    It worked alright on the MP beta demo on my 7811. However, people aimhacked like crazy, which made it absolutely no fun.

    CoD 5 is fantastic. Could use a better menu interface for friends and such, but the gameplay is fantastic. Sure I prefer modern warfare, but overall the game is fantastic and I love it. CooP is a dream.

    I "borrowed" it, and im on the fence right now. i think I will stick with COD4, as there is nothing really appealing over COD4.

    IMO multiplayer is the best part of both COD4(PC), and World at War (PS3)

    plus the new added perks like being able to revive teammates are very interesting.

    A lot of servers were prohibiting use of Second Chance and Martyrdom in the beta.

    It's nice. It's like COD4 but with a WW2 theme changing the dynamics to close combat, gritty in the trenches warfare in your face, since the weapons weren't as powerful as we have in Modern warfare.

    I just bought the game and haven't had the chance to play multiplayer though, but the single player engine seems to be refined and enhanced to the point of squeezing out all the potential of the COD4 engine. I hope they use it in future games so we don't need to keep on upgrading to the next expensive powerful system to game.

    BTW I have a Toshiba x305 with a 9700m gts and have graphics settings all maxed 4x aa at 1440x900 and it keeps a constant 30 fps. I think the framerate was to be locked at 30 but sometimes it goes up to 50 and down to 20 but most of the time it's steady at 30 fps.

    multiplayer seems to be a lot more smooth and generates more fps. I get 50-60 fps even with 40 players gaming. Just like Cod4. Awesome game.

    Ekk! Just to warn you guys.

    Make sure you set your speaker settings at 24bit (Studio Quality) 48000.

    I had mine set up at 16bit Studio Quality and at first it gave me tons of black screens and then after I re-installed the game, it just didnt ran at all.

    It's just like a movie similar to COD4. I just got to the tank stage and things start feeling even more exciting from there.

    i think both COD 4 and 5 are pretty good games.
    Of course we can't compare with the console ones, but that's the way it is ALWAYS. Stop comparing a Xbox or PS3 with a PC dudes, there is no fuc#### comparison.
    I also get the black screens on cod5 between levels.
    Any idea?
