You already can, it's simple than you'd think.


@Rasta - does it feel more like a new game, or a total conversion of COD4?

The best way to put it is basically like they have re-skinned cod4. And the reason i say this is because underneath you can see modern warefare with very little new additions. Even the WW2 weapons have the cod4 scopes (such as laser dot)

It really does seem more like an expansion, you get it only to expect a few more missions and a few new additions. Now i may sound negative which i don't mean to do so ill mention a few of the good/mixed points.

For those of you who played the gametype WAR in cod3, well it's back

The flamethrower which i mentioned a long time ago in a different thread, thinking it would be overpowered. It is actually a perk and not a weapon you equip so thats good.

If you like close combat maps then you will like atleast the 3 we have, ranged weapons seem to have been drastically tweaked, the movement on sniper scopes makes shooting near impossible without holding your breath. Not to mention hit detection which hopefully gets fixed for release.

Tanks are overpowered, you are looking at around 5 well placed rockets to take one out. Though they main turret isnot as deadly as the effects make it look, you need to have it impact quite close to a player to kill them.

Dogs are deadly, as soon as they touch you your chow. Fortunatly melee has been replaced with a knife attack which makes it slightly easier to defend from them. Also the dog animation is alittle weak and needs a little work.

Molitovs are pointless, the fire radius does not hurt and the hit detection only counts if the actual projectile hit the player, so the bottle would need to smash on the player to hurt them. Therefore you cannot use them against more than one person and i have noticed not one person uses them anymore because of this.

And it seems like everything is made of stone, just to explain what i mean, there seem to recoil, the player hands just don't move, and there just no atmosphere, even the ambience is quite.

A lot ofthe stuff i mentioned could well be fixed for realease so don't take it all that serious and you can obviously make up your own minds aseverone has different opinions on games. I always keep an open mind, even to games i love and try to give honest and un bias views on it, so anymore questions let me know.

can you tell anything about the vehicles? do they have realistic physics? can you push teammates away or can you kill them accidentally?

if you have the opportunity to record a video, would you demonstrate a few things which seem interesting to you, please?

got another question:
did treyarch implement the new killcams known from cod4 (consoles only)?

The tanks we have are not very diffferent to the other cod games to be honest, they move quite slow but are very tough to kill, i have also noticed there no actual sign you vehicle is damaged (no smoke?) so you really have to judge it before you just blow up.

As for damage, there main turret doesn't have a very large radius of damage but will kill if you hit within a few yards of a player. As for hitting people, due to there speed you can quite easily antisipate there route and avoid it but if you do get in the way then your soon have a few tons of steel mangled into every crevice

I don't have the resources to record a video right at the moment but am trying to get it sorted out soon (along with a new mic) due the upcoming game release (atleast 1 decent game every week) im not sure on the financial prioritys if you no what i mean

Yes they have. From nearly every projectile, including dogs and airstrikes.

Rasta writes...

so does that mean anyone in a tank is really hard to kill, so people will just stay in tanks all the time, killing everyone?

They're rather easy to kill. Use the explosive perk w/bazooka and hit the weak armor, or just plant charges on it.
Rasta must not know how to take out tanks.

Being in a tank won't help you get a lot of kills unless there's a lot of people bunched together and you manage to rotate the turret and land a nice shot within their radius, otherwise if you miss you have to wait while they have the chance to sprint away.

Hehe, that's ok then. I was thinking that the tanks were like some kind of super moving camping machine

@Rasta: first off, thanks for your replies!

i don't know much about xbox 360, so this might be a stupid question: can you copy the cod demo somehow on to your computer?

it might be possible to rip off the plain text files to have a first look at the gsc scripting...
