So Have any of you gotten the beta for Call of Duty 5? I've been playing it endlessly, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed.
Gameplay is great for the most part. Graphics are really the same as CoD4, but with a little polishing. Weapons sound pretty good. Although the Tokarev rifle sounds pretty weak. Thompson and MP40 are satisfying. However, I would like it if some of the bolt action rifles like the Type 99 and Springfield that you start out with would be a one shot kill most of the time. However, they are the ones you start out with so I guess it's understandable.
One thing I'm really impressed about it the all new gore engine. Head, arms, legs, forearms, shins, etc. are now all able to be blown or shot off. I nailed some guy with a trench gun square in the chest to see it leave a gaping hole in his torso. Exposing ribs, guts, and all that stuff. I also shot a trench gun at a guy's leg and the whole leg came off! I also witnessed a whole left half of a guy's body get absolutley shredded after a grenade went off on his left side. There are also bullet wounds visable on corpses. Unlike CoD4, the corpses are no longer "ghosts." When you shoot a dead body, more blood will spray out. Also saw someone get blown in half by a perfectly placed hand grenade.
Another gore filled event was when I was manning the turret on a Panzer and got shot right through the neck by an opposing tank machinegunner. My head popped off, flew 10ft. off to the side, blood trail and all.
Vehicles are also back in. Panzer and T-34 look awesome. Another new feature is dogs as a reward for a killl streak. I guess to compensate for the CoD4 helicopter. I actually think they're better because you actually have a chance against them unlike some occasions against helos in CoD4.

I love the beta but the only thing i don't like is the weapon inacuracies. c'mon really? a marine raider can have an mp-40 with a silencer on makin, that makes no sense. other than that I'm pretty satisfyed with everything. I love useing the springfield in that game it makes me feel ww1-ish.

I love useing the springfield in that game it makes me feel ww1-ish. I agree, the weapons assortment is a little wacky. Marines with Tokarevs, Japanese with MP40s, Germans with Thompsons, Russians with Arisakas, etc. I like how you have access to an unscoped springfield also. All bolt actions are awesome with bayonets. Nothing more satisfying then charging an enemy, thrusting your bayonet hearing metal tear flesh, and seeing a splash of blood.

This game sounds like a let-down now. I pre-ordered it, but these weapons you say? That is just sad.

It will just be like COD4 with an extreme gore mod. I wish they could have made this game better.

You'll be able to turn the gore off.
I'll admit, it has left a slight stale taste in my mouth. It's a lot like CoD 4. I wish that Treyarch changed a few things around, but I wish they had put some of their own ideas in, rather than take the majority right out of CoD4.
Silencers on MP40s and Thompsons, G43, and Tokarevs does look pretty ridiculous. They even have a WW2 version of the red dot and ACOG sights, which IMHO looks pretty weird. Just thank god that they don't allow you to paint your guns and have red tiger camo MP40s, and Gold Thompsons.
I will say that they really improved on the uniforms. Really BIA quality uniform variety. Germans especially. You have some guys with pea dot camo, some guys with normal olive drab, some half and half. Some with field caps, some without.
Machine Guns you can upgrade with bipods. They don't really do much except there are some positions on maps that allow you to use the bipod and stabalize the machine gun while firing.

I don't want the game anymore. I thought there would be a lot of Type-100 SMGs, but they wouldn't even make them?!?!

I bet there are a lot, right? lol ;D -Nick I guess we'll have to wait till the full game comes out. We don't have access to them in the beta. However, the campaign I bet there will be quite a few. Historically speaking they were pretty rare, If I'm correct. Other than that, I was playing around with the perks recently. they're pretty much the same as CoD 4 just with some different names. Theres one that gives you a bazokaa. Others give you satchels, extra grenades, etc. Last Stand is still there, but now if you choose Last stand it also gives you the ability to medic/heal other people in last stand. It's a pretty usefull feature, especially in search and destroy, sitting there hopelessly in last stand and then suddenly be in the game again.

Yeah, you're right. The Japanese believed hand-to-hand was better, and looked down on Sub-Machine Guns.

I cant wait till the game comes out. I'm not too worried about the weapons inacuracy you are talking about but I have played every WWII game for PS2 and 3 so far and need the new ones to keep me going.

As much as I hate the weapon inaccuracies, they're a part of the multiplayer balancing, which is essential for gameplay value in multiplayer. However, I don't like how much they're balanced - some of the weapons loose their edges, which is a shame, as it's a very large part of the WWII-genre charm. I have a hard time truly enjoying multiplayer, because I have a tendency to expect the enemy to act like soldiers - instead, they bunny-jump and throw grenades

What was wrong with it Kyle? (Typing right before going to play COD 2, old school. ;D) Nick well here it is, its cod 4 with a ww2 skin no accuracy what so ever and the game play is not realistic. the single player will need heavy modding to be acceptable.

Well here's the thing about a Beta. It is not the finished product. They put those out just to get feedback on how is it, what to fix, glitches ect. And also for the money from the pre-orders. You can't judge a game on a Beta, let alone how the single player will be. Nick, PM replied.
