Call Of Duty: WAW Beta preload!

Its a good game once you get into it. The only map worth playing is castle though, the other 2 beta maps are some of the worst maps I've ever played on.
 
Graphics look 10x better on PC than on Xbox even just from looking at those screenshots.
360 is blurred/pixelated and you have to sit way back.
 
I dont get this game at all really, cod4 you had unlockable weapons, fair enough you;re using factions that are somewhat exagerrated so their arsenal wasn't set in stone. This game however you have the weapons all mixed up, i understand that unlocking the proper weapons is one of the main gimmick bandwagons the cod franchise has latched onto but it makes no sense in a ww2 era game.

Just looks stupid having a mish mash of weapons from a couple of countries at the beginning. Only reason they done this is so they can increase the number of unlocks. :rolleyes:
 
hmm cant change res frmo 1024 to my normal 1680 just drops to desktop and the cod5beta.exe runs in taskmanager only
 
These unlocks are also dumb, for the top level you get.....an m1 carbine.. Youd think you would get something better than that peashooter.
 
Meh, what a crappy experience :(

Reminds my of why I quit playing BF2...

1) Punkbuster running 24/7 for a game I'll probably play 1% of the time my pc is on. No thanks.

2) Open server list, click join server, sort by ping, click join, get booted 'This server is only for low ping players' wtf, mine was under 30.

3) Try again, get into a server to watch the round finish, yawn... spawn run like 10 meters, duck behind cover and get killed with a headshot, 'you'll spawn next round'

4) Back to server list to find a game that I can respawn during a game, kicked again for having a ping under 30...

Quit.

Waste of time, must be my age or something but I get so fed up with games where I seem to spend most of the time trying to find a server to play on that's not full of uber players who can headshot you from a mile away while vaulting over a wall and having a knife fight with three other players.

I suck at online fps :)
 
From what i read, only the punkbuster update is running all the time, the main punkbuster program only runs when it gets called to run by the game. You can even disable the constantly running parts of punkbuster by turning off the service.

If you dont like being killed so quickly and having to wait till next round, dont play that game mode. I think its only search and destroy that forces you to wait till next round before respawning.

It doesn't need to be run 24/7 :p Guessing thats just the update

Hmm I dont really get this much so not sure

3) Try again, get into a server to watch the round finish, yawn... spawn run like 10 meters, duck behind cover and get killed with a headshot, 'you'll spawn next round'

That'll be the gametype Search and Destroy, you can change it. It's the most 'professional' gametype probably but its not for everyone and it's best in clan matches really pub isnt always fun.


And I think the finding server thing is probably just because its beta. Everyone knows how royally bad BF2s server browse was/is and CoD's was bad for a while but the long waiting/server connection issues are most likely just beta problems.
