Okay, I got Call of Duty 2 for XMas. Is it good?
So far it hasn't worked too well for me.

call of duty 2 rocks!!!!

Actually a friend of mine got the game with his Xbox 360. We played almost all the way through it last night. I must say it really is fun, a great addition to the series. If you're having trouble crossing ground (in previous Call of Duty's there weren't so many alleys and long, direct attacks) definately use smoke grenades.

My problem is that my computer doesnt have a good enough video card.

Yes it is a very good game, especially if your into the WW2 setting.

i played call of duty from the first game but call of duty 2 for the pc isn't such a good game because there is no anti-cheating system

I won't cheat anyway.
And yes, I like the World War 2 setting.

But others will cheat, on COD:UO Multi there is sometimes a person accusing someone of cheating, the the accused however usualy tells the acuser to just back off, not F*** OFF but back off. Well, not those words, but there isn't much flaming, and I use the Extreme mod and play either, CULF or 13clan servers usualy. Other people also tell the person to give/shut up. THe accused was never cheating in any of the times it's happened.
I will buy COD2 this summer hopefully. It would suck thoguh if people are always cheating.

Sorry for the bump, but I got this game to work.

I love it, it's explosive and fun.
The one problem I have is that my Russian Comrades have said "You Facists came all the way here to die." at least 5 times each minute.

Got Call of Duty 2 a few months back and completed it almost instantly. And I loved it, so I played it again (though on a harder difficulty setting this time :p )

I love the new health system that takes away the desperation of seeking out health packs. Meant I was concentrating a lot more on the battle and the action. Really helped build up a sense of atmosphere.

my only problem with the game is 6 discs!!! o_O

Ditto.

Got it, completed it. Completed it again on hard mode. Discovered the multiplayer was a bit poop. Put it on the shelf to gain dust, and it's been there ever since.

Its good, but the replay value isn't great.

Funny this topic should come up, I got the game in December, played it like a mad thing for a month then put it down, just started playing it again.

Excellent single player, and I also like the new health system.

I have to say I found the multiplayer a little bit meh, but I have found a good realism server that has kept me interested for the past couple of days.

I got Big Red One for the Gamecube and beat it in four days.

I'm almost done in 1 day. But I can play it again and again.

I've had call of duty2 laying around sinse xmas and a few days ago i tried it out. Its pretty funny, lots of things happening all the times. I could however be a little longer because im soon done. And coming from the week taking civ4 ive been playing lately that was i little downer.... But whatcha gonna do...

Its not necessarily bad, but its the absolute appitamy of an average shooter. It does absolutely nothing new that hasnt been done before, and the mechanics arent all that great either.

Wow! I am stuck on the Stalingrad level where you have to hold the train station. Of course, the computer had to auto-save right before the Germans enter the station and I have only 6 bullets left with an MP-40. Anyways, German troops are entering to my side and in front of me (I'm kneeled behind a crate) and my teammates are nowhere to be found. They were behind me a second ago. Anyways, I manage to take out 2-3 Germans with my 6 bullets, then I have to reload, and they start to beat me. Once my gun is reloaded, I am dead. I hate this level. What should I do? Turn around and run towards the safety of the upper level where I can fire down on them or outside towards the trenches where I can pick them off with my sniper rifle?

Of course, the computer had to auto-save right before the Germans enter the station and I have only 6 bullets left with an MP-40.
:lol: :rotfl: Sorry I just have to laugh. :lol:

The thing that ticks me off is that the enamy always gets back up when I shoot them. They should be dying once they get shot once. :hmm:

I can deal with that, since I sort of "over-kill" them.

I can deal with that, since I sort of "over-kill" them.
Maybe that's why you only have six bullets.

Sorry, should have made myself clearer. I have 6 bullets left before I have to reload, if I reload immediately, I get shot, if I run and re-load I get shot.

You shoot till you're out THEN you reload. Try that. ;)

I always reload before my clip runs out. Sometimes to the point of it being a problem.

