Call of Duty 2

[Maniacal]

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...

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

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

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.

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.

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

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

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

 

[Captain2]

yeah it is, so far its my fav level

 

[Maniacal]

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

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

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.

 

[Captain2]

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.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

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.

 

[The Omega]

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.

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!

 

[Nufuhsus]

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.

 

[Ecclesiastes]

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.
