Yeah no shit, I'm just giving additional info, if you don't want it I'll stop.


I wasn't trying to be an ass to you, I was just making a statement. However, yes... thank you for providing us with additional information...

Anyways, I'll be picking this up next week Wink

Actually LAN mode also checks your ping, I guess that's protection against hamachi, highest ping allowed it seems is 50.


I tested the game on a physical LAN (Coop Mode) it doesn't work, I unplugged the internet and got the same error (key taken, bla bla) obviously using a Keygen.

Sadly there's no confirmation about this being on Steam whatsoever. But it was the same with CoD4, it just popped on Steam without a warning if I remember correctly.

Fucking game crashes every time I tab out, and then I need to restart the mission. Getting quite bored by it.

Was surprised by the gore once I got my first MG. Razz

go ahead and try to alt-tab out of any (quake) engine game ...

sad is that alt-enter doesn't work either anyway, from menu, you can use alt-tab, just not from ingame (menu i mean the very first menu, not pause game menu or something).

But yeah its sad, so sad

im having some crazy issues with this game, on the second mission on the beach when you go in the water the game will freeze up then come back sometimes, then it keeps doing it and sometimes the screen goes black and will come back or it will freeze then come back... but usually stops responding and windows has me close.
then I get an error that my display driver has stopped working but recovered itself...

I'm thinking this game needs new drivers or has issues with the 180.43 betas. either nvidia will release new drivers day of or day before release. maybe bad crack... fuck idk.

ive got latest november dx10 and beta 180.43 drivers on a 9800gx2 v-card.
and if your having trouble with water, i disabled "dual video cards" in options menu and that fixed it. my card is 2 cards in one so i wasnt sure if this option would fit my setup but I guess not.

hope there is a fix or something soon because I plan on buying this game.

Yeah, I was having the same issues. I assume it's an issue with the 180.43 drivers.

well, i upped my gpu fanspeed to 50% and gamed flawless without freezing for about 3 hours

guess my card was getting a bit too hot (70+) and then set itself to 2D mode
(freeze recovered, but then lagged like shit due to the card being extremly underclocked now)

hmmm... it's not really fun when i can't blame problems on some company or driver Sad

guess ima go buy myself a cd key sometime this week Smile

I have no idea. I'm not going to bother trying as I want to keep the 180.43's for fallout 3 and farcry 2. I assume nvidia will release a new beta driver come Monday. However, I don't care as I uninstalled CoD5 anyways. The singleplayer is an absolute joke compared to the other CoD's. It's turned WAY to arcadey. At least even in CoD4 it was somewhat realistic.

Taking FC2 shit over this great game makes you a joke. You say single player in CoD5 is a joke, then where does that leave FC2? Ultra epic joke? When you finish CoD5 you feel like you had a nice cinematic adventure which can be remembered, and when you finish FC2... haha I said finish FC2.

The gameplay is identical to COD 4, which has never been anywhere near realistic.

I'd rather be playing FC2 then the singleplayer in this game. That said, I'm barely playing FC2. I've been playing dead space, fallout 3, and RA3. All of which run better under the new beta drivers.

Anyways, time to ignore you to glottis.

the issues went away while using the whql drivers. game runs flawless with no crashes or issues of any kind. I just finished the mission after the sniper one. russian campaign is fucking awesome, this game is a blast. the flame thrower is badass, running around burning the fuck out of everything is great.

armed assault is a very realistic shooter, i dont know if you have played it but that game has the most 'realistic' gameplay in any game out there imo. should check it out if you missed it.

Yeah I got a BSOD artifacts while playing for a bit. I was using the 180.43 Beta drivers but now switched to the 180.42 Xtreme dirvers and I hope that it doesn't cause anymore artifacts.


EDIT: No more artifacts. Smile

Singleplay in cod5 is friggin better than cod4. I thought cod4 sucked donkey dingle compared to previous cod releases.
As of now i dont think theres any game released to date that even remotely comes close enough to cod5 when it comes to running around killing stuff.
Cuz to be honest, thats what all FPS games are about. Run around shoot at most things u see...

Take a look at FC2, shoot everyone cuz they're all out to get u. And when u killed everyone u have to kill em all over again due to moronic spawns...
And i wont even get into crysis and its poor alien map design and corridor running. Sure Cod5 isnt about open world and exploring,
its about completing the tasks thats been given and it does it well, epic even.
