Well folks, it came out yesterday. All you need to do for a code is sign up on www.callofduty.com and look in your email. But if you have Vista, you might have the same problems most of the other people are having.
Most of the people using Vista are getting black screens on starting it, only hearing the intro sound, maybe menu music. People have found things that fixed their situation, but an official fix has yet to show up.
I would make a fancy informational post like everyone else(see: rip everyone off) but until a fix comes, I'm stuck looking at the black screen.
Oh, yeah, the intro involves machine guns, I guess.

First one to PM me gets the code.

Perhaps I should make a new account.

Check your private messages.
Fucking Awesome! You, sir, are alright by me :^:
I'd also like to know this.
I hope I can still get a PC code...
This sure as hell makes me excited for the game!
They don't want my to try their fucking game
editx3: umm, now I'm registered I guess? weird.

Let us play and kill and feast on the corpses of our enemy.

would anybody happen to have another 360 Beta code.
My GF wants to hit up some online action with me on her 360. That would be totally cool. ;-)
I can't decide between this, Resistance 2, or Far Cry 2.. or LittleBigPlanet.
It's not -released-. This is the -BETA-.
What?
Between the tight controls and the competent server browser, what was there to hate?
Final Fantasy XI -> Carbuncle - Samash
For some odd reason I prefer the 360 controls. I do not know why. It is the only case in my life where I have preferred playing an FPS on a console. Usually console FPSs are a bane to humanity but to my great befuddlement I prefer COD on 360.
I played on both, and honestly, I wont argue with you on cod4 for 360. One of the tightest feeling shooters on the sticks that I've played. Something about the way the sticks control the camera, just feels right. That dead zone must be perfect to the .000001
Anyways, that being said, nothing is wrong with the PC version. I don't see how enjoying it on a console can somehow damper the experience on a PC, when the PC version controls just fine. In fact, just perfect.

And what are the Devs up to? Going into the Forums and taking suggestions for what they should add to Multiplayer.
Fuck this, I'm getting it for the PS2 when it comes out.
I'm sure they have people working on it. It's not like EVERY dev/community manager is tasked with fixing that shit (or even knows how to).
Being the same as COD4 isn't necessarily bad, since COD4 was excellent. But this feels so lazy that paying full price for it seems dirty, especially with a WWII theme that I'm sick and tired of. But that's just me.
I probably won't invest much (if any) time into it's competitive multiplayer... but you still have to remember, 4 player co-op, a (hopefully?) decent -> good single player, and a zombie survival mode! If the game was just multiplayer then yeah, it'd be expansion material. But there's a lot more content here (imo).
I also found that I can pretty much spam support for pretty much forever once a got artillery support.

I don't know, like there's obviously a good product there, but there's just something missing. It doesn't feel as solid as COD4, and besides the gun sounds, I can't put my finger on what it is lacking.
The one thing they did get right though are the shotguns. They're actually VIABLE WEAPONS! Please IW, patch this into cod4
Edit - Running it on the following system, if anyone cares (because of the issues a lot of people seem to have)
Core 2 Duo E6420 2.13GHz
2GB PC6400
Radeon HD4870 1GB
Vista 32-bit SP1
Would most people having these issues be running an nVidia card, perchance?
Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
Polish is one of those crap arguments like 'not getting it' in my book, elaborate? And playing on hardcore almost exclusively, I'm going to call bull on the weapon balancing. I've been smacked around by every weapon in the book so far and don't seem to have any one weapon held over another for balance.
If you arent playing COD PC on hardcore, then you aren't playing COD PC right. Big chunk of the PC community would probably agree.
Anyways, guns don't seem that imbalanced on normal, you just have a small ass clip, so you gotta make your shit count. Can't go blowing your load like prom night or some shit.

Polish is a polite way of summing up the quality of something without going into deep detail. A lot of key features of the game just aren't well thought out or well done in general: Spawn points, support, animation, graphics, tanks, and number of other things. I just want to drop my opinion, not give a five page point to point bullet form about my analyst on CoD:WaW.
I'm playing a mix of both.
I'm not going to argue how I think some weapons are overpowered then others but I will say this, both SMG and Machine gun pale in the number of toys they get compared to bolt actions and rifles. It's almost to the point of being silly.
Edit: Curse you smileys! Curse you to hell and back!