"22/30 bullets left? Better reload just to be sure."

It's a common syndrome among FPSers, including me. It's called the Reload Whore Syndrome.

Hehe, I knew it had a name.

I've learned to slow it from excessive Counter-Strike playing, from that I don't reload until at least half a clip, but it's still there.

Edit: Though I knew it as "Chronic Reload Syndrome"

Is anyone playing the multiplayer option? I have just barely tried it and found out that i pretty much suck.... But is it worth getting into? And wich is the best gametypes?

You shoot till you're out THEN you reload. Try that. ;)

When, I reload, the Germans come and beat me close to death.

I'd just restart the level if its giving you that much trouble AlCosta.

@sweetpete: I have played it quite a bit online, it is good fun but not as good as battlefield 1942 due to the lack of vehicles. My favourite gametypes are search and destroy and headquarters, as they tend to produce more focused battles, but it really just comes down to personal preference.

My online experience boils down to franctic running and shooting. Its really just chaos, which isnt fun for me. I rather play Americas Army instead.

Sometimes I prefer frantic shooting and running, but only in short bursts.

I'm a bigger fan of playing Battlefield, CS or DoD online.

Battlefield is a deterministic chaos which is much better then mindless run and gun of CoD2.

Battlefield is a deterministic chaos

That's a keeper quote :D

And yes it is. I adore Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2, they're brilliant games.

1942 is best for sure.

Battlefield Vietnam is awful, I hate it.

I never got Vietnam. Didn't really appeal to me.

Then continue to not get it because it is awful.

It's a common syndrome among FPSers, including me. It's called the Reload Whore Syndrome.

Same here, I have gotten better though, but it's become Obsessive Compulsive almost, especialy when using a sniper rifle, I like to re-load after each shot, I have to force myself not to.

This is in COD:UO. I can't wait to get COD2.

EDIT: I did play it at a friends, I definately think the health system is MUCH better.

Hey, Can anybody tip me on what kind of weapon you choose for a multiplayer game? Do you choose a high accurate rifle, or a high damage machine gun? Any cod2 mp veterans with the know-how can give me some tips?

Depends really on the map and what everyone else is getting...

Hehe, I knew it had a name.

Edit: Though I knew it as "Chronic Reload Syndrome"
Yeah, another sufferer here.

I take a guy out with a headshot, a couple of rounds, and I reload.

But it beats runing out when you're ploughing your way through half a dozen, and have to finish them off with a hastily unholstered pistol, and much whipping.

I never run out. I'm an ultra-ammo-conservatist. I usually wait until I have about 3 shots with an automatic, and 1 with a semi-auto to reload. I ALWAYS shoot in tiny controlled bursts. About one bullet and I'll deal with that fool when he gets back up with a melee.

I've been a Counter-Strike player before, and, as a result of that, I do a lot of spraying, i.e. shooting toward an enemy, hoping that you can control the burst enough to get either a headshot or enough bullets in him to kill him. Then, I reload, be it 26/30, or 5/30, or even 5/6, as with some guns. By the way, I have CoD2 on 360.

I actually only have Chronic Reload Syndrome if i have a thompson or another gun like that, with a sniper rifle i tend to shoot until it forces me to reload

Aye, I find that using sub-machine guns I reload after firing, but with rifles or sniper rifles I tend to forget.

Yup, I'm exactly the same, especially with machine guns...:D

Also, is it some unwritten rule of the genre that emplaced machine guns must be so useless? Even going near one is like putting up a massive sign saying 'shoot me quick!!!' :ack:

actually after playing Call of Duty 2 i'm finding the soldiers getting back up after being shot is bothersome, I actually carry a pistol just for the purpose of not wasting my other guns ammo

Yeah, I would imagine that, I think the health system is still a good start though.

Aye, I find that using sub-machine guns I reload after firing, but with rifles or sniper rifles I tend to forget.
Trust me, let your sniper empty, and you'll be kicking yourself when two targets line up one next to another juicily, or when you see an SMGer running towards you, and you need to put a quick round in his chest.

