the other thread was just a huge argument (and the game wasnt even out yet) so im starting a new one.
Got the game. LOVE IT! the first mission was so so, but landing on Pelilu was awesome.
The graphics dont initially look alot batter than cod4, but the new details keep shining through. VERY GORY!! the BAR takes limbs off. Be prepared to use your bayonete!
I saw a couple historical goofs already, Have not played online yet, but It really is a solid entertaining product, check it out!

dear god, the bayonet and knife have a sickening *thud* when you hit someone
some Japanese soldier knocked me down, and then there was a prompt... well, next thing I know, he has a Kabar through his neck I also bayoneted a Japanese from below- ouch, that hurt!
another memorable moment was when you had to take out the triple 25mm AA guns... FLAMETHROWER! The screams sound eerily real though...

It is great!!! I love the Nazi zombie game unlock! Once again, the battle for berlin sequence was pretty neat! Just where were the hitler youth and the panzerfausts? I must say one of the greater COD games of played! Franz

The Call of Duty series always goes for the sensory overload. The Campaign is pretty good, the multiplayer perks are a bit lame. Come on, a silencer on a thompson? No thanks. There is a mission in the Soviet campaign that is eerily familiar to a scene from Enemy at the Gates. They had to have taken it right out of the movie.

I am waiting to try this out as soon as I can because it rivals my favorite game of all time, and I hear Treyarch is terrible at games. Sadly, I don't have a console and my computer is outdated.

I'm thinking about renting/buying this after watching the GT review, the gore system looks absolutely brutal. It looks like a WWII mod for COD4 which isn't bad. I hope it's the last cod in the series unless they make something astounding, maybe they'll make a good vietnam game.

I think COD needs to update there games. COD5 COD4 and COD3 all disappointed me. The graphics never improved much from COD3. COD5 is a good change though, finally they go to Pacific theater. Hopefully they'll make a Vietnam game or WWI. Maybe even a German based game which is the most far fetched but seriously someone has to make one! The old US Infantry COD and MOH games are getting BORING.

The old US Infantry COD and MOH games are getting BORING. I don't know how you guys didn't like COD4, that one was probably my second favorite. It had stunning graphics, good story, amazing multiplayer, and gameplay. A WWI game would be incredibly boring IMO, you don't really get the in-your-faceness of vietnam/WWII/modern. Vietnam would probably be the best choice because every game that did get released for vietnam, sucked. Except BFV, but it's outdated and there's no campaign.

I disagree, a WW1 game would be pretty fun IMO. There was more fronts then the Western Front. Plus a charge could be pretty impacting. Its a fun idea to toy around with.

We would probably like it but the average gamer who wants to play omaha beach again probably wouldn't.
Wasn't there a WWI mod for like BF1942? I never played it.

Yea there was a MOD for B1942 called BF1918. I have it its pretty fun but sniper rifles and hand held MG's are shoot horribly inaccurate but I guess thats realistic. Also tank are almost impossible to destroy on foot. Its a pretty fun game though. www.moddb.com/mods/battlefield-1918/videos

That game had a great campaign, and other than a few graphical shortcomings, it was quite good. Better than BFV imo.

I was at a party and played this 8 year old kid who was tearing everyone up (mostly because everyone there was pisto'd to hell) so I asked if I could play and I ain't gonna lie I killed this boy so many damn times and the poor kid started crying and pouting that I was cheating and told his chola mom on me, she and I were laughing at her son soooo freakin' hard but thats what he gets for telling everyone they suck and they're getting pwned.. stupid kit.. -Eddie
byt: I was 8 beers strong with 1 irish car bomb in me.. kid must have really sucked..

I just saw this thread after having replied to the other thread: I modified all the small arms to be deadlier and more consistent - out of the box, rifles do double damage when they're scoped, which is stupid. Likewise, every bullet in an Smg did just as much damage as a BA rifle, and more than the Garand or Carbine - those two did the same amount of damage for some reason, I dunno why. Maybe .30 Carbine and .30 '06 is confusing to game designers? Anyway, the game feels more realistic now.

I just played it today, it was pretty good. I thought it was way to dramatic though. In like every level they had you almost die, then a friendly comes up and raises hell. For example: In the Berlin level on the rooftop, that was way to dramatic for me. Howevr, I did like the Nazi Zombie level.

I bought it and was really excited about it. Got it all installed and went to play it and it just locks up my computer ahhhhhhh!!!! I was so freakin' sad. Don't know why either, COD4 plays just fine. Same requirements, same engine running COD5.

When you open it, it goes black like it's about to start the opening movie, and then it just stays black. It just won't load. I looked up the problem online, and found that some people had luck removing a file. I tried that and it loaded into the menu however it locks up again on the menu whenever you try to start a game. Very frustrating.

I bought it the day it came out for PS3. I beat it within the first week then started playing co-op with my 8 year old son. We beat it together then went up a level on difficulty. I started it but he has taken over and is on the last level. I am quite proud of my son especially since he hasnt been playing video games for very long. I have started playing online but am not very good at it, usually only scoring in the 40-110 range. He played it once online and scored 60.

i really like how there are no grooves on the front grip on the Thompson, and how there is only one piece of the stock connecting to the MP40. HAHA

Man COD5 sounds like a real bummer. You'd think that after making so many WWII games they would get it right by now.

Very frustrating. I had the same issue, concluded it is a system deficiency. I originally got BIA:HH, played it through, then was playing a harder difficulty and it quit running, citing a problem with the .exe file. I uninstalled it, then re-installed it, still wouldn't run. I kept trying, got a couple of blue screen errors, and wound up corrupting the system32/CONFIG file, crippling the OS and forcing a re-image of the hard drive. NOT fun. So I got COD5, and it does what yours is doing. I uninstalled it and backed away. They'll wait for the next machine. I ain't pushin' it!
