.

Runs completely great on my 5850 with Overdrive maxed out. 35-60FPS with every setting topped and vsync on. <--[Campaign, I have no experience with online play]

I love the game's visuals, I find myself constantly taking screenshots of the beautiful models, lighting, and vistas.

So there's this part in Vietnam, when you're with Woods and you have to swim under the water up to this boat with two VC in it, and you're supposed to stab them (I guess). Well I've tried this 6 times, and I can never get the dude without being spotted and having to start the section over. What am I doing wrong? I've even tried going on the other side of the boat so he shouldn't be able to see me.

DannibusX · Nov 12, 2010

I played some MP on my friends Xbox, and I enjoyed myself. I can't help get the feeling that it's a $60 expansion though.

I'm going to wait for a sale on the game, not that it'll save me much.

No slowdown on a GTX 460 1GB or two HD 5770s @ 1920x1080, max settings. Multiplayer seems to be fine (~90 to 100 ping, 2Mbps connection), Philippines.

because you got a 4 core cpu,i have 2 core and it is stuttering like a son of a biscuit

Cheeseball · Nov 12, 2010

Hmm.. I'm gonna drop my Phenom II X2 555 (3.2GHz) in and clock it up to 3.6GHz. Be back in a bit.

Seems like everyone have problems with stuttering in multiplayer, I don't think it's related to hardware.

ShiBDiB · Nov 12, 2010

apparently a patch came out? did it fix the lag?

Per the thread over at steam those with most with 4 cores experienced better results than those with just 2.

basically im bored and just got my yearly enlistment bonus payment so i have money to kill.. I loved MW2 MP on the PC... with the current state of the game is it worth purchasing for MP? I have the SP portion and didnt enjoy it all that much, but I dont enjoy any SP on FPS

Yes, the game is better for the most part than MW2 IMO. They just release the patch for STEAM and most of the issues are going away. I know there is still more patches because the game is buggy at times as well..

-UPDATE-

STEAM has finally updated a patch for everyone to download. Make sure you get your's too!

The only downside is sometimes the game still lags, almost had a crash, but it went away 5 seconds later, Kill Cam still laggy as hell, and lastly, longer loading times. But hey, I take what I got and at least this patch is working for me. Here is my Youtube video showing off the game after the patch.

W1zzard · Nov 12, 2010

the new patch fixed most of the lag issues. it's extremely playable now. dont forget to delete your "tweaks" that didnt work for fix the lag

AphexDreamer · Nov 12, 2010

Anyone have this for PS3? I'd love to get down and dirty with some TPUers.

Too bad you guys bought this. Activision should feel the hate for IWNET/MW2.

Funny its the same engine and its like 2 years old now but they still manage to break something for a lot of ppl

My copy was a gift. I did not even request it but since i'm nice I accepted it. Thats why its on the PS3

Otherwise I completely agree with you.

Yeah, cos the PS3 version is meant to be the worst looking (out of PC, 360 & PS3)

Well it looks as good as MW2 and that was good enough for me. I got MW2 because I enjoy playing COD with my friends and they aren't PC gamers and own a PS3 like me