Oh believe me, I've been there many a time. As I say, like reloading constantly with SMG's uncontrollably, I'm also forgetting (or worse, ignoring) the need to reload the rifles.

actually after playing Call of Duty 2 i'm finding the soldiers getting back up after being shot is bothersome, I actually carry a pistol just for the purpose of not wasting my other guns ammo
I second that. Shot a guy in the head with an M1 Garand. He gets back up. :lol:

You probably hit him in the helmet.

Aye, I've shot a guy in the helmet many a time, just pings off him, the guy falls, gets up and shakes his head, I shoot again.

I'm a very methodical player, so I take my time in FPS's. It's no bother to me.

It's not really a problem, for me at least. I don't mind putting another couple bullets in one of those "Fascist pigs!":rotfl:

I'm currently on the map where i just got off the beach its called "retreat? just an advance in another direction"

you ever run out of ammo and just grab the gun closest to you? just so happens i grabbed a luger, freaken scary trying to fend off a german attack with a luger

When germans charge at me I take the bazooka and use the melee attack.

It is absolutely hilarious when you see a bazooka man get a good shot on someone.

One minute they're standing there, the next...

they're standing next to everyone in a ten foot radius :p

is it just me or is call of duty 2 during the d-day level severly giving of a WW1 vibe?

I agree, that is a good level, and the clifftop was bombarded and entrenched.

One thing that made no sense was the Egpytion night raid when they blew the metal door, then you get in and realise the ceiling is open in many places...

That's happned to me on JO:TR, a few time's I 've gotten someone that way, once though I missed and almost took out a freindly APC.

is it just me or is call of duty 2 during the d-day level severly giving of a WW1 vibe?

It most certainly is. Very hard to bring myself to go over the top sometimes, especially when I was out of smoke grenades and I knew there was a MG nest pointing itself at me.

That's happned to me on JO:TR, a few time's I 've gotten someone that way, once though I missed and almost took out a freindly APC.

Hehe. I'm much more used to seeing it (and being a victim to it) on Day of Defeat.

lol about my WW1 comment imagine my suprise when i'm stuck on the MG 42 suddenly the germans throw a smoke grenade before going over the top, then all i can see is, my trench, my gun, a bit of land past my trench, smoke everywhere and a huge amount of germans running at my trench

needless to say i had that MG blazing until i was ordered to retreat

That would be the level after you've scaled the cliffs aye? I love that one - playing a fighting retreat is always fun.

yeah it is, so far its my fav level

Even though the AI is probably somewhat scripted it is much better, I like how the enemy uses smoke nades.

Agreed with both poster above.

I have to say again though, the health system made a HUGE difference. In the first CoD (which regardless, I loved) I was always looking for the next healthpack and being very wary of what I was getting myself into. With CoD2 I was more eager to get into the battle and enjoy the scenery, so to speakm which made it a much more pleasurable experience.

just curious, how does health work? is it possible to go to cover and have it refill before your wounded?

just curious, how does health work? is it possible to go to cover and have it refill before your wounded?
What happens is you take a certain amount of damage, and then the sides of your screen get more and more red-hazy as you go. Then, you go to cover, and if you aren't hit, then you regain health until the red-haziness is gone and you don't have to worry about damage again. But, on the hardest difficulty, it is almost impossible to survive if you get caught in the open. About 4 bullets will kill you.;)

Which is horrible when there's a MG at the other end of the street and you're out of smoke grenades.

Just started a new game on the hardest difficulty. Am having to get used to the fact that if I get hit once I have to run away, I can no longer hang around.

I tried to do the D-Day level on hardest difficulty, without any prior experience on that difficulty. It was awesome, but I died about a million times.:D

Great Game, however I wish they had set up a Skirmish mode for single player, kinda sucks only haveing SP then online stuff.

