your comparing a demo with a brief intro, to a full game with a complete story and wide range of scenarios/events/stories?

thats just silly...

Well yes I am. It does not say pre-release beta demo so I just assume it will be close to the real deal, with minor non so very fps affective changes beeing made until the final release. I doubt there will be any woho-ground-breaking-3d-engine-tweaks-every-body-gets-atleast-200-fps-running-non-hardware-settings....really... Very Happy yes I exaggerate but you get the picture. And how breif is the demo? It pretty much gives you all the elements in the game so far, water, forest hills and buildings. All these environment demanding different amount of power from you GPU. And I bet there will be even more demanding environment as the game progresses.

And as far as the story goes you might notice that I did not compare these, I just intended to compare graphic performance and how two separate but still similar games will be affected when implementing a shit load of nice graphics.

CoD4 is nice when it comes to graphics, and it's very playable at highest settings considering the amount of ongoing action taking place in a shooter at the same time. I still assume that Crysis will not be playable at the equal settings. So it means that graphics will ruin the overall game play no matter what the story is. Is it worth experience enormous lag just because you get in a fight with say 4 enemies in favor of mind blowing graphics? I say; it never is.
I'm using a 8800 Ultra card and it's no way near playability without lowering settings way below acceptable even tho the game tells me to use very high settings in default. What about people with even lower-end cards? Is the game intended only for a narrow range of xtreme gamers who are lucky to own Quad Extreme processors and Ultras at max overclocking speed and water cooling? if so that's the silly stuff

but what is there to compare? graphics? crysis is far superior. immersiveness? you cant compare based on a demo. story? your comparing a brief look to an entire game...


i can definately agree that cod is an amazing game, but you cant make any kind of realistic and reasonable comparison between the two when you havent even played one of the games.

i will say, that unless you have a monster pc, you wont get much of an enjoyable experience out of crysis though.

Well I think the gaming mass really took this Call of Duty release to their hart. Or let's say that you either hate it or love it, and I think more people love it than hate it.
The world war series can only be stretched so far.
Let's stretch modern warfare a bit too Smile
Made excellent in "World in conflict" just to mention a good story.

I have been longing for just a release like CoD4 since Medal of honor...
which ever came second. And given the fact that it's a fairly short game we should have some kind of expansion at the shelves really soon, right?
It would be a fair thing really. And a SMALL diet low carb update in the 3D engine without stretching things to Crysis-level (ok I'm picky again I know). Nevertheless it would really make me throw the green benjamins at activision for sure.

crysis runs better about 40fps here with 8800gtx at stock settings and quad @ 3.6GHz so seems like your cpu is reallylimiting you(thats all on high and 1900x1200). quad core Q6600 can be picked up real cheap so I dont see the argument about needing $3000 computer, thats just exaggerated rubbish. just my 10 cents if you are going to bemoan crysis. not installed COD4 yet, just about to though. but you cant compare apples to oranges as they say.

beat it today as well, tried some online and found out i really suck at MP cod...
single player was awesome though, so far this is IMO game of the year 2007. Lets see if crysis manages to beat it.

Anyone know what the point of the final mission and the picture with the four people at the end was? is the second person from the left supposed to be Soap?

Do you guys think there will really be an expansion out in the near future or if at all? Theres never been any expansion packs for earlier call of duty games. I hope there will be because i loved this game, i want more.

COD5 will be out in a year or two. The bad news is it will only take 12 minutes to play through.

Basically keep it pointed at the target and it should lock on...it does not do so directly, it will take 4-5 secs or so. You also need to be in an open space to fire. It should give you a warning if you are trying to fire from inside a room for example.
Keep the target in your hair cross, and it should lock on.

EDIT: Reread your post...no white reticule hey...hm mm, no idea.
Are you running the latest gracard driver there?

For those facing this problem -
ERROR: Could not find zone 'C:\DOCUME~1\*\LOCALS~1\Temp\zone\english\code_post_gfx.ff'

Uninstall the game then install it again using the default directory and settings, dont change anything on the installation - just click typical or regular or whatever its called
then it will work

I was inside, outside, waited minutes not seconds to lock on target and nothing.


Yes, i have latest catalyst drivers 7.10. Everything else works just fine. Only this Javelin doesn't have any cross and doesn't lock. No lock on target, no tank destruction, no playing this game further. Sad

Crap!. I just searched some forums to see if other guys have similar probs...so far nothing.
No idea man.
EDIT: Did you play the demo, and did it work then (the demo mission had the Javelin as well.)

you dont go into the game. Open all seeing eye after you have replaced the filters file posted in comments earlier in the thread, and then add a server to favorites in ASE by right clicking in the main white box, then connect that way.

Yes this is how it should be.

Is it possible that i upload my "players" map somewhere and you try it to see if you'll have the same problem?

Wow!...I guess. I think its not that but. Sounds/looks more like a prob in the actual game code (graphic overlay) rather then something with the map etc etc.
