FileFront has already had over 65,000 DLs of this demo since yesterday.
I will have to wait on my DL because of the backlog. This is really impressive because most of the demos in the last month are just numbered in the hundreds.....

JIM

It's in the top ten games played today on the xfire homepage

Now at 82,000+ and still climbing VERY FAST !!!

from what i read ,mp will include - dm tdm dom s&d and ctf .question is ,what and how many maps? i have the doul core 1.86 ghz and ran perfect as well . cant wait till nov 5 th ,just in time for me to start my new job ,lol.

My b-day is at the end of next month so I'm gonna see if I can get this early .

Also, does anyone know if it's in Dx10 or Dx9? It has no option to change the Dx level but I swear I saw it extract Dx9 and 10 files while I was installing.

110,000+ with NO end in sight......

I just downloaded it from yahoo and played about 30 mins. I have a laptop running Core dou 1.73 ghz 1gig ram and a gforce 7600 graphics card it ran great. Wow! is right. THe draganov sniper rifle is fantasic. You can actually miss your target with it. Thrpg is nice it actually takes time to lock on the target and will not fire if you have a wall to close behind you. I am praying that they use punkbuster to keep the hacks out. That ruined Cod2 for me.

Thats the recommended, NOT the minimum. Here are min. specs.....

They put punkbuster in COD2 a couple months after it was released I think. While I see a hacker now and then (mainly on non PB servers) I think punkbuster does a good job of keeping them out. Obviously you can't get them all but in 72 TWL matches for TDM we've had one match where we were suspect enough that we would have protested and we ended up winning anyway. For the most part I don't think hacking is a huge issue in COD2 now. I'm worried that with the "perks" in COD4 that wall hacking will be at a premium.....

Has anyone had a problem in the last few days with a trojan getting into their computer? I downloaded the demo and after that McAfee started complaining about a trojan. Somewhere along the line it removed [or McAfee did] some system files and Windows would reboot. The event log showed it was looking for files that it couldn't find. I gave up and did a restore from a backup about 2 weeks ago. About the only thing that I did was play COD2 and grab the demo before this started happening. I'm wondering if I got it from the download site?

Yep my computer has been randomly rebooting ever since I installed this.... I figured I was just crazy...

mine was doing the same,i kept getting reboots myself and then was getting an error mes stating cod 2 has crashed,wierd!

Same here.... Crosses fingers...

I used Yahoo! and have experienced no problems yet.

140,000 downloads in less than 72 hours - UNBELIEVEABLE

Played it a bit but was never much impressed in COD single player games.
Multiplayer was always the way to go in the COD game series.....


JIM

Never got a message that stated anything about COD2. But McAfee identified about 7 or 8 files that were trojans. Interestingly, they showed they were associated with programs that had been on my computer for a long time. The Trojan was BWE.

Ditto! Looks really cool. Way better than Airborne. This one might get some of my cash.

very easy for them to beat airborne being airborne isnt even finished yet ,lol . turns out were waiting on another patch that isnt coming , ea isnt answering any posts -people are pissed. i am for giving in and buying it.



i am however having problems with my computer still even after uninstalling the demo. from the logs, ive had a problem since the day i dl it though. the error mesage im getting refers to an unknown driver . the day after i dl the demo i kept getting xfire error mesages saying the game was shut down improperly even though it wasnt ,then while i was playing i kept getting a error mes saying cod2 was crashing ,now if im idle for awhile it reboots.



any one have any ideas?

I dl'ed the demo from yahoo and have played at least 10 times with no problems. I wonder if the people with problems all dl'ed from the same site and picked up a bug.

I also dl'ed the demo from yahoo, the day after it came out. No problems so far at all, and I've played it probably 5 times. I've been in our coduo servers many times since the dl, but not our cod2 servers, so I'll try that.

BTW, as I'm under a strict budget since retirement as a computer engineer earlier this year, I found a way to pre-order and pay for COD4. I traded in one of my old xbox's and some games at Gamestop. I'd bought it used for a song anyway so no big deal. But now I even have credit at the store left over. Yea!!

While I was at Gamestop, I asked the clerk how sales of MOH:Airborne were doing. He gave me thumbs-down on the game and made a face. He told me they've passed their sales-window, that even if they patch it to where everyone loves it, that customers are passing it by for COD4 in droves. That was about what I expected.

Downloaded from 3Dgamers and it appears to play very well. Went back to COD2 and had no problems.

The only thing that appeared to not be working was the SLI mode. Even with the "Dual Video Card" option set to Yes, the game was still only using one card. I'll have to do a little looking around the COD4 forums to see what others have to say about it.

I've already reserved a copy of the game for the MOB server so that we can hit the ground running at the release date.

Very Good, then steel can start work on the WW2 mod for COD4 !!

JIM

ok, just finished playing COD4 SP (Demo) on most difficult level (yes it took a few tries )

I REALLY hope that WW2 mods can be made for MP ... that would really kick butt.

I was playing Modern Weapons TDM this morning and my computer simply reset itself. Thought I'd post about it here, since other folks have been experiencing this since running the cod4 demo.

I ran the cod multifixer, with the cod-coduo option, and so far, my computer hasn't crashed again.

To be fair to cod4, between my running the demo and now, there's been other activity on my computer... Quicktime was updated, Hotmail was updated, there was a WindowsXP update, and of course my virus checker (AVG) updates every morning.

i am still having this issue. i had to change anti virus as norton would not update and there was the clock issue as well which was just wierd. since changing i hadnt had any issues but i did notice a reset yesterday and then today it happend again while logging into cod2 server.one reset a day is better than every hour i guess but im worried im gonna have a fatal error soon.

Wait, your computer clock just reset randomly too?

yeah ,i posted my problem unr the w32 error