Great Game, however I wish they had set up a Skirmish mode for single player, kinda sucks only haveing SP then online stuff.

I know, I wish they had more singleplayer capability in FPS games like COD, JO:TR. THere are very few, if any, singleplayer mods. Also I noticed with COD:UO singleplayer becomes buggy due to it being affected my mods from multiplayer servers.

Anybody know how i can lower my ping in multiplayer. Its usally around 200 while most other players are around 50-70. And that is giving me quite a bit of a disadvantage in MP games. Very annoying! I have a good 54mbps aDSL wireless linksys internet connections. I live in norway and the only server i have found with a low ping is a swedish server but its the wrong game type for me and far too few players on it. Why do i get such a high ping?

Lowering your specifications might help......

This game is bloody hard on veteran......I tried the first level and although I didnt ever die once I redded a lot, it seems like when they have the shot they never miss and it takes like three rounds to get redded, and they love them grenades!

I always reload before my clip runs out. Sometimes to the point of it being a problem.

"22/30 bullets left? Better reload just to be sure."
Yeah...so I am a little late. So what? Anyway, This is me as well. I just loosed 10 rounds. Reloa...DIE!!!!

Actually I find that letting the ammo run out takes too long to reload cause you need to wait for the chambering of the first round animation. If you still have a round in the chamber and you reload, you are ADS alot faster.

Ive beaten the game on veteran now EXCEPT for the very last level, I can barely make it up the beach, Im out of smokes and theres this one 100 run with absolutely no cover I have to make.....dont think Im gonna be able to beat it.

cod>cod2. Its all about multiplayer, check my xfire and you'll see the hours spent on cod MP and cod2 MP :p.

I finally beat that level, I used an MP 40, cleared 4 Germans, ran bahind a wall. And I started a guerrila campaign with the MP-40 and frags. I might have killed 20 Germans behind a MG-42. Now, I'm onto the British.

Dude, the British are on your side ;)

lol no wonder i kept dying as the british....

No, I'm saying I'm onto the British campaign. ;)

OMG, the D-Day level is so fun. But, it's so hard. I had to go down to easy, and I was still being ripped apart. I must have gone through 6 guns and finally I made it to the town, and then it was pretty easy.

I had a great time with that level. Especially the one straight after where you're forced to withdraw back to the start. I do love fighting retreats.

Oh Crap, I haven't tried that one yet, it doesn't sound fun. I liked the British Campaign, expecially with the Tanks, Rommel's Last Stand was a lot of fun.

The best level so far, in my opinion, is the one is in Russia, Comrade Snipers, where the guys raises the helmet, and the German attempts to snipe it, and you have to find him, and you get to use a Panzersheck in that one too.

It's fun really. Lots of shooting, and lots of action.

I didn't really like the British tank level. I feel too exposed in one, didn't feel quite right in a FPS.

Can't remember my favourite mission. I think it was more the different set pieces that I remember. Holding out against a massive assault, charging alongside comrades despite the fact I just know I'll die, getting that perfect shot with the sniper...

Good times.

I like the gun battles between 20 soldiers, it makes me feel like I'm in an actual war with my comrades. This happened a lot in Rommel's Last Stand, where me and 10 Brits got into a fight with 2 MG's and maybe 10 Krauts, and we fought for 15 minutes. There were grenades everywhere.

But, a perfect sniper shot feels real good, but it was hard, at least for me, to do in Normandy, there were way too many MG's shooting me. It didn't help that I only had 5 shots.

Aye, one of the things that annoy me in WW2 shooters is that I'm often left on my own and was essentially winning the war. In CoD2 I truly felt like part of an army and fighting alongside folk.

Exactly, it's not like Medal of Honor where you take out an entire Infantry Division by yourself. You get that true comrade feeling.

I downloaded the demo (since I don't own the game, I now have a comp that can play it, and I wanted to play some kind of COD2) and I was disapointed, it only has one level and I beat it on all dificulties easily.

But it was fun!

That's pretty much the entire game. It's easy, but very fun.

Yeah, but it's a silly demo since it's 600 megabyte download for just one playable map. Ah well. I've got COD:UO and the free trial of Red Orchestra to keep me busy with FPS. And Oblivion.

Red Orchestra, how is it? Tell tell tell!

For some reason I just can't get into Call of Duty 2. For comparison I started on the Call of Duty (1) campaign, and am thoroughly enjoying it again! I did enjoy the CoD 2 demo with the British though, so maybe I just don't like the Russian campaign. I'll try to play through it when I get a new headphone.

And I also have the 'chronic reloading' ilness. I can't remember how many times I've been killed in an FPS while I was reloading with the clip still half-full at least:lol:

When I was playing Americas Army, I always tried to leave one round in the rifle. You only need 1 bullet to kill someone, if you can aim.

@Strauss: I just fell in love with the CoD2 demo. Don't really know why, I just had to keep playing it over and over again. Call of Duty 1 is also a great game though, I loved the Russian campaign in that :p

@Cleric: I'd rather the two bullets, one to shock the enemy, the other to finish him. Yes, I am cruel sometimes.

I'd rather have a full clip.

i'd rather be fishing, with no bullets flying at me

I would be telling you how I was doing. Except I ran into a problem, a big problem, Multi-Player! I've been playing for 3-4 hours every day now.

The multiplayer is the best part. If you can find a good servor with good maps it's a blast.

I only played multi Cod2 for an hour and only on one servor, but the 13|Clan is a good servor, usualy, they use colourful language sometimes though. Austin Servors on the other hand have Big Brother Bot and keep troublemakers out and the language clean, also there are some very decent players in their UO servors. CUF League also have good UO servors, might want to try those as well.

I liked Men of God, they have some nice Bible quotes when you die, and they play with Panzershecks. :p One server I found is really, really good, I need to find the name.

This game has made me thankful I did not live through World War II. Realistic to the point where my heart was pounding. The rope scene during D-Day seemed especially real.

The first game that actually did that to me was, ironically, Medal of Honour. I had a guy in my sniper scopes and he was blissfully unaware.

Just made me think about the amount of people who did that for real.

I did enjoy the CoD 2 demo with the British though, so maybe I just don't like the Russian campaign. I'll try to play through it when I get a new headphone.

I take back my words:lol:. The remainder of the Russian campaign was quite enjoyable (if you call getting torn to shreds by a Panzer II 10 times in a row enjoyable), and the British campaign is really good! Breaching through the lines at El Alamein was as much fun as the Pegasus-Bridge level in the original CoD:thumbsup:.

However, my graphics card apparently isn't able to cope with the game. It keeps giving me a weird messed-up screen every few minutes. I am able to continue after that, but it's very annoying and hinders immersion in the game. Strangely enough the game ran fine when I first bought it.

Have you downloaded patch 1.3? That helped me.

There is a patch 1.3:lol:? I'm afraid the problem is a bit 'deeper' than that, since my entire PC has been acting weird lately. I'm probably bringing it back to the store next week to have it cleaned up completely and get some extra RAM installed. But I'll see if the patch helps anyway. If it doesn't I'll stick to GTA 3 for the coming week (bought it Friday).

My favorite map in Multiplayer is Toujane, Tunisia, that's a street fight.

I like the French city maps most. Ste. Mere Eglise and Caen are my favorites. Carentan was fun at first too, but I think I overplayed it a bit.

BTW, the patch didn't work. I looked the error message up and it might help if I turn VPU recover off. Still have to try it out.

Ste. Mere Eglise is pretty good, IIRC, there's a lot of great sniper spots there.

MMM, sniper spots.

Not in COD:UO, I think that version might be a 3rd party map though, but it's not that good for snipers, but great for Retrieval.

Have not played it in COD2.

Got it today. Enjoyed Call of Duty 1 because of the very dense atmosphere, I hope Call of Duty 2 can match it (and is a bit longer).

Yes, the first level was very intense already and met my expectations. I got an error message when loading the next one though. :confused:

Does anyone else play the zombie mod?

Does anyone else play the zombie mod?

No?

I've played a zombie mod for CS, but this sounds interesting. Details?

No?

There aren't many ervers playing it, but it's fun as hell.

Basically, allies are Hunters, axis are zombies.
You start off with one zombie and everyone else hunters.

Hunters have low health, and are armed with a shotgun, and a pistol, while zombies are strong,a nd are only armed with a club.
Everytime a zombie kills a htner, the hunter becomes a zombie.

This means the game will inevitably play out with a lot of hunters taking refuge on the top level of a buildiing, holding off hordes of ever-expanding zombies, while they charge wave style.

What's a server name that plays that? It sounds extremely fun.

I don't seem to be able to access it at the moment, but under "game type" sort alphabetically and look for "zom".

You'll have to tujrn auto downloads on.



I forgot to mention all the normal levels are at nightime, witha thick mist, which means you can only see real close to you, adding to the suspense and fun.

Auto downloads is on for me, this sounds so awesome.

Edit: I played it, and it was. I'm going to play right now.

I forgot to mention all the normal levels are at nightime, witha thick mist, which means you can only see real close to you, adding to the suspense and fun.

I wanted to play it, until you said that.

I hate zombies.

But I like the sonud of hiding out on a rooftop with the others.

Just read about this zombie mod you're talkning about here..
Anybody got anymore details on it? Like how do the teams win and loose?

The team with the most points wins. Points are gained by killing an enemy soldier. In some game types points are given for holding an objective, destroying an objective, etc.

It's possible to get negative points, if TK is on then TKing takes away a kill point and also in COD:UO some accidents like falling or nading yourself (if they result in death) take away a kill point. The team's score is the total number of kills from all the plaeyrs on that team. Your deaths are also showed next to your name in the scores table but do not affect points, AFAIK.

There is 1 zombie to start out, the rest are the Allies.

The allies have loaded guns.

The zombie goes and tries to kill people. Once it kills someone, that person becomes a zombie. The zombies try and get rid of all of the people.

The people can only see 10 feet around them, so that makes it really hard.

It's fun stuff.

Funny story: I was playing in Caen France, and there's a rooftop that's impossible to get to except jumping by fence. So the allies (with guns) hid up there. All the zombies had to line up on the fence and get shot at and try and jump. So we thought they ran out of ammo and we all piled onto the fence, and we started to beat each other to get first to jump. And then the 3 allies opened fire on us, killing all of us. It was so funny.

Is there a time limit?

Yeah, but I quit because I was tired of getting killed.

What happens if the one zombie dies before he getts to kill anybody else?

I assume the zombies respawn and stay as zombies.

Yes, if a zombie dies, he respawns.

I have to say the zombie stuff sounds fun

I may have to install COD2 again :D

I just played an awesome 40 person death-match game in Caertaen. It was almost as fun as the Zombie mod.

I couldn't find any zombie servers sadly, but I did get a good game in to remind me of the good MP times. I will try again tonight.

The zombie server I played on was Spanish, it was pretty cool.

I found a zombie server and a map where everybody cheats, anybody play that one?

How do they cheat?

How do they cheat?

There's a platform you get to by jumping off the edge and running along an invisible walkway. Then you're above the zombies and can pick them off the whole game. The only way Humans die is by falling off the jump or walkway.

Yeah, that's cheap.

wish i could play it but my COD 2 doesnt go online lol

i got the game off my friend but he didnt have the code for it so i had to get someone to look for a code

and no i didnt dowload it :p i bought the actual game off my lousy friend

ya you got it off me but you didn't pay for it...or at least you haven't yet and you've had it for how many months?

lol crazy canuck, I'll give it back anytime

without multi its not that great

With COD + UO you don't need the CD to play multi (but I doubt you'll be able to play ulti with the same copy on two computers at once), is it the same with COD2?

No, you need the CD AFAIK....

That's silly.

It's nice not to have to pop in a CD when playing multiplayer.

I don't need the CD to play multiplayer, though I do for single.

i now its like that for the first one but i dont now about the second call of duty

nah the only problem is it says my Cd key is bad or something and wont let me play

Put it in again. Via the multiplayer options menu.

i now its like that for the first one but i dont now about the second call of duty

I just checked it now - the CD isn't requiered for multiplayer :)

Okay, that's cool.

Call of Duty 3 is coming out, if noone said it already. I love COD2, but my friend has it. :mad:

Call of Duty 3 is for the Playstation 3 ONLY.

And it should stay that way as otherwise the conversion from PS3 to PC won't be that great. I think they should make CoD4 for PC only.

Call of Duty is just so great on PC, I still don't see why they made it for PS3 only.

Console games have less financial risks and will bring in more money. Another reason might be a lucrative contract with Sony so the PS3 has an 'exclusive' game. I think it's the last one, since I don't think anyone can complain about the CoD-series' sales figures on PC..... I'm pretty sure CoD 3 will eventually come to PC.

I hope CoD3 doesn't come to PC if it's a console game, conversions don't alwyas go over well.

If it comes to PC, I think it'll be optimized for PC, like GTA and Splinter Cell have been.

Actually, COD3 is for Xbox360, Wii, and PS3. :D

That Wii is looking better and better.

I don't want to turn this into a next-gen console, but the Wii looks plain stupid. I'm getting an XBox 360, cheaper, still looks nice, and Halo. :D And Call of Duty 3.

wii i give the thumbs down...PS3 NOVEMBER !!!!!!!!

PS3 = $600
XBox 360 = $300

Who do you think wins there?

Wii - $250 in the USA, and $170 USD in Japan.

everyone nows the price will come down until then i will continue to play on my ps2 which still kicks ass.

What ping are you guys getting on your best servers? I cant seem to find any servers lower than about 80-90 ping...

80-90 ping isn't bad...

I usualy get that, and loads of 1 or 2 second lags (DO NOT EVER use wireless!), which strangely don't impact my skill at CoD:UO much... and happen a lot when I die (and other times), but 90% of the time I'd probably have died anyways.

Well im on a wireless, and its not really poissible for me to not be.
I like to blaim all me deaths om my ping! :D hehe..

What is that ping that stands after the team name on the ingame score mode?

Average ping maybe.

Average ping maybe.
Yeah, it's an average ping, like the ping on the right of the server is.

nonconform lives!

What is PING? I never understood it.

I know, I hate it how they NEVER EVER EVER explain what the symbols on the menu MEAN.

NEVER.

PING is something about how many seconds (or smaller than seconds) it take for info to reach the servor hosting the game to your computer.

I think its actually milliseconds, ie 1 ping is one thousand of a second.
And 1000 ping is one second.
So when i have 90 in ping, it takes 9 houndreds of a second between when i do something with my player, to when my player do something in the MP map.
This mostly infect shooting encounters. if my player takes longer to react than the other player, then he will probably kill me before i get to kill him.
So ping can often make quite a difference.

Yeah, but 200 is still playable. Not great, but playable.

Under 100 PING isn't bad at all. under 50 is really good. Under 20, you can probably drive to the servor in only a couple hours and is VERY good.

What is PING? I never understood it.
Ping is basically a measure of the time it takes for the information to leave your computer, travel to the hosting server, and then back to your computer.

Ideally, you want a ping below 100. It's still payable below about 150, but any more, and you're gonna be a slow moving target.

Okay, mine's usually around 118 or something. And I play on the .co.frag.UK server, my favorite one by far.

eh PS3 costs more because its new, as I remember X-Box 360 was around the same when it first came out wasnt it?

Nope, only $400.

Hmm, the counter for the number of kills on the bomber mission in UO stops after 64. I just got 70 kills! (maybe one or two more).

I am usually on CatHouse with around a 50.

Wow, I haven't played Call of Duty 2 for so long. It's collecting dust, it's got to be played soon.

I play a game of capture the flag every now and again, seing that its my only online mp fps game...

It is a good thing. I use it to take a break from seriousness and intensity that is CivIV :king:

Is it me or do you also find the caliber of player on CTF games is a bit higher than that of TDM? Allot of rifles. Allot of :bang!: headshot!

Well i never play tdm or dm so i wouldn't know. Although i find that the toughest opponents are to find in s&d games... but then again i only play ctf and s&d.

The thing that i love about Call of duty 2 is that its the only game i can play with high graphic levels without problems, even on online games.
I just installed battlefield2142 and i have to play that on a completely different graphic level than call of duty 2...
Nice going Activision!:goodjob:

Would be cool if you could move the HMGs.

Many a time I have wished I could move an MG42 to a window on the *other* side of the building. :ack:

Agreed.

Do they have light machine guns you can carry in CoD2?

I thought you had COD2?

You can carry BARs, Brens etc, so yes...it's just bigger MGs like the MG42 that you can't move.

No I have CoD + UO. I meant like the degeteriov (SP?) MG34s, and other mounted mgs that you can carry around.

The BAR is an assault rifle really, it has only 20 bullets in the magazine. Too few.

The BAR is an assault rifle really, it has only 20 bullets in the magazine. Too few.
The BAR's actually an LMG, as it doesn't really meet the specs of an assault rifle.
It's also got a very, very slow rate of fire, so slow that the army decided to switch the role of the BAR with that of the M1 Garand rifle during assaults.

Doesn't it have two modes of fire?

It still does not have enough bullets to be used as a machine gun.

Hand-held suppressing fire weapon.

In 1940, the final BAR model — the M1918A2 — was introduced. This model did away with the semi-automatic fire option in favor of fully automatic fire only. The rate of fire was adjustable, with a choice between "fast-auto" (500–650 round/min) and "slow-auto" (300–450 round/min).

So yes it had two modes of fire. The article says it was designed as an automatic rifle but was also used as an LMG. 650 rounds/min isn't exactly slow although at that rate it'd get through a clip in 2 seconds, and overheating was a problem due to the lack of an easily replaceable barrel. :)

Yeah, I often use it as an automatic rifle on slow fire, only on fast if I think I mgiht be attacked a little closer up (like 20 feet or less). And the clip is used in 2 seconds on fast. (in CoD:UO)

Doesn't it have two modes of fire?
Yep, slow and slower.

Well, 500-600 rounds per minute is more or less on a par with most LMGs of the war, though as the name implies 'slow auto' is pretty slow, and the BAR is not really a true LMG.

This site is good if you want to learn more. :)

300RPM is a pretty slow RoF.
The 20 round box magazine meant all too much time was spent reloading, and not enough firing, which meant that the US army had to effectivlely reverse its tactics:
normal doctrine stated that riflemen would engage the enemy from a distance, amnd keep them supressed, while machinegunners would flank them, and deliver devastating fire to their rear and sides.
The BAR's weakness, anbd the fact that the US had a formidable semi-auto rifle and carbine, meant that their machinegunners would engage from then front, while the riflemen would sneak behined, and let loose with hellfire.

A nice example of what made the US army so different from the others :)

Good site, by the way!

Yes but my point was that it could fire up to 600 rpm, which isn't all that slow. :p

But I can see how it wouldn't really be practical to fire it at that speed in a drawn out battle. :)

It is a good site, I found it while googling for info about BARs. ;)

My point exactly, it's not truely an LMG because of it's small amount of rounds.

My question is... why didn't thay make larger cartrdges?

Why?
Well, old habits die hard; if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Like I said, there was the adaptation of the BAR to be used more akin to a rifle, and the Thomson and Grease Gun were both considered more than adequate SMGs, while the Garand and Browning MGs were excellent supression weapons.
